HMC had only 6 months to design, build and move into the new offices. Using a modified design-build approach, Q&D provided budget information at design milestones, enabling the design to respond to Q&D’s material and constructability alternatives and keep the project on budget and on schedule. By having input during design, HMC eliminated having to go through the time-intensive redesign that goes with missing a final budget.
“Using materials in a non-typical way required special attention and planning. Q&D and their subcontractors not only constructed the work to a high level of quality, they were diligent in using their own creativity to provide us with the construction details. Without the collaboration of Q&D, our design would not be the success that it is.”– Jerry L. Eich, President/CEO of HMC
