Our institutional clients place a high value on integrity, quality, and building for long term use.
Early use of our knowledge and experience of materials, methods and procedures allows us to help institutions make informed decisions
that make the best use of their building funds, and address concerns about maintaining historical integrity. We also recognize that
working in an institutional environment requires sensitivity to the needs of that community, whether it be a golf academy, private
school, or treatment facility for troubled youth.
Many institutional organizations are charitable in nature. Working together as a team is a key ingredient to maximizing the value
and benefit of their investment. T&W can assist organizations in incorporating and making the most of “gifts in kind” available within the community.
In many cases, we recommend the design-build approach, because of it’s open team oriented approach to the planning and
construction process. The design-build approach gives the owner the greatest degree of control over and education about costs
and schedule early in the planning stage. You can only realize savings on your project during the design stages. Once the
plans are done and the project begins, savings are only realized through sacrifice of project features and benefits to
keep the project in budget. Early involvement of an experienced construction professional is key in making good early
decisions in the planning and design process before tens of thousands of dollars are spent in design and engineering fees,
with diminished opportunity to impact the final cost and long term value of your project.
The sooner you involve T&W in the development process, the sooner you have the opportunity to save!
