Disaster Recovery Projects
CSC knows that time is of the essence when you or your business has been hit with unforeseen damages and shutdowns. We can quickly evaluate the damage, recommend immediate steps for shoring and safety, and, if requested, assemble a design team with architects and mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) engineers that can accommodate a fast-paced design schedule to get repairs underway as soon as possible.
Full Design Documents, Ready for Permitting.
Collins Structural Consulting, PLLC can also provide full permit-ready design documents, with architectural, structural, and MEP design included. Our close collaboration with The HardArt Studio, PLLC and Kairos Project Group, Inc. gives you an experienced team that can get your full design documents completed and ready for permitting and rebuilding.
We know that every day a business is not operational costs money. The cost of business downtime can often exceed the cost of the repairs themselves.
Our goal is to incorporate time-saving methods into our designs, which could include:
- Working closely with the appropriate permitting departments to make sure the specific requirements for that jurisdiction are met, avoiding wasted time and money on unneeded documents or unnecessary resubmissions
- Completing the design documents quickly
- Incorporating materials that are readily available
- Planning designs around construction methods that are faster or can be performed away from operational areas of the business
Careful thought and planning during the design phase can save time and money on the overall project.
