Through diligence, hard work, and attention to detail our professional services have generated cost savings, created schedule reductions, and provided scope enhancements for our many clients.

 

Budgets are met because we provide value engineering suggestions that reduce cost without compromising quality or schedule.  We also do our own independent, detailed cost estimates so that we can compare them to bids we solicit from reliable and competitive contractors.

 

Quality is something that we take very seriously at d'Escoto, Inc.  Our quality management process involves plan review early on in the design to familiarize ourselves with the project requirements, reviews of the testing and inspection reports generated by independent expert agencies, reviews of shop drawing submittals and RFIs throughout the construction process, and our own periodic inspections of the project to ensure that the contractors are following the design intent and delivering the specified products.

 

Scheduling is an area that d'Escoto, Inc. excels at.  We utilize a proprietary system and software tools that allow us to gather, store, and assess data creatively and efficiently.  We pay particular attention to phasing, required deadlines, procurement of long-lead items, and meeting any phased move-in requirements of the Owner.  Contractor's schedules are reviewed and monitored to ensure on-time completion.
