Our expert in-house engineers and technicians have a solid understanding of HIPAA requirements, meaning we are sensitive to the importance of health information privacy and are committed to protecting your organization and your patients.

This expertise extends to meeting the processes and requirements as set out by the Center for Disease Control, the goal being to reduce or eliminate the risk of patient infection created during construction or construction-related activities, including gowning, gloving, and tenting in patient areas and laboratories.

Further, by leveraging our proprietary Integrated Technologies Design™ (ITD™) methodology and working as a team, not only will we design, install, and maintain your systems and provide support throughout the entire project lifecycle, but we will accelerate your project, saving you time and money.

BENEFITS OF ITD?

Singular Responsibility

With both design and construction in the hands of a single entity, Vision is your single point of responsibility for quality, cost and schedule adherence. Our ITD team is responsible for quality, budget and schedule, as well as performance of the completed facility. Under the ITD^® methodology, Vision takes responsibility for any issues requiring resolution between design and construction.
Improved Quality

Traditional design-bid-build too often relies upon restrictive contract language, adversarial audit and inspection, and, ultimately, the legal system to ensure project quality. In the ITD® methodology, Vision is solely responsible for your completed product. This accountability drives outcome-focused quality throughout the entire process. Our ITD® methodology ensures quality from the initial consultation.
Cost Savings

Our ITD^® Team (engineering and construction personnel) collaboratively evaluates value-engineering designs, materials and methods efficiently and accurately. Value engineering and constructability are utilized continuously and more effectively when the engineers, contractors and vendors work as one during the entire design and construction process.
Time Savings

Because design and construction are overlapped (and because bidding periods and redesigns are eliminated), total design and construction time can be significantly reduced. Design-build is ideal for the application of “fast track” construction techniques without associated risks to the owner. Material and equipment procurement as well as construction work can begin before construction documents are fully completed. The resulting time savings translates into lower costs and earlier occupancy of the completed facility. Earlier occupancy equals faster time to revenue and happier tenants.
Enhanced ROI

Change Orders can run as high as 35% of the project value. With Design-Build, one PM manages multiple scopes. It also encourages transparency in pricing, allows more effective channel and manufacturer management, and enhances collaboration with GC and trades.
