Checkpoint

Strategic planning for building projects is a complex, multi-dimensional exercise. To succeed, your strategy must balance four interrelated variables: people, space, time and money. Each time you make a decision about one, it affects the others. Because this upfront due diligence is so necessary, we created Checkpoint, which provides you a quick and informative method to snapshot your current situation and consider options for moving forward. All this before ever drawing a line! It begins with a phone conference to find out what you are planning and what your goals are with the project. We will send you a worksheet requesting some historical data, which we will enter into our computer model. The model will generate a “report card” giving you basic information on your current positions and the feasibility of a potential project. The process concludes with a phone conference to discuss the Checkpoint results. We will make recommendations if there are roadblocks to what you are planning. The process takes about a week—depending on workload—from the time you return the data sheet.

Checkpoint Plus

Our Checkpoint PLUS service tool delivers all the valuable information discussed above under “Checkpoint”, but then allows the data to be tested in graphic form. If you have a site survey plan, we’ll take it, but if not, we’ll use a digital aerial map and create a site analysis plan. This plan includes a summary of site characteristics, encumbrances, and other items to consider as part of developing your campus master site plan. Based on the model and data results, we’ll take the space quantity and parking quantity data, with respect to phasing time, and develop one potential campus master site plan solution. We will also include a pro/con analysis and recommendations relative to this scenario plan idea. This visual tool will allow you to see firsthand a possibility for development. The process, in addition to the week needed for Checkpoint, takes about a week – depending on workload – from the time the Checkpoint model and data is completed.
