Baylor Scott & White
Preconstruction Excellence: Delivering Value from the Start
Prism Electric’s 15-month design assist with Baylor Scott & White on their Frisco project showcases our commitment to early-stage project collaboration. Through regular design meetings, we collaborated closely with the design team, identifying potential challenges early on and uncovering opportunities to reduce costs.
Our Proven Process
Prism Electric’s success on the Baylor Scott & White – Frisco project is a testament to our well-established Preconstruction approach. We prioritize early collaboration, ensuring that our team is aligned with both design goals and budget constraints. This commitment to open communication allows us to provide alternative solutions that meet design specifications while reducing costs and improving efficiency.
By maintaining clear expectations and participating in regular design meetings, we identify opportunities for cost savings, prefabrication, and optimized workflows, ensuring the project is delivered on time and within budget.
Key Achievements
- 15-Month Design Assist Involvement: Our extended participation in the design phase allowed us to deeply understand project goals and provide cost-saving alternatives without compromising quality.
- Cost Reduction in Lighting Fixtures and Distribution: By working with the design team, we reduced the lighting fixture package and redesigned the electrical distribution system, meeting the design intent while lowering costs for the client.
- Alternative Installation Methods: We proposed new installation techniques that reduced expenses while maintaining the desired design and functionality, providing additional value to the client.
- Budget Optimization: We coordinated imaging equipment switchgear with the general contractor, removing double-counted costs from the overall budget, leading to significant savings.
- Scope Control: Our proactive approach to identifying and addressing scope creep early on prevented unnecessary budget overruns and schedule delays.
Key Benefits for Clients
- Cost Savings: Our early identification of cost-saving opportunities and scope control prevents budget overruns and costly rework during the construction phase.
- Timely Delivery: By optimizing installation methods and coordinating with key project stakeholders, we ensure that projects are completed within the agreed timelines.
- Enhanced Quality: Our collaboration with the design team and general contractor ensures that all solutions maintain the project’s design intent, resulting in a high-quality final product.
- Reduced Risk: Proactively addressing potential scope creep and budget misalignments from the start minimizes financial and scheduling risks for the client
In addition to Preconstruction services performed by Prism Electric, we also took the lead in Virtual Design and Prefabrication services for this project.
Preconstruction is more than just planning; it’s about delivering real value. At Prism Electric, we help you achieve your project goals efficiently, economically, and on schedule.
