Process/TeamBuild® - Assessment and Project Definition

Assessment and Project Definition | Design and Construction | Commissioning and Post Occupancy

Assessment and Project Definition:

Successful projects start well before the design of a facility. In the early phases, Linbeck helps our clients…

Outline their goals and get “buy-in” from different constituent groups
Assemble an expert team of planning consultants to review the options available
Develop expert assessments regarding their current facilities
Understand our detailed feasibility analyses that allow them to make informed “go-no go decisions” about new projects
Define the project early in terms of function, aesthetics, schedule and budgets so expectations and parameters are set before moving forward
If needed, establish a financial structure that can help them conserve capital
Objectively advocate the rationale for the project with any approving Boards if desired.

The Assessment and Project Definition phases of Linbeck’s TeamBuild® process are tremendously valuable to our clients because it helps them set expectations and properly manage risk before the more cost-intensive phases of design and construction.
