HDK’s Role in the Projects:  

While some projects follow a more traditional design process, many projects for SJR are of an urgent nature. HDK acts as an “on call” Prime Consultant as projects will often relate to equipment failures for critical systems at the school. These often turn into full-scale design and renovation projects with objectives of upgrading or replacing aging or failed equipment. and compressed timelines for completion. HDK has built a reputation for prompt service with SJR facility staff who have come to rely on the firm’s ability to scale up and down resources based on their stated requirements. When called upon by SJR, HDK promptly attends an on-site meeting (with required disciplines present) to assess/define the project requirements. Shortly there after, Class C costing drawings are produced in conjunction with SJR’s preferred contractors.  If project values are high enough, HDK assists SJR with tendering out the project work once IFC drawings are complete.  During construction, HDK is actively involved and working side by side with SJR and contractor to facilitate a successful project.
