Atlanta Beltline, Atlanta, Georgia <br />Our Approach - Cost Control <br />Perkins and Will’s philosophy regarding the critical component of <br />estimating construction costs is to work with the stakeholder in <br />establishing project budgets and probable costs based on current and <br />reliable market data. <br />At the initiation of a project, when the scope and desired level of quality <br />have been defined, the team establishes a cost model for the project <br />that itemizes expected costs for systems. This cost model then becomes <br />the benchmark against which future planning and design decisions <br />are made. This method allows the team, when necessary, to test a <br />particular component of the design to determine its compliance with the <br />established budget. <br />Typically, comprehensive cost analysis (in addition to the aforementioned <br />cost model) based on drawings and specifications are provided at <br />Schematic Design, Design Development, 50% Construction Documents, <br />and 90% Construction Documents. <br />Perkinsand Will has extensive and successful experience with establishing <br />and meeting the budget for projects. <br />Our Approach - Quality Control <br />Perkins and Will has a quality control program that provides both <br />technical assistance during project design and a strictly enforced system <br />of periodic review. We believe that no matter how much we reinforce <br />the idea of quality documentation as an ongoing design process, we <br />must supplement careful document production with a rigorous checking <br />process at various phases of a project’s design process. <br />Schedule and Budget <br />24
