While the design-build approach naturally compresses the construction cycle, the effective application of The Kopf Consulting Group’s unique estimating process and their tilt-up detailing software offers even greater efficiency for project timelines.

 

Further, performing structural design and construction detailing concurrently has proven to result in even greater compressed schedule delivery. The process begins with an analysis of the structure utilizing a proprietary panel design software program which takes into account job specific design information such as dead and live loads, wind loads, concrete strength, height of panel, eccentricity of the vertical load, as well as pricing information for the concrete and steel reinforcing material.

 

The data results in thousands of possible scenarios with a final recommendation for the most cost-efficient design based on all factors, not merely the history of past projects.
