The Fisher & Sons Approach is a multi-step process used to guide the project from a conceptual idea to final move-in. The series of steps work to identify needs and streamline costs early in the project planning.
Conceptual Design
The owner provides Fisher & Sons with a conceptual idea which, through our experience and past project cost information, we can develop a conceptual budget to determine if the project appears to be viable.
Preliminary Design
In this phase a project’s general scope, size and architectural concept are identified. The architectural team prepares preliminary drawings and documents, often including a site plan, floor plans, elevations and a cross section of the building. The project is then estimated, cost budgeted, and a preliminary schedule is developed for setting project priorities.
Final Design
Following approval of the preliminary design, Fisher & Sons is further contracted to prepare final design documents which define the details of a project and allow for final not-to-exceed pricing and construction contract preparation. Our team makes sure that all the requirements for permitting are being met, so when the design is submitted, it moves through the process as fast as possible.
Construction
Fisher & Sons has a smooth process to manage the infinite details of a construction project. We work closely with owners through every step of the process, making an idea become reality. Our Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) assures the viability of a project, while continually looking for savings to further improve the return on investment.
Start up & Warranty
When construction is complete, we provide a system “walk through” and review the building’s maintenance manual, which includes as-built plans and warranties, to be sure that you have all tools necessary to manage your new facility. Our commitment does not stop when we give you the keys–we encourage you to call at any time questions or concerns.
