Hyper-focused designs are a very important part of the construction process. We take the time to get to know your business, your needs, and your vision for the future so each party has clear expectations going into your project.
“With hyper-focused designs, you have information on every square inch of your plans,” says Juliana Martinez, one of Iris Construction Management’s lead designers.
These designs hold the trades accountable for their work. It leads to less changes and fewer overruns
Here’s why our design team creates such intricate designs:
Saves You Time
Time is the key to getting your project complete on schedule. We know you don’t want delays on your project, so that’s why our designs eliminate any grey area. If a general contractor or any sub-trades have questions, they will need to stop what they are doing to get a clear answer from you. If you don’t know the answer to their question, that causes further delays until you both figure it out.
Our detailed plans give no excuse to get your project done properly. You can hand these plans off to any general contractors or sub trades and they will know exactly what they need to complete the job. Don’t waste your time on back-and-forth communications — have clear designs in the first place!
Saves You From Being Underquoted
If you don’t have enough details in your plans it makes you vulnerable to be underquoted. This gives general contractors the chance to land a job at a low price and charge extra time for additional services that are necessary, but haven’t been clearly outlined.
Our fixed-cost line items guarantee no mark-ups. General contractors can inflate the cost of items to increase their bottom line. Avoid giving them the opportunity to charge you more than you budgeted.
All of your details will be ironed out with exactly what you need before you engage with trades when you have hyper-focused designs. This gives you an accurate budget and clear plans. Get trades to approve detailed plans at a specific price and timeline.
Saves Your Project From Being Over Engineered
There is a detail for every item included in our plans. At a glance you can see where your equipment is, including the height, specs, model, colour, brand, installation guide. On your millwork you can find finishes, what’s installed around the millwork, measurements and custom finishes. Find information on elevations, electrical and mechanical details and more.
We understand your vision and have a purpose for every placement on the plan. We aren’t just asking electricians to install plugs everywhere just to meet code. We provide plans specific to your business. For TVs in board rooms you need plugs at certain heights, or outlets in specific places to match where equipment needs to be plugged in.
Don’t let any contractor control your costs by adding unnecessary piles, lights or anything else to hike up the cost unnecessarily.
Reduce Your Risk of Error
Often conversations with trades lead to verbal contracts, which are easy to lose track of and impossible to hold people accountable for. Our detailed plans won’t leave any questions unanswered. If mistakes happen, our plans make it easy to identify who made the error and who has to rectify it.
Each piece of equipment has installation guides to make it quick and easy for any contractor to execute. Clear plans reduces the risk of errors, keeping your project on schedule.
“Hyper-focused designs are the best way to decrease the risk of future mistakes,” says Juliana. “Our details are the reason we are always on time and on budget.”
