Design-Build

Taylor Leigh Construction offers a complete Design-Build program that integrates architecture, engineering and construction into a single-source of accountability delivering cost effective mission critical facilities much faster than the traditional design-bid-build method. Taylor Leigh Construction acts as the single point of contact for the client and accepts responsibility for the design and construction of a project. The combined effect yields considerable overall profitability to a project and may make seemingly unfeasible projects into genuine opportunities.

The following represents Design-Build services typically provided to create and deploy scalable infrastructures, as well as environmental conditions that are reliable and safe from outside influences.

Strategic Facility Planning STRATEGIC FACILITY PLANNING
Strategic Facility Planning is a process for planning that includes facility specific goals and objectives that become the measurement for design, construction and operations of a mission critical facility. Taylor Leigh Construction evaluates objectives and priorities to address current and future requirements and develops a balanced approach to improve performance and reliability, while reducing energy and maintenance costs in a sustainable manner.
Schematic Design SCHEMATIC DESIGN
Schematic Design establishes the general scope, conceptual design, scale and relationships among the components of the project. The primary objective is to arrive at a clearly defined, feasible concept while exploring the most promising alternative design solutions. Taylor Leigh Construction will prepare a series of rough plans, known as schematics, which show the general arrangement of rooms, mechanical, electrical and telecom equipment.
Design Development DESIGN DEVELOPMENT
Design Development expands upon the approved schematic design studies to develop more detailed drawings illustrating other aspects of the proposed design. Taylor Leigh Construction verifies the design complies with applicable building codes and meets performance and tier-level classification standards.
Construction Documents CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENT
A Construction Document is a comprehensive, fully coordinated set of drawings and specifications that define the work to be constructed. Taylor Leigh Construction utilizes the construction documents to establish actual construction cost, develop construction schedules and obtain the necessary permits to construct the project.
Best Practice Benchmarking BEST PRACTICE BENCHMARKING
Best Practice Benchmarking is a technique, method, process, activity, incentive or reward that is more effective at delivering a particular outcome than any other technique, method, process, etc. The idea is that with proper processes, checks, and testing, a desired outcome can be delivered with fewer problems and unforeseen complications. Taylor Leigh Construction applies this technique to define the most efficient and effective way to accomplish a task, based on procedures that have proven themselves over time.
Cost Estimating COST ESTIMATING
A Cost Estimate establishes a baseline project cost at different stages of development and provides cost control during construction. Taylor Leigh Construction collects and analyzes data on factors that can influence costs, such as materials, labor, location, duration, and special equipment requirements to accurately forecast scope, cost, and duration of a project.
Risk Management Assessment RISK MANAGEMENT ASSESSMENT
Risk Management is an objective evaluation of risk at the start of a project in which assumptions and uncertainties are clearly considered and presented. Taylor Leigh Construction conducts a comprehensive risk assessment to identify potential risk and develops a strategy to minimize risk while improving project performance and overall profitability.
Code Compliance Analysis CODE COMPLIANCE ANALYSIS
Code Compliance Analysis & Compliance provides oversight to ensure that each project follows best practice standards and complies with federal, state and local rules and regulations. Taylor Leigh Construction researches applicable codes and regulations, and makes recommendations to identify and mitigate risks, and improve compliance.

Lifecycle Cost Analysis LIFE CYCLE COST ANALYSIS
Life Cycle Cost Analysis is an effective method used to evaluate the cost of owning, operating, and maintaining a critical facility or infrastructure system over a period of time. Taylor Leigh Construction applies this method to evaluate the economic value associated with initial and future costs of ownership and then compares alternative designs or system types to determine the lowest cost.
Value Engineering VALUE ENGINEERING
Value Engineering is an efficient method of evaluating the ratio of function to cost to improve the value of goods and services. Taylor Leigh Construction applies this method to improve quality, reduce costs, and increase efficiency without compromising functionality, sacrificing quality, or reliability of a project.
CPM Scheduling CPM SCHEDULING
CPM Scheduling is the practice and use of critical path method (CPM) as an effective project management tool to plan, coordinate and schedule construction activities. Taylor Leigh Construction applies this method to develop the most efficient and effective way to improve schedule performance and avoid project delays.
Safety Program Management SAFETY PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT
Safety Program Development is the process of determining and applying appropriate standards and methods to minimize the likelihood of accidents, injuries or environmental impact both during construction and during the operation of its deliverables. Taylor Leigh Construction develops and implements an effective safety program that improves performance and complies with federal and state regulations.
Permit Expediting PERMIT EXPEDITING
Permit Expediting is the administration required to prepare and submit a permit application to obtain the necessary approvals to build or improve a mission critical facility. Taylor Leigh Construction reviews permit submittals for accuracy and completeness to identify potential issues prior to submission. Taylor Leigh Construction knowledge of a complex and ever changing regulatory process is essential to significantly reduce the time required to obtain a building permit.
Procurement PROCUREMENT
Procurement is the process by which goods and services are obtained at the best value, in the correct quantity and quality, at the appropriate time. Taylor Leigh Construction develops a procurement strategy to ensure contracts for goods and services are designed to provide the best value and quality, while delivering environmental and socially responsible products and services.
Quality Assurance & Control QUALITY ASSURANCE & CONTROL
Quality Assurance & Control verifies compliance with minimum standards of material and workmanship in order to insure the performance of a project according to the design standards and best practice. Taylor Leigh Construction evaluates the overall project performance to ensure the completed product meets the project design standards.
Cost Accounting & Control COST ACCOUNTING & CONTROL
Cost Accounting & Control is an efficient accounting method designed to establish budget and actual cost of construction. Taylor Leigh Construction applies effective cost control strategies to track and analyze the financial progress of a project.
