DESIGN DEVELOPMENT
During design development, Heintges & Associates works as an integral part of the design team to develop the final design details and specification of the enclosure. Our staff provides detailed analysis to confirm the constructability, performance, and cost-effectiveness of all aspects of the enclosure design, including structural, thermal, daylighting and code conformance as well as building tolerances and movements. Specific issues may include glare control, condensation mitigation, and accommodation of building maintenance equipment. Especially for complex designs, innovative solutions at this stage are often necessary to insure constructability and cost-effectiveness. Our services could include the following:
