We utilize our insight on behalf of our clients to proactively prevent factors that result in change orders, budget overruns, delays, scheduling problems and design errors during construction.
Mission Statement
Vizions is a unique construction and management company and consulting firm serving the construction industry offering responsive, cost-effective, quality, construction management services for complex projects and resolution of construction disputes. By utilizing our unique skill set and proactive approach, it is our mission to help each client with their construction project management from conception to completion.
Flexible Delivery Approach
Selecting a project delivery system is among the most crucial decisions an owner must make. Vizions facilitates the decision-making process by delivering services in the mode that best suits a client’s needs—from traditional design-bid-build to any variation of design/build. Our flexibility is not limited just to delivery systems; Vizions is also adept in different construction management roles. We are as comfortable functioning as an agency’s construction manager as we are in the role of construction-manager-at-risk.
No matter what delivery system we use or what role we serve, our goals are always the same: reduce total delivery time, minimize conflicts and costly delays, and bring projects into revenue service at the earliest practical date.
Flexible Toolbox of Services
Vizions handles the most challenging to the most straightforward projects by offering a toolbox of services tailored to meet size, scope, and budget. Clients choose from this toolbox to get the flexibility they need—whether it’s the full package of program management services, or specific stand-alone specialized construction consulting.
Vizions also has the capability to provide services at any phase of project development. Some clients want us involved as early as the design phase, when we can conduct value engineering and constructibility reviews. Other clients bring us in when construction starts so that we can provide continuous field supervision and monitoring. Many of our clients want us to remain on site to provide post-construction commissioning, testing, and start-up. Flexibility is the hallmark of Vizions’ approach.
Whenever you need us, wherever you need us, and whatever you need us to do, you can rely on Vizions to deliver the right service at the right time for the right price.
Business as Usual: Operations Unimpeded By Construction
Vizions has long been accustomed to working for owners who don’t have the luxury of closing their facilities to accommodate construction. Instead, we accommodate our clients by maintaining operations during construction using a variety of techniques: work-arounds, off-peak-hour construction, comprehensive staging, decking over excavations, and contractor incentives.
Building in Constricted, Historic and Environmentally Sensitive Siteswithin budget.
Owners rarely have the luxury of building on open stretches of land unhampered by neighboring structures or the presence of historic and archaeological sites. And most projects are also affected by environmental constraints and community concerns. Difficult building sites present challenges, but with the right construction manager, these challenges need not become insurmountable obstacles.
Cooperation and Partnering
With the right process in place to manage changes and claims on a construction project, litigation and arbitration can be greatly minimized, if not altogether averted. Vizions works diligently to avoid losses by minimizing the conditions that causes disputes. We also employ a variety of cooperative alternatives to litigation, including mediation, disputes resolution boards, and partnering. We routinely practice the attributes that make for successful partnering—a leadership style that accepts and encourages mutual respect, trust, participation, teamwork, and effective relationships.
Value-Added Services
Our clients invest in infrastructure; we invest in our clients. We do this by providing a number of services that act almost as a “third eye” to evaluate the functionality and build ability of structures before construction proceeds.
