Conceptual Estimating
Over time, buildings undergo significant wear and tear, including discoloration, concrete deterioration, foundation damage, salt crystallization, and microbiological growth. Even with regular maintenance, exposure to weather and environmental factors can lead to substantial degradation and necessitate repairs or restorations before construction work. However, this does not necessarily mean demolishing the structure. Often, restoring an existing building is more cost-effective than constructing a new one, particularly if the building’s internal layout remains unchanged. Simple measures like exterior cleaning, crack repair, and structural reinforcement can be more economical compared to new construction.
At Crown Waterproofing and Restoration, our pre-construction team is skilled in providing accurate conceptual estimates to ensure budgets are precise. Our expertise spans a broad range of solutions, including concrete repair, corrosion control, post-tensioning repair (both bonded and unbonded systems), moisture control and waterproofing, building envelope restoration, and historic preservation.
Design Assist and Value Engineering
When evaluating the most cost-effective manufacturing technology, we utilize design assistance and value engineering. The value engineering process involves a systematic approach to enhance both initial and long-term support, aiming to improve value while minimizing costs. This includes reviewing draft blueprints and discussing maintainability. Unlike traditional methods, this approach involves addressing design concerns with the construction team during the design phase, rather than waiting until issues arise during construction.
Crown Waterproofing and Restoration offers a combination of specialized capabilities to deliver comprehensive products, repair, and maintenance services. We also collaborate with select construction partners to integrate their services. Our process involves evaluating, designing, and building tailored, turnkey solutions that provide owners with a single-source, cost-effective, and time-efficient project.
Project Scheduling and Logistic Planning
Project scheduling involves outlining a plan for each activity within a project. Logistical planning is also crucial when upgrading and restoring buildings. The goal of any logistics strategy is to provide accurate estimates and employ innovative design methods to effectively restore existing installations. Crown Waterproofing and Restoration’s unique solutions aim to reduce costs by identifying the most economical services, aligning with the expectations of the design team from Crown Waterproofing and Restoration’s pre-construction team. This ensures that work and scope verification are accurately executed.
