Construct
Present the findings of the study to the design team and owner. Discuss the influence of each measure on the project and how it effects the goals and requirements guiding the design.
Prepare submittal documents & drawings for code compliance, planning or permit approvals. Perform existing conditions inspections and additional HERS inspections as required. Document the positive efforts of the construction team for recognition by Building Departments and Green Building Programs.
We use our years of hands on construction experience to design and specify mechanical systems -supply equipment selections - design guidance and construction logistics to installing mechanical contractors.
