Alir Constructions's conceptual design capabilities align each project's function, scope, cost and schedule with client objectives to optimize project success. The conceptual design phase offers the best opportunity to assess business, commercial and technical risks; and to improve our clients' return on investment.
During conceptual design, we use our Baseline Centric approach to deliver appropriate, cost-effective solutions, enhancing the value of clients' assets and increasing their long-term business success. This proprietary system begins with Alir Constructions's EPIC3 platform, a collaborative work practice that engages a project's multidisciplinary team members during development.
The EPIC process:
- Assigns accountability for services and material
- Builds early consensus across all disciplines and functional areas
- Connects each project activity and decision to the estimate
- Details EPFC in a conceptual design report
- Establishes a detailed estimate
- Reduces the number of change orders
- Solves the project's issues prior to execution
