Redesigning For Quality, Efficiency, And Long Term Performance
Waterways began as a stick build waterfront residential design, however the original budget did not pencil for the owner.
Strategic Group aided the owner in redesigning the project to a concrete tunnel system, creating a higher quality product while improving affordability and long term operational efficiency.
The redevelopment also required flood mitigation planning, site elevation strategy, grey water system coordination, and MEP optimization to support long term performance and constructability.
The Challenge
- The project began as a stick build design, but the original budget did not pencil for the owner.
- The site sat below flood elevation and required a practical strategy to raise and stabilize the development area.
- The project required coordination surrounding water systems, infrastructure, and long term building performance.
The Approach
- Aided the owner in redesigning the project to a concrete tunnel system to create a better quality and more affordable operating model.
- Supported site elevation planning using fill generated from lake excavation to raise the property above flood requirements.
- Coordinated planning surrounding grey water systems and sustainable utility infrastructure.
- Focused on optimizing MEP systems to improve efficiency, constructability, and long term performance.
The Outcome
- Helped advance a more durable and financially feasible construction strategy through redesign and value engineering.
- Improved site functionality through flood mitigation planning, utility coordination, and infrastructure design.
- Supported the creation of a higher quality waterfront residential development designed for long term efficiency and operational performance.
