Project Specifics “Within a culture of stewardship, we strive to transform aspirations & strategic purpose into sustainable, effective and inspiring places making the world better for our clients, our firm and our communities.”

TEAM COORDINATION

At the proposal stage, emersion DESIGN selects the consultants we believe are best suited to meet the Client’s needs. Engineering consultant selection is initiated with a with a clear discussion of scope and project expectations. Prior to the project kick-off meeting we conduct an in-house team meeting with consultants to review project expectations, scope, scope, schedule, deliverables, communication protocol, budget, information available, special conditions, regulatory requirements, and project process. We engage our MEP consultants at every stage of the design process (concept design through construction) to share information and leverage the value of complete team review and input. We have a structured Internal Technical Review (ITR) conducted at each design milestone to include interdisciplinary design coordination.

SUSTAINABILITY CONSULTING emersion DESIGN was created, in part, to lead by example by engaging in our ideals

of stewardship for our clients, environment and community. Each decision is weighted against this pursuit and our sustainable design focus is paramount to realizing these ideals. We have been trusted by government agencies, Fortune 500 companies, universities and colleges, nonprofit organizations, healthcare institutions, and science and technology firms to guide them to a more sustainable future.
