HEATING, VENTILATION AND AIR CONDITIONING Design of ventilation and air conditioned systems for commercial, residential, institutional and industrial applications. The complexity of the works performed range from retail stores and fast food restaurants, to clean and sterile room facilities with the necessary humidity, airflow and pressure controls. New energy efficient technologies, indoor air quality (IAQ) regulations and other standards are considered for every new design performed regardless of its complexity. All designs comply with International Building Code and ASHRAE Standards 52.2, 55.0, 62.1 & 90.1 minimum requirements. • Ventilation and air conditioning design for several retail stores and banks • Air conditioning and exhaust system design for fast food restaurants. • Large-scale air conditioning and exhaust systems design for private office buildings. • Exhaust systems design for carbon monoxide accumulation removal in partially and totally enclosed vehicular facilities. • Ventilation and exhaust systems design for multi-level residential buildings. • Air conditioning system design for public health care facilities. • Air conditioning system design for public and private school facilities. • Air conditioning system design for public convention centers and theaters. • Air conditioning system design for large sports coliseum and aquarium. • Air conditioning system design for general commercial projects. • Low humidity and clean rooms design. • Automatic controls sequence of operation specifications including: 1.

OUR PROJECTS Whatever the scale of your project – whether it’s a state of the art healthcare facility, entire resort community or residence – the e figueroa p.s.c. team approaches every design with a clear and constant recognition of who will be staying and working within the finished product. We couple this recognition with a commitment to make every project design, commissioning or management experience as meaningful and rewarding as possible. It’s this forward thinking approach that has helped e figueroa p.s.c. become recognized as a leading firm for creating high-quality, sustainable projects worldwide.

HOUSING Everything that has to do with dwelling and living spaces We love working with residential projects – we put equal care in both the design of a bathroom or the renovation of a kitchen, as with a substantial rehabilitation of a rundown house. In the long run, what we want is to create spaces where all family members, in sync with their lifestyles, can dwell pleasingly and comfortably, while making the most out of the available resources. COMMERCIAL SPACES Places that facilitate the exchange of goods or services Commercial projects always inspire us – from retail, visual and spatial branding, restaurants, and corporate offices, to guesthouses, recreational facilities and educational spaces. Only after developing a thorough understanding of the needs and intentions of each project, we can develop effective and dynamic space alterations, so as to stimulate a productive business environment. PUBLIC SPACES Landscapes, outdoor recreation and leisure spaces The quality of public spaces is a treasured asset for city dwellers; it is also essential in order to accomplish positive socialization, community development and a sense of safety. Our public space designs intend to create enjoyable circulation spaces and outdoor meeting areas, while encouraging the inclusion of vegetation, shade, lighting and furniture all together with the urban and natural landscapes. ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN Synthesizing aesthetic, practical and technical matters Architectural design is the basis of the creative process – it allows us to harmonize the aesthetic, functional, spatial, and technical intentions of a project. Through design, we can achieve better defined spatial sequences and material combinations. Throughout the development of the design, we produce different types of drawings and graphics that show the ideas and document the construction process. MATERIAL SELECTION The fusion of colors, textures, details and assemblies We put special care in the selection of materials and finishes in each project, so that the final details reflect quality, aesthetics, safety and
e.13
durability. We prefer local manufactured products, and, in consistency with the budget, we strive to choose materials that respond appropriately to the conditions of our tropical climate. CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT All about the art of managing the construction process The integration of design and construction experiences enables us to excel at construction management. Because of this service, we can work to ensure the quality of the project and safeguard cost controlling. The Construction Manager solely represents the interests of the client; also offers advice regarding project schedules and the use of available funding. CONCEPTUAL DESIGN Graphic illustrations that render the initial ideas The conceptual design is one of our favorite phases of a project – first we characterize the project requirements and then we start to develop preliminary design solutions. A conceptual design is most often a graphic representation of the initial ideas of the project; it allows for the definition of general objectives and for the outlining of the project’s financing strategies. FEASIBILITY ANALYSIS Educated projections on different aspects of the project Before designing, developing a feasibility analysis allows us to evaluate and examine the potential of the planned project, so as to identify if the project can be carried out profitably and to the client’s expectations. This, in the long term, eases the process of decision making. Whether it is market research or an economic feasibility study, this allows us to perform a better technical direction of a project. COST ESTIMATES The definition of the cost components of designing and building Our design-build expertise allows us to develop incisive cost estimates, along different stages of the project, based on our broad understanding of local materials availability and construction processes in Puerto Rico. The cost estimates provides a financial overview that considers design, materials, labor, subcontractors, and the necessary equipment to complete the project.
