Our Services
PRE-CONTRUCTION SERVICES
Through clarification of and commitment to project team goals, Asterisk provides the project owner and architect with control of the project's schedule, budget and quality. This is accomplished with studies, expert advice in construction means and methods and confirmation of the Asterisk project team's understanding of these goals with mockups, samples and investigations of existing product installations.
Asterisk believes the identification of team goals to be one of preconstruction's primary objectives. A draft schedule incorporating these goals with the anticipated construction activities and entitlement process displays logic relationships and anticipates potential team goal conflicts. The preconstruction schedule serves as the road map for design development decisions pertaining to project scope, budget and procurement. Thus, the Asterisk approach offers a controlled, effective use of preconstruction resources consistent with the progress required to acquire government approvals needed to complete the project on time and under budget.
GENERAL CONSTRUCTION SERVICES
Asterisk provides in-depth management and supervision of all of its projects,with hands-on involvement by the company's principals and project supervisors from start to finish. In addition to general building, tenant improvement and seismic retrofit services, Asterisk also provides added value to clients with its ability to self-perform complicated structural and architectural concrete work, as well as complicated and unusual timber framing.
Asterisk's process encompasses an information system for the project to coordinate the owner's and architect's goals. This comprehensive system includes numerous components ranging from scheduling, cost control, and billing to job meetings, procurement, job close-out and warranty management.
CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT SERVICES
At Asterisk, construction management services provide assurance to the owner of a well-run, problem-free job site. The team of experienced construction professionals provides cost control, scheduling coordination, quality control and timely execution of plans throughout the project. Asterisk's knowledge of local building codes, life safety requirements, permitting and other local nuances in the construction process is critical in the project's on-time and on-budget completion according to plan. The owner's interest is represented throughout the project, from start to finish, to ensure schedule compliance, coordinate proper document control and to optimize the owner's investment in the project.
DESIGN/BUILD SERVICES
In design/build projects, owners contract directly with a single entity — the design-builder — to provide both design and construction services. Design/build services may be provided by a single firm, a team of experts or as a joint venture and can offer clients with a number of advantages. Planning, design, engineering and construction responsibilities are integrated under one single source, thereby facilitating project delivery by streamlining the overall process.
Design/build project success is accomplished by applying a comprehensive project team management delivery system. The Asterisk team's experience covers a broad range of professional services, from consulting and feasibility studies, to the complete design, engineering and construction expertise to fully implement a project. The planners, designers, engineers and builders work in concert throughout the
entire project towards the common goal of providing a quality product at a competitive price.
