GOVERNMENT BUILDING ARCHITECTURE & CONSTRUCTION IN COLORADO The Neenan Archistruction™ Process LEARN MORE Our Unique Approach to Government Building Planning, Design & Construction Where to Begin Government Building Design The Neenan Company firmly believes that each branch of government is distinctive in its needs, and that their aspirations are unique. Your government building shouldn’t just reflect your goals, but rather, it should realize them. The design stage of your government facility build with Neenan is entirely collaborative, and totally unlike any other design process that you’re likely to encounter with other architecture firms in Colorado. The level of inclusivity and communication in our design process should far exceed your most wild expectations, and includes your entire staff community and committee members. Objectives of the Collaborative Design Process The design of your government space will be built upon the answers to these core questions: How do you want your government facility to feel? In what way can the systems that we implement and materials that we use streamline maintenance and lower cost to taxpayers? How do you imagine the flow of citizen and employee traffic to be, both inside of the space and in the area surrounding it? The answers to these questions will help us to develop new ideas and options that can be presented and tested, along with budgets and schedules that correspond to each one. This collaborative design process will help us to accurately establish the character of the government facility that you would like designed, and further evolve the site plan overall and the building plan in particular. Knowing what major systems need to be incorporated early on helps us to more accurately estimate all of the factors that will come into play during our government build project with you. How do you want your government facility to feel? Government Building Pre-Construction Although it may be tempting to immediately begin the construction phase of a government facility building project, the Neenan Archistruction Process includes an additional step to ensure that the values of your project are being met to your expectations. Every government building will have different short and long-term goals. Some of our clients desire to emphasize a responsible initial cost to their build, while others desire to put more value on low-cost maintenance. We encourage each of our government clients to determine what they value most in this regard to their facility, and allow them to define the value of their project. Our expertise in the area allows us to offer many different options in regards to best finishes, systems, and even how to furnish and decorate your government facility. Target Costing in Building Construction The entirety of the pre-construction phase is based on a principle called “target costing.” This is an approach to design that specifically incorporates cost as a factor, the ultimate goal being to minimize waste and create value in your building. The problem that many clients tend to encounter when they work with separate design and construction companies is that each side of the equation wants to present the option that most benefits themselves and their own self-interests. The result of this conflict of interests is potentially wildly inflated costs that can balloon the price tag of your government facility build, and cause taxpayer funds to be used unwisely. Our collaborative design process totally eliminates this conflict of interest, aligning cost and value, and keeping your best interests as our main focus. Government Building Construction The direct interaction and cooperation between our construction and design teams begins the day that you sign with The Neenan Company, and doesn’t conclude until after your project is completed. Not only are all of our designers, pre-construction managers, and project managers all in-house, they are literally positioned together for the duration of your project. This provides ample opportunity for natural interaction and communication, and is unique to the Archistruction Process. Our design team is not contractually obligated to work with our construction team — instead, they are two arms of the same body structure. The two teams have shared interests, which also happen to be your interests. Each of the members of our design team that are assigned to your project are in communication with the field superintendent on a daily basis, and attend all meetings that we have with your building committee. Our design team is present to work with the construction team to develop all options that increase your project’s value, as well as to review the construction quality regularly.
