- COST CONTROL
Arthur Frimet AIA, LEED AP experience as estimator and general contractor, has created a cost and budget consciousness that is applied from the inception of all designs, in order to bring the projects within budget.
- VALUE ENGINEERING
Walter C. Young Regional Library
Pembroke Pines, FL
The budget for this project had been established four years prior to the start of the design. It is a joint project developed via an inter local agreement between The School Board of Broward County, the City of Pembroke Pines, and Broward County. There was no mechanism for increasing the budget.
In order to keep the job to the budget, we designed all details to reduce costs. We estimated costs during the three design phases of the project and priced a series of deductive alternates to keep the project within the budget. Six years later, the bids came in 3% under the original budget.
