Architects

Can the details be built that way? Will it leak? Are your
consultants on the same page as you?
Did the schedules get filled out logically? Did anybody proofread this? Let PC Associates staff become your quality control department. It’s what we do.

Exiting and access are complicated if you aren’t in the code
books every day. It’s all about independent choices. Let PC
Associates help you get the look you want and comply with
all the rules.

Between new energy codes and funding restrictions, going
green and getting LEED certification is becoming mandatory
for many clients. Once all the decisions are made regarding
which credits to go after, the tedious task of inputting all the
data into LEED Online begins. We can do it for you without
falling asleep and ensure that what goes on the template is
coodinated with your drawings. We will coordinate with your
consultants to help ensure information is received and
entered so milestone submittal dates are met.

BIM is a great new addition to your tool box. However, architects and their consultants
often utilize different platforms that can’t talk to each other without the use of yet
another expensive software. Then once the models are merged, the clash detection
report is a mile long! Is all the stuff on the list really a major problem? No-but the
computer doesn’t know how to interpret the information-PC Associates staff can.
We run the clash detection, go through the report, the model and your construction
documents and tell you whats important.

Contractors often ignore the specs unless they’ve left something out of their price,
Then they “mine” the specs for issues that conflict with the drawings-be it sizes or
materials or installation methods. Materials shown in drawings that are missing from
the specs or vice versa suddenly become a big deal. Proofreading construction
drawings gives PC Associates staff all the information needed to provide you with
Specifications that actually match the drawings and your design intent.
