Building information modeling (BIM) produces a virtual representation of a facility and can incorporate any attribute, whether it’s physical, geometric, geographic, thermodynamic, aerodynamic or acoustic.

The result is a tool that generates a complete prototype of the built environment prior to construction.

Faithful+Gould is leading the effort to integrate and apply building information modeling technology for program management, estimating and scheduling on capital projects at John Wayne Airport.

We are also currently involved with four other building information modeling projects.

Faithful+Gould works seamlessly, in an expert role, within client project teams to provide accurate and timely cost estimates. The independent, objective, professional estimates and validations we provide lead to improved cost effectiveness and also offer an informal review of project documents for conflicts and constructability.

Our service establishes realistic expectations for the project, provides an accurate basis for option evaluation, improves cost-efficiency and promotes effective project management.

At Faithful+Gould we have the expertise, tools and resources needed to tackle the challenge, however simple or complex it may be. When clients appoint us, they benefit directly from our experience in preparing thousands of cost estimates and market surveys for clients around the world.

Our service ensures that all components of a project with cost impacts are considered in providing a holistic assessment of project status with an emphasis on forecasting. We provide accurate and timely information to afford effective decision making and seek opportunities to mitigate risk, and we optimize return on investment by balancing cost, schedule and quality parameters.

Proper planning and scheduling from the beginning of any project is the key to meeting expectations and objectives. Faithful+Gould has developed robust systems to ensure planning is carried out methodically and with due regard to potential constraints, risks and barriers to progress.

We offer a full life-cycle planning and scheduling service for projects or can provide services on a consultancy basis. Our services establishes project parameters, improve scheduling efficiency, align with resources and budget and can stand alone or as part of fully integrated services.

The coordination and control of the cost and schedule functions of the project are to provide accurate data and forecasting in order to facilitate best in class project management.

We control and manage changes and identify possible impacts, maintain oversight of all project activities that affect cost and schedule with “live reporting” against project parameters. Our services support project management decision making, integrate financial and project accounting systems to ensure effective and accurate data, and provide regular status reports on performance including earned value analysis.

Strategic facility consulting is comprised of the following customizable elements: Condition assessments, Energy and environmental analysis, Security and compliance audits, Life cycle capital planning, Sustainability consulting. Strategic facility consulting provides a comprehensive framework that allows organizations to benchmark accountability and sustainability while managing their operational goals.

We manage the process and, in collaboration with your project and program teams, recommend the best route to reduce risk and develop a capital plan that progresses performance goals and improves overall investment and management.

We advise on the costs and benefits of sustainable design, and can help you reach your sustainability and high performance building goals.

Designers need to stay focused on excellent design; contractors execute that vision safely. We protect the owner's interests by providing an objective, unbiased view of the sustainability initiatives that will bring value to each project. Sustainability is an extension of our own ISO certified environmental management plan, and is integrated into all of the services we provide.
