COLLABORATE
PROACTIVE, POSITIVE TEAM MEMBERS
Alpha actively participates in every meeting, listening, learning, and bringing creative ideas early in the process. We recognize that each project has its own path, and we approach every challenge with flexibility and a positive mindset that supports the early design phase.
ORGANIZATION AND COMMUNICATION
From project kickoff, Alpha establishes the project team and internal management plan. This structure remains consistent throughout the project but adapts as needed. The result is an organized workflow that supports clear, efficient communication.
OPEN WORKING ENVIRONMENT
Our office culture encourages collaboration, listening, and shared learning. This spirit extends beyond our walls and into our relationships with clients, architects, and design teams.
CREATE
SENIOR LEVEL INVOLVEMENT
As a boutique firm, Alpha places meaningful senior expertise on every project. Experienced leaders remain engaged throughout the process, ensuring timely, informed decisions that support the project at every step.
BUILDING INFORMATION MODELING (BIM)
Since 2008, Alpha has utilized Revit as our primary BIM tool. We promote early model sharing to validate architectural ideas and enhance coordination. Our approach goes beyond traditional structural modeling, resulting in more accurate, well-coordinated documents. Every team member contributes to the modeling process.
DEVELOPMENT
As the project progresses, initial structural concepts are shaped into detailed construction documents. We refine each design decision to deliver cost-effective, creative, coordinated solutions.
COMPLETE
BUDGET AND SCHEDULE
Our reputation for delivering projects on time and within budget comes from consistent follow-through. We remain actively engaged in cost discussions, developing structural cost opinions, reviewing cost analyses, and supporting schedule decisions. We adapt as needed to support the overall process.
QUALITY ASSURANCE AND CONTROL
Thoughtful and timely quality control benefits the entire team. From Principals to Associate Engineers, everyone participates in the review process. Alpha establishes a QC plan for each project based on key design milestones, resulting in well-coordinated, accurate documents.
CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION
Continuity during construction is essential. The same team that developed your construction documents will support you through the construction phase. We understand the challenges that arise on site, and our consistent team involvement leads to informed, timely, cost-effective solutions. Our services include shop drawing review, pre-construction meetings, responding to field questions, conducting site visits, and reviewing inspection and testing reports.
