Cost Control Our team has an excellent track record of producing buildings on budget, within tight time frames. From the initial concepts through to design development, we will provide cost planning services through working with a cost consultant as required. Our team will work closely with you to maintain project costs throughout the design, design development and contract document stages of the project. Starting with the programme and throughout the project, we will provide cost planning and cost control services in order to establish a project budget by the Board. We will review project costs and prepare a cost plan for review with the client. These cost plans are used to summarize building elements that can be added or removed to meet the construction budget exactly. Through this cost plan method, we have successfully achieved great value for our clients, on all our previous projects.

Schedule Control Our team has a strong reputation for delivering design excellence within the constraints of a highly restrictive schedule. This has been achieved through commitment and diligent schedule control. We coordinate drawing reviews, with each budget submission. In this manner, the client is aware of the progress of the documents for all members of the consultant team throughout all phases of the work. Progress can be constantly monitored such that all consultants maintain the project schedule.

We have earned an enviable reputation with our record of schedule control. Most projects have been completed at or below budget; all have been completed very close to the targeted dates, many using fast-track systems to achieve dates not otherwise attainable.

Digital Capabilities Our team uses web-based project management software throughout the entire design/build process. Each project-specific site allows open communication between the various team members;

owners (including user groups), consultants, local municipal authourities, quantity surveyors, and project and construction managers. All files are maintained on the site, including all current drawings and other documents. All project material is automatically backed-up each night, and a system of passwords is used to ensure the security of the site.

Our team provides integrated visual and virtual power between the digital interface of the latest AutoCAD Release 2002, utilized during all phases of project development including working drawings, while simultaneously developing 3-dimensional wire-frames, virtual walk-throughs, and solid and rendered models with 3-D Studio Max/Viz and Adobe Photoshop for full project development. We have a complete and functional UTP Category 5 Network with bandwidth versatility to digitally transfer data information between Client, Consultants and User.

Effective digital communication strategies are deployed through our completely secure IBM Server with a Microsofts Windows NT 4.0 operating system equipped with RAID technology and multiple gigabyte backup capacity and archiving. Enhancements of the digital information array include external communication formats such as facsimile, email, Zip disk transfer, and CD writing available to all workstations along the digital backbone. Complementing these efficiencies are high-speed large format colour and blackline output devices and a networked state-of-the- art large format copier/ facsimile and laser printer.

We currently implement the lastest software, Microsoft Office 2000, Microsoft Project 2000 and project budgeting programs to manage, schedule and track all aspects of design, production, and construction of all our projects. Our in-house standards for filing and CAD production match those set forth by the Ontario Association of Architects, for efficient coordination throughout the project team.

Our teams drawings have been featured in many competitions as well as used as a teaching tool for post-secondary institutions (TUNS, Dalhousie University). Currently Eglinton Spectrum Public School and Birkdale Childcare Centre are featured on the Architectural Record website, illustrating photos, drawings, specifications, descriptions and design solutions (see website address http: //www. archrecord. com.)
