Construction
Proper planning is the key to success on any construction project. Engaging Meridian Development as your strategic partner early in the planning phase ensures a highly efficient project in terms of cost and time. Meridian Development provides the foundation for a successful project with a clear and detailed roadmap informed by any or all of these pre-construction services:
- Feasibility Studies – We develop and evaluate conceptual design and construction alternatives with comparative costs to determine project scope and actions for further development.
- Preliminary Cost Estimating and Scheduling – Utilizing schematic level design documents, we guide budgeting and produce schedules for overall design, permit and construction phases to indicate procurement or critical path issues early in the process.
- Design Management – Our collaborative approach to the design-build relationship and extensive experience with commercial professional space often yields valuable opportunities to increase efficiency and cost-benefit.
- Value Engineering and Construction Review – Meridian Development reviews designs for ease of construction, suitability of materials, procurement schedule issues, and other key factors in order to identify, recommend and implement value engineering opportunities.
- Permit and Entitlement Management – Coordinate and expedite the entire permit application, review and approval process, to include handling timely comment responses and meeting with permit authorities to determine all requirements and associated costs.
