UNITAS is the name of a staff carried by the Master Builders during the Middle Ages and was used for laying out and measuring structures.
We believe the name is appropriate for our 7 Principles of Practice, the guide by which we measure the quality of our work, including procedures, techniques and all processes.
1. COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCEWe believe in the principle of people working together to achieve the “Very Best” and we are proud of our high standards that we set in our work.
2. INNOVATION AND CREATIVITYOur firm is always looking for a fresh approach or a new technique in the project delivery process.

03_ PROJECT DELIVERY SYSTEMS:
AN OVERVIEW
One of the most important decisions an Owner can make and one that is too often taken for granted is the selection of the most appropriate Project Delivery System.
Most projects proceed under the traditional “Design–Bid–Build” approach; assuming that it is the most expeditious and cost saving approach, but years of experience belie these assumptions.
The “Design-Bid-Build” approach does not provide for a “checks and balance” mechanism for budget and cost control. Difficulties are also caused, in part, by the late arrival of “real” pricing information, accomplished at bidding, after the design and construction documentation phases are complete. Consequentially cost overruns and quick fixes are the norm, which result in compromised and inconsistent project quality and extended schedules. Not exactly the best ingredients for producing quality projects and client satisfaction.
With the “Design-Bid-Build” approach, the Contractor is selected after the Bidding Phase, eliminating the possibility of utilizing the Contractor’s expertise and market place knowledge to research alternative products and construction techniques that result in cost and time savings during the design process.
When contractors bid the project “cold” and without the benefit of the decision making process that came before during the development of the design, usually resulting in an incomplete bid with the prospect of future added cost and because the Contractor is selected principally on the basis of price, there is the possibility of compromising project team compatibility with a inappropriate contractor.
Normally, a Guaranteed Maximum Cost Contract is used in conjunction with this Design-Bid-Build method.
The contractor is required to be responsible for the pricing of not only their companies services but also for the cost of as many as a dozen, or more, other subcontractor companies. It is only natural for the participants to add cost as a means to protect their bottom line under the terms of a “Guaranteed Maximum” contract and be distracted in their concerns for this bottom line in lieu of looking for the best alternatives and opportunities for the client’s project.
The owner will always reap the largest reward if they will, in partnership with the Architect and the contractor combine their expertise in a collaborative approach that explores the opportunities in all phases of the process, researching product availability, value, utilizing competitive pricing and working towards consensus. This is the way successful businesses operate. Over the years we have developed OLIVER, our Project Delivery System. It provides the techniques to research materials, provide cost - management, identify best value and reduce or eliminate most of the shortcomings of more traditional methods. The result is a more balanced, integrated and successful project.
04_OLIVER
A PROJECT DELIVERY SYSTEM – PDS
OLIVER is an innovative project delivery system developed over many years of working with fellow architects, project management and development firms and construction companies. We continue to refine the system into an efficient and effective methodology for delivering the best project value for the budget. Because it is an open-ended and flexible system it assures the most appropriate approach for the client/ owner.
OLIVER incorporates the advantages of value engineering, fast track, team building, bridging and procurement techniques. The biggest advantage of our PDS is that project cost and delivery lead-time Information is developed early, eliminating the difficulties caused by the late arrival of this very important cost and schedule data one experiences in the traditional approach. Acquiring this cost data early in the project also helps to reconcile the client’s scope of work with the project budget. Ongoing cost monitoring during subcontractor bidding reduces or eliminates the need to double back for redesign, re-documentation and re-pricing. This saves time and money and assures a more balanced, effective and consistent project.
Some of the features and advantages of our Project Delivery System are:
OLIVER eliminates unknown cost early in the process and provides the techniques for establishing realistic Budgets and ongoing Cost controls.
Another of the advantages of this method is the technique that provides the information to build an “Early Real Cost Data Base” which occurs during the contractor selection and proposal process, which is concurrent with the design development phase. Price and cost finding continues during the subcontractor bidding selection and procurement phase, which is concurrent with the design development and construction document phases. This dynamic process provides the client with competitive pricing and the information necessary for considering alternatives and identifying best value.
With the contractor as a member of the project team and with the cost data base Information, the team members are able to facilitate budget decision-making and are able to “micro - manage” project costs on a continuous basis.
Our PDS incorporates the Construction Specification Institute’s Master Format - the equivalent of the “Dewey-Decimal System” for the construction industry. This index is utilized as a method to organize and categorize drawings, specifications, estimates, bids, budgets, schedules and contracts, providing for a uniform design-construction language.
OLIVER saves time with preventative techniques by streamlining project process and eliminating double backs and major project redoes as a result of cost overruns.
OLIVER’S value engineering techniques provide for quality, performance, price and lead-time alternative information on products and materials, which better assures “Best Value” and “On-Time Project Delivery.”
0-5 CLIENT SERVICES:
CONSULTING AND FULL PROJECT SERVICES
CLIENT ADVOCACY:CONSULTING SERVICES
We provide client advocate consulting services that assist in the development of clear Mission Statements and Project Delivery Strategies for both new and existing projects. Our goal is the design and construction of the most Functionally Effective and User Friendly Working Environments for our client’s companies.
Our consulting expertise can be provided during both Pre-Project and Project Phases. An outline of these service activities is as follows:
PRE-PROJECT CONSULTING SERVICES:Project Mission Statement DefinitionDue Diligence, Pre-Project AnalysisReverse or Re-Engineering of Existing Function Type FacilitiesDynamic ProgrammingRe-Imagining and re-Branding WorkshopsProject Consultant Selection and Team Building
PROJECT CONSULTING SERVICES: Architecture and Interior Design
Project Delivery StrategiesProject Procurement and Construction StrategiesProject ManagementConstruction ManagementConstruction Administration
About Re-Engineering and Innovation workshops:Re-engineering is a process that explores the way a Company functions and analyzes it’s processes for the purpose of developing more effective and efficient function types and a better and more contusive work environment.
This Reverse or Re-Engineering Process utilizes a Think Tank Approach, with Creativity Workshops and “Brainstorming Sessions,” Group Interaction and Story Board techniques. Once a “Better Way” is identified then the next step is a Dynamic Programming Process to establish Functional Requirements, Inner Department Relationships and Procedures necessary for the newly defined Function Type. . New processes and procedures could well be delineated, old procedures either modified or abandoned and a totally new approach for providing service or product could be defined.
Once the Program Requirements are clearly defined and the Project Goals are clearly stated, a Project Delivery System would be put into place to bring the Project from the Mission Statement Phase into Reality.
Planning Phases, Design and Construction will then follow. The end result would be an exponential step forward for the Client Company providing a leadership position and competitive edge in the marketplace.
