Design, Engineering & Estimating

Laying the foundation of your project

Every decision made at the beginning of your project is crucial to maximizing your investment. This is when you need a team of experts that can guide you to informed decisions. It is a phase where you can have the greatest positive impact on the cost, scope, schedule, and value of your project. This is when you want a team that will set your project up for success.

Intelligent Planning

Utilizing an integrated, collaborative approach to the pre-construction phase, our teams coordinate efforts with each other, as well as clients and external teams, for streamlined pre-construction planning. Teamwork and communication leads to the reduction of risk, while increasing the opportunity to come in under budget and under schedule.

Engineering/Design-Build Our diverse team of engineers works with architects, owners, and other subcontractors to coordinate design and ensure compatibility with existing building systems or other desired systems. It is a team featuring masters across numerous disciplines, including LEED accredited engineers, mechanical and industrial engineers, and a Data Center Energy Practitioner Specialist. This allows us to tackle an unmatched scope of markets and projects.

Estimating Drawing from extensive experience and historical data, we provide realistic, reasonable, and reliable budgets through analyzing your design documents, project needs, construction method, and other variables. Throughout the design phase, we are at your side to provide updates as your project evolves, offering recommendations to create value and enhance the process.

BIM Utilizing the latest Building Information Modeling (BIM) 3D software, our team at Therma excels with services such as total station layout, prototype modeling, fabrication detailing, and MEP coordination. By pairing this in the preconstruction process with a team of field-experienced technicians, we accurately assess your needs, coordinate the design, and model complex HVAC, plumbing, and process systems in 3D.

There is no substitution for planning. Taking the right steps in the pre-build phase saves long-term headaches.

Industry Leaders

Cutting Edge

We were some of the earliest adopters of Design-Build and BIM technology, and we haven’t stopped. With the latest technological solutions including the latest AutoDesk Design Suite and modern BIM software, we are the leaders in preconstruction planning throughout the region. With over three decades of company experience using these programs, our expertise is hard to match.

Experience Matters

Having the best available technology is meaningless unless you have team members with the knowledge to use it. Our preconstruction team has hands-on field experience to back up their technical work – they’ve seen what can happen on the job site. This isn’t knowledge you get from sitting in a lab all day, and this isn’t knowledge other service providers can offer. Our team is what makes us a leader.
