Preconstruction Services
Cost Estimating
From conceptual design, schematic, or advanced development phases, Hill’s Preconstruction group engages with the client’s project team to address a variety of planning activities. Our experienced Preconstruction team handles constructability reviews, value engineering analysis, budgets, schedule development, establishing project controls, and even performing enabling activities.
Cost Estimating is one of the key aspects of the preconstruction group’s focus. Establishing the cost basis for any particular project is the goal, but we have the experience and flexibility depending on the client’s needs, type of project, status of design development, timeline or scope of work. Hill’s estimating, design and fabrication software platform shares a common database that allows for system analysis from a number of perspectives. Project oversight begins during the estimating phase, with consideration given to a number of critical aspects such as personnel, schedule, project quality, safety integration, value engineering and project controls. And project analysis led by the Preconstruction group completes the project cycle to validate details associated with the project outcome.
Engineering
Mechanical Engineering has always been a core competency within the Hill Group. Through four generations of designing, building, servicing and maintaining mechanical systems we have the experience and knowledge to provide the highest quality of services. Hill engineered projects include high rise, campus, higher education, healthcare, light industrial, heavy commercial, food processing, and pharmaceutical. A constant influx of talent keeps us current with the latest technologies and methods, so whether you need an engineer of record, a solid design assist partner, or are building the next great Integrated Project Delivery team, The Hill Group has your engineering needs covered.
Capabilities:
Our licensed professional engineers, along with 50+ degreed engineers will provide and support a wide array of engineering expertise in design/build, design assist, peer review, modeling, energy modeling, commissioning, LEED, and construction technologies to achieve desired requirements.
Technology:
Hill maintains an integrated suite of mechanical construction technologies to provide the highest value during the design, estimating, modeling coordination, prefabrication, construction, commissioning, and owner training/turnover phases.
These technologies are leveraged during all phases to support the most efficient prefabrication and construction activities as well as optimized start up, commissioning, and preventative maintenance. Our integrated approach allows us to find best value constructability and schedule solutions, and our project engineers, designers, and technology solutions team make Hill a valuable member of a project’s virtual design team. Many of the company’s technological capabilities and modeling/estimating services are developed and performed in house by dedicated Hill professionals.
Virtual Design
The Virtual Construction Department’s technological capabilities and modeling/estimating services are developed and performed in house by trained and dedicated Hill professionals. Our integrated approach allows us to identify coordination/construction issues early in the process, therefore eliminating constructability challenges that arise during installation. Hill maintains a unique suite of Virtual/3D/BIM technologies that provide the highest value during all design and construction phases.
