Alongside Cardinal Strategies’ expert Engineering Division and experienced Construction Group, Cardinal distinguishes itself through its Design-Build Capabilities. In addition to these, they also have specialized skills and technical expertise, with the ability to navigate complex approval processes.

Design-Build Capabilities: Seamless Collaboration and Optimized Solutions

Cardinal Strategies has a distinct value proposition of design-build capability, housed within its civil engineering and construction divisions. This integrated approach offers a significant advantage to clients. Additionally, Design-build project delivery fosters collaboration, limits uncertainty, and streamlines communication between Cardinal’s teams.

Before

• Seamless Collaboration: The engineering and construction teams at Cardinal Strategies work side-by-side, resulting in seamless collaboration throughout the project lifecycle. Understandably, this integrated approach minimizes miscommunication, streamlines operations, and ensures the design vision is accurately translated into the built structure. Cardinal’s collaborative approach allows for real-time problem-solving, adapting to keep projects on track.

During

• Informed Design: The construction division’s knowledge and experience with drainage and erosion control strategies are directly incorporated into the design phase. As a result, the engineering division can create designs that are not only functional but also resilient against environmental challenges. Further, this expertise ensures that potential challenges are addressed proactively, rather than reactively during construction. Separate entities often lack this level of integration between design and construction.
• Proactive Planning: The early involvement of construction expertise in the design stage allows for proactive planning. For this reason, potential issues related to drainage and erosion can be identified and addressed in the design itself. Ultimately, proactive planning reduces the likelihood of costly adjustments during construction.

After

• Optimized Solutions: Cardinal Strategies’ construction division’s proficiency in dealing with drainage and erosion control contributes to more optimized, effective, and sustainable solutions. In other words, this means designs that are environmentally friendly, compliant with regulations, and better suited to withstand water-related challenges. By considering these factors from the outset, Cardinal delivers solutions that not only meet but exceed client expectations.
• Enhanced Value: By incorporating the construction division’s insights into the design phase, the engineering division can deliver designs that offer enhanced value. Therefore, this also includes increased longevity, and improved safety and stability. This translates into long-term benefits for clients, including reduced maintenance costs and extended asset life.

Drainage and Erosion Control: The Foundation of Sustainable Construction

Drainage and erosion control are crucial aspects of many construction projects. They help to protect the environment, prevent soil erosion, sediment runoff, environmental degradation, and ensure water quality. Without effective drainage and erosion control measures, construction projects can have detrimental environmental impacts, including water pollution and habitat disruption. Cardinal Strategies’ Construction Division’s expertise in these specialized areas provides a competitive edge over general construction companies. By prioritizing drainage and erosion control, Cardinal ensures its projects not only deliver functional solutions but also contribute to environmental stewardship.

Cooperative Consulting from Design to Build

In the design-build delivery model, a single entity is responsible for both design and construction. Consequently, this single-source responsibility offers numerous benefits. Firstly, it fosters seamless collaboration between the expertise of two divisions. Specifically, our expert civil engineers and construction crews work side-by-side from project inception. As a result, potential issues are identified and addressed proactively. Moreover, having a single point of contact simplifies communication for the client. Ultimately, this integrated approach enables faster project delivery and cost savings. In conclusion, design-build’s single-source responsibility enhances collaboration, streamlines communication, and improves project outcomes.

Conclusion

In the competitive landscape of construction, environmental, and civil engineering, Cardinal Strategies stands out through its diverse range of services, commitment to quality and sustainability, and specialized expertise. Its design-build capability, housed within its civil engineering and construction divisions, offers a significant advantage to clients. Importantly, design-build’s single-source responsibility fosters seamless collaboration and streamlines communication.
