SERVICES

Design - Build:

Ahrens Companies understands the dependent relationship between the designer and the contractor.  We bring professional representation to the constructed product and a single point of contact (all services in house) for the entire building process from planning to design and ending with construction.  Our goal is to provide every Owner with the product they envisioned on time, under budget, at the highest level of quality available.

With our registered Architects, Engineers and Designers, we provide complete building design services from the pre-planning phase through final design and construction as well as post-design consultation on a variety of building types.

Our Design / Build services include:

  • Site Plan Development
  • Due Diligence
  • Value Engineering
  • Scope of Work
  • Construction Document Development
  • Drawings and Specifications
  • Permitting
  • Sustainable Design
  • Research and Interface with City/County/Federal Agencies as required

 

General Contracting:

We take technical proficiency, budget adherence and scheduling as benchmarks for each project.  Scheduling the right equipment and the right team for each job, coupled with technical and disciplined managers is a cornerstone of our vast and successful construction portfolio. 

By analyzing all aspects of a project with our team, we know how choices in one area affect another, and we can deliver an accurate and completely coordinated estimate.

Our Pre-Construction services include:

  • Conceptual and Final Estimating
  • Budget Development
  • Value-Added Engineering
  • Schedule Development
  • Continuing Operations Planning
  • Document  Review
  • Development Proformas for Financing

Rarely are scope and budget in balance at the beginning of the design.  Once we thoroughly understand the goals of the project, we will detail the workable options so as to maximize the program.  This "value engineering" is often described as dollars saved, but it in fact serves a larger purpose: cost-effective evaluation of long and short-term options ensuring the comfort and efficiency of the user.

By monitoring changes as the design is developed, our reports highlight the line-item differences in scope, and their cost impact to the overall budget.  Designs are evaluated and changes implemented to accommodate budgetary constraints. 

We will evaluate the construction documents for completeness, ability to achieve product quality, and construction logistics.  In other words, we look at the details from a builder's perspective, supporting, but not assuming the duties of the designer.  By identifying conflicts and problem areas up front, we reduce the number of changes and limit delays and additional costs to the project.  Working from an extensive and continually updated database of costs, coupled with years of experience with various building types and markets, we know what a specific project should cost.

Our Construction services include:

  • Total Quality Management (TQM)
  • Project Management and Supervision
  • Cost Control
  • Safety Program
  • Scheduling
  • Project Closeout

 

Quality Control Management:

Preparatory meetings are held prior to performing work to establish responsibilities, contract requirements, scheduling, hazards involved and proper safety required in completing each definable feature of work.  Initial and follow-up inspections are conducted during each activity to assure all quality standards are maintained.  Final inspections are conducted upon completion of each work phase to assure compliance. Risks must be continually reviewed and processes developed.  Policies and procedures that reinforce these values must be communicated.

Our Post-Construction services include:

  • Building / Facility Manuals
  • Warranty Service

Sustainable Design:

The LEED certified professionals on our team will know what eco-friendly green principles may be applicable to your site, thus selecting the improvements which fit your Return on Investment requirement.
