CONCEPT
Our objective in the Concept phase is to work with you to understand the vision and goals of your project. Analysis of your project or program is a key focus in this stage to help answer “What are my options to achieve my project/program goals?”
DESIGN, ARCHITECTURE & ENGINEERING
Schematic Design, Design Development and Construction Documents are developed with you following AIA methodology. We contemplate healthy building measures and energy efficiency through HVAC mechanical, electrical, plumbing, instrumentation and controls. Middough understands that meeting project schedule and designing a project within your budget is critical. We adapt our design process to support your needs.
BID, AWARD, PROCUREMENT
In this phase of the project, Middough can take a leading or supporting role. In the bidding phase, we will organize the solicitations, provide advice on viability of vendors and contractors, perform labor surveys, and lead pre-bid meetings. We support you in addressing bidder RFIs as well as provide technical / cost bid evaluations. Our architects and engineers, schedulers, project controls, and procurement team align cost, contracts, and timing to keep your project on track.
CONSTRUCTION
Depending on the delivery method selected, Middough’s role during construction varies, but the value we provide remains the same. We endeavor to assure that the project is constructed to design intent. Our architects and engineers review and approve submittals, field RFIs, support field changes, monitor construction progress, conduct special inspections, and provide a key interface with our construction manager or your contractor to answer questions, verify materials and issue modifications if necessary.
COMMISSIONING
In the Commissioning phase, Middough can coordinates all requisite project startup and commissioning tasks. Outputs of this effort ensure that the construction effort has met fully the acceptance criteria for effective and safe facility startup operations. Commissioning ensures the construction meets design and operational expectations.
CLOSE OUT
The close out and warranty phase finalizes all project activities and pulls together documentation of the project from start to finish. We will assess the project, ensure completion technically and financially, derive lessons learned to apply to future projects, prepare record documents from construction, and capture warranties for all installed and constructed items.
