Complete Design and Construction Services

Fisher Construction Group was one of the first construction companies in the Northwest to develop an in-house design|build construction approach. With complete architectural, engineering and construction services combined under a single contract, you’ll work with one team from concept to completion. The benefits of Fisher’s design|build project approach are:
Single point of accountability: All responsibility – for accuracy, completeness of plans, quality of construction, project coordination and costs – rests totally on Fisher Construction Group.
One contact for all questions: The project manager, who oversees every phase from design through project completion, has full decision-making authority. Just one call takes care of any concern.
Design efficiency: Our construction, architectural and engineering expertise dovetails perfectly, ensuring maximum design efficiency and value for the owner.
Superior teamwork: Because we maintain control over both design and construction, each step flows smoothly into the next, and everyone works together for the common good of the project.
On the fast track: Design and construction can proceed simultaneously when necessary, helping get owners into their new facility faster and reducing interim financing costs.
Ongoing communication: Superb lines of communication – from weekly meetings to daily email and phone calls – ensure that issues are resolved immediately.

The Fisher Approach

We use a multi-step process to guide a project from a conceptual idea through final commissioning. These steps work to identify needs early and streamline costs. Click on each of the fundamental phases below to learn more:

 

 

A client meets with a team from Fisher to review an idea from which, through our experience and past project cost information, we can develop a conceptual budget to determine if the project appears to be viable.

In this phase a project’s general scope, size and architectural concept are identified. The architectural and enginering group prepares preliminary drawings and documents, often including a site plan, floor plans, elevations and a cross section of the building.

Following approval of the preliminary design, Fisher is further contracted to prepare final design documents which define the details of a project and allow for final not-to-exceed pricing and construction contract preparation. Our team makes sure that all the requirements for permitting are being met, so when the design is submitted, it moves through the process as quickly as possible.

Fisher has a smooth process to manage the countless details of a construction project. We work closely with owners through every step of the process, making an idea become reality. Our Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) assures the viability of a project, while continually looking for savings to further improve the return on investment

To be sure that you have all tools necessary to manage your new facility, when construction is complete, we provide a system ‘walk through’ and review the building’s maintenance manual. This Owner’s Manual includes all of the as-built plans, warranties and any other relevant documentation. Our commitment does not stop when we give you the keys–we encourage you to call at any time with questions or concerns.
