Rardin and Carroll Architects through years of church development has established relationships with quality Christian focused general contractors that team with us to provide complete services to the church. When requested by the church, we will select one of our experienced construction firms to provide to the church a complete “team based” design / build package. This team concept would be developed to have separate contracts with the church in order to eliminate any potential conflict of interest between the architect and the contractor. This potential for conflict of interest is the major pitfall with the traditional Design-Build concept, and is totally avoided with Rardin & Carroll. With our team concept, our contractors can provide the following:
Turn-key Solutions
Fast-Track Option
Lump Sum Price
PRE-CONSTRUCTION SERVICES
As a team, we coordinate the design and construction efforts in the early stages of the design to develop a building concept that is sensitive to time constraints as well as your budget. Through this relationship, the major structural systems, mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems and material selections can be analyzed for pricing and delivery concerns. The following are services that are provided:
Early Budgeting
Value Engineering
Constructability Analysis
Conceptual Scheduling
FAST-TRACK OPTION
At an early stage of the design process, our team can “fast-track” the construction process. This technique of designing and constructing at the same time overlaps tasks, thereby shortening the overall design and construction process which can lead to savings in labor and material costs.
