Services
Delivery Methods
JH&H and our consultants share the same philosophy of responsible service to the Client. The project team firms have a reputation of being service oriented and responsible to our client’s needs. We feel that this is accomplished by giving more time and attention to our clients and by listening to what they have to say.* Key areas of emphasis for any project include:
BASIC SERVICES
JH&H and our team members provide a full range of professional services which include Architectural Design, Master Planning, Interior Design, Programming, Planning, Civil, Structural, Mechanical and Electrical Engineering. Our team is experienced in providing these services in the different delivery types of Design-Bid, Design-Build and Fast Track Construction throughout the Southeastern United States.
VALUE ENGINEERING
Our project team members have considerable experience with value engineering on numerous projects. We believe each step of the design process should include value engineering of the various building components. Value Engineering provides alternate methods and components to capitalize on budget constraints and achieve a highly functional building at the lowest cost. Including value engineering from the start of the design process eliminates time consuming redesign changes during the construction document phase.
CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION
We are recognized for our thorough construction administration. Detailed concentration on the Construction Administration Phase will assure that our clients get the quality project deserved. Mike Beauchamp, AIA and Rick Williams, CSI, CDT, coordinate JH&H’s construction administration and provide an additional quality control review during the construction period of a project. Mr. Williams’ background as a General Contractor ensures knowledge and understanding of building components and construction management.
COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY
State-of-the-art design and production technology is demanded for today’s complex building needs. All of the project firms operate CADD and Revit systems with compatible software.
During design, the project team can use AutoCAD and Revit as an efficient tools to explore design options and figure out complicated geometries with a high degree of accuracy. Our system will allow us to change and move design elements, such as the building core or configuration, with fast response time for review by the Client and project team. In many instances, the computer technology used in our office can easily explore changes in design and features, which may result in construction cost savings to the owner/owners. The compatibility and technical advantages of our CAD and Revit systems will greatly facilitate coordination, production and management of any project.
DESIGN-BUILD/PARTNERING
We have experienced many design-build projects in which we have provided the design as part of the contractor’s team. We found this to be very efficient on many federal government projects. We have also been part of a partnering process in which we worked together with the contractor as one team but maintained an independent contractual relationship with the owner. We found this to be beneficial to the owner in may religious and church projects.
QUALITY CONTROL
We provide 3 levels of quality control and checking on each project. Project Manager, Review, Project Coordination, Redi Check and Project Review Board which meets weekly. Each project is under the direct supervision of the Project Manager, Project Architect and Production Manager, all of whom oversee the project from beginning to end.
FAST TRACK CONSTRUCTION
The project team member firms all have experience in accelerated and Fast Track schedules. JH&H provides a long-standing relationship with consultants that results in a more effective path of communication to administer Fast Track Construction Projects. Examples of JH&H Fast Track projects include the 150,000 SF South Madison High School / Madison, MS; Merchants & Farmers Bank Operations / Madison, MS; Mediplex Corporate Office Building / Jackson, MS and Sound and Communications Office Facilities.
