Architectural Repairs
Working with public facilities can be a challenge in that the design needs to be adaptable to welcome a varied cross-section of the population and highly flexible to potentially accommodate multiple uses. The design must meet safety requirements, current needs and future expansions with the end result usually being uniquely identifiable within the city.
From a functional level, the best design of public facilities studies the acoustics, adjustable lighting, versatile spaces and integrated audio-visual technology appropriate for the design. It is also important to take into account a design that allows access for disabled and senior citizens.
Whyte Construction successfully facilitates these needs.
 
  Keeping to the budget
At Whyte Construction we use cost engineering, a practice that relates to the management of project cost. This involves activities like estimating, cost management, cost prediction, investment appraisal and risk analysis.
We budget, plan and monitor your project. We will look for the optimum balance between cost, quality and time requirements.
Our Quantity Surveyors have the judgement and experience required to use principles and techniques for issues of estimation, cost management, budget planning and management science, profitability analysis, project management, planning and programming.
The key objective is to attain accurate cost estimates and schedules and to avoid cost overruns and schedule slips. This goes beyond preparing cost estimates and schedules by helping manage resources and supporting assessment and decision making.
 
  Design & Build Packages
With a design service available we are able to adapt and modify projects to fit within budgets and construction lead times. In fact we have the flexibility and scope within our own company and the specialists we work with, to actually accelerate building programmes to exceed client expectations. This often involves working safely and unobtrusively in client-occupied work spaces both during and outside of normal working hours. Our people are always particularly security-conscious when on the job too.
