Integrated Design & Construction, LLC is a service provider of Architecture, Construction/Administration/Property Asset Management, Sustainable Design practices and Specialty Caulking installation. The combined experiences of our team have completed more than 3 Million square feet of Commercial, Medical/Healthcare, Institutional and Mixed-Use structures throughout the Northeast. We have demonstrated skill sets, combined with an average of 28 years of design, construction and management capabilities that strengthen our project administration and overview.
Our fundamental tenets of successful project management and team collaboration involve all parties (i.e., Owner, Architect, Contractor and End User) during the Design and Construction process. We unite risk management, control tools, computer skills and interpersonal qualities that strengthen our clients’ vision and end result mindset.
Our Philosophy
I D & C’s values are simple and straightforward — Provide professional services (i.e., Design, Management, Administration, etc.) Real Estate Asset Management for Commercial/Corporate/Institutional to our clients that focus on creative solutions, managing risks and collective involvement.
Architecture is not a stagnant process that fits the traditional “Rules of Order.” It has an “organic” growth and maturity that promotes discoveries, explorations and problem identification and resolution. We integrate modern methods of design procedures through technology and collaboration amongst the project team. Integrated Design & Construction promotes teamwork during every step from Pre-design to Post-construction. Constructive dialogue and feedback is paramount in capturing the essence of Clients’ directives creating an atmosphere of professionalism throughout.
Inspired Design & Construction
Our approach to the working with our clients is to customize our services for the unique and particular requirements. If we are performing architectural services, we engage the client early on to assess as much information up front as possible. We create a working atmosphere of thought sharing and collaboration to understand and address specific necessities of the design program. Various design tools (i.e., BIM, 3D Modeling, Energy Analysis, etc.) are utilized, which provides a realistic outcome of the design progression.
As Construction Managers or Construction Administrators, our emphasis is evaluation, constructability and risk management for our clients. We “de-construct” the production from Pre-Construction activities to Closeout and determine the crucial elements of the project. The end results benefit the project team by creating benchmarks and metrics. Sophisticated Owners are the norm of the day and should be treated that way for the most successful and realistic outcome.
