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 DOCUMENTS
Construction Documents are 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.
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.
LEED LEED
Taylor Leigh Construction consistently incorporates LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) criteria as a guideline for mission critical designs. At the outset of every project Taylor Leigh Construction conducts a LEED audit and conforms to sustainable design principles, whether or not the client chooses to obtain certification.
Sustainable Architecture SUSTAINABLE ARCHITECTURE
Sustainable Architecture is an environmentally conscious design technique in the field of architecture. Taylor Leigh Construction applies this method to minimize the environmental impact of a mission critical facility by enhancing efficiency and moderation in the use of materials, energy, and development space.
Capacity & Demand Analysis CAPACITY & DEMAND ANALYSIS
Capacity & Demand Analysis evaluates the power and cooling capacity of a critical facility and determines the total facility availability in comparison with current power and cooling loads, best practice and tier-level classification standards. Taylor Leigh Construction conducts a facility audit to identify sources of inefficiency and recommends cost effective procedures to improve performance and increase availability for capacity planning and future growth.
High Density Cooling Strategies HIGH DENSITY COOLING STRATEGIES
High Density Cooling Strategies evaluate the sensible cooling capacity and reliability required by high density equipment and determines the total facility availability in comparison with current sensible cooling loads, best practice and tier-level classification standards. Taylor Leigh Construction offers comprehensive cooling strategies to identify potential sources of inefficiencies and recommends cost effective procedures to improve performance and increase availability for sensible cooling, allowing for energy savings and reduction in operational costs.

Design-Build 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.
Precision Cooling Systems PRECISION COOLING SYSTEMS
Precision Cooling Systems monitor and maintain precise temperature, air distribution and humidity for high-performance IT equipment in mission critical environments. Taylor Leigh Construction delivers cost effective and reliable cooling solutions to improve performance, increase efficiency and reduce energy and maintenance costs while improving availability.
UPS Systems UPS SYSTEMS
Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) provides short-term emergency power to connected IT equipment by supplying power from a separate source to prevent a sudden system shutdown when utility power is not available. Taylor Leigh Construction offers comprehensive large scale UPS solutions designed to deliver maximum efficiency, reliability and quality power at the highest level under load conditions.
DC Power Systems DC POWER SYSTEMS
DC Power Systems consist of high efficiency power conversion technologies designed to convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC), a process known as rectification. Taylor Leigh Construction offers a comprehensive range of energy-saving DC Power solutions designed to deliver maximum efficiency, reliability and output power quality at the highest possible level under load conditions.
Stand-By / Emergency Power STANDBY / EMERGENCY POWER SYSTEMS
Standby / Emergency Power is an independent power generation system that allows operation of a mission critical facility in the event of a power failure and/or is legally required to power critical equipment or systems whose failure may present a life safety hazard. Taylor Leigh Construction offers comprehensive standby and emergency power solutions designed to deliver maximum efficiency, reliability and output power quality at the highest possible level under load conditions.
Fuel Transfer and Storage FUEL TRANSFER AND STORAGE
Fuel Transfer and Storage is an automated system used to maintain, control and monitor fuel supply for standby & emergency power generation systems. Taylor Leigh Construction offers a comprehensive, innovative and cost-effective fuel management solutions designed to deliver maximum efficiency, reliability and a quality source of fuel in the event of a power failure.
Air Sampling Detection AIR SAMPLING DETECTION
Air Sampling Detection, sometimes called VESDA®, provides early notification of a developing fire by detecting microscopic particles of smoke. Providing rapid fire detection before a fire has developed increases the time available to respond to a fire threat, minimizing damage and infrastructure downtime. Taylor Leigh Construction offers innovative and cost-effective air sampling detection solutions to ensure the safety and integrity of mission critical environments.
Fire Protection & Alarm Systems FIRE PROTECTION & ALARM SYSTEMS
Fire Protection & Alarm Systems consist of several advanced technologies combined together into one complete, highly coordinated and high-functioning automated system to detect and control the unwanted presence of fire by monitoring environmental conditions. When a detection system is activated, audible and visible notifications alert the occupants of a developing fire. Automatic fire suppression systems may be activated to control the spread of fire and smoke, minimizing damage and infrastructure downtime. Taylor Leigh Construction offers a wide range of fully integrated fire protection & alarm solutions designed to ensure the safety and integrity of mission critical environments.
