KEY CONSIDERATIONS
Challenge One
The P3 delivery model created an extreme, fast-track delivery of the building structure. On this project, Entuitive prepared and delivered structural construction documents months ahead of the rest of the consultant team.
Solution One
A highly collaborative and flexible design approach was critical to delivering a successful structural design. Entuitive worked closely with the consultants and contractor to plan ahead, and delivered a structural design that was both cost-effective and flexible enough to accommodate future work by other consultants.
