New Buildings
The design of new buildings may be divided into a number of phases. These include needs analysis, cost estimates, initial design and planning, final design, tender documents, assistance with choosing a contractor and consulting during construction. For cost estimates, Mannvit specialists can utilize the company’s own highly-developed price database, which includes thousands of unit prices covering a wide spectrum of services and materials.
The analysis and design of bearing and support structures are a vital aspect of all construction design and, more often than not, ultimately determine the cost-effectiveness and quality of the final development. Furthermore, how long a building lasts can depend, to a large extent, on the selection of the materials used in its construction and the arrangement of its support structures, which must be able to resist the external and internal forces to which they will be subjected, both with regard to load-bearing capacity and rigidity. All of these aspects – design, materials and arrangement of structural support – work in conjunction in any successful building project.
Maintenance and Renovation
Successful building maintenance and renovation projects require experience as well as precise planning and execution. A wide variety of factors must be taken into account and as a consequence such projects are often complicated and may require such elements as: analysis, assessment of the type and level of maintenance involved, design of the proposed work, preparation of technical specifications and tender documents, cost estimates and assistance with choosing a contractor. Such projects also require consulting services during construction, including construction management, supervision and appraisal.
