Solve

The Solve phase is where plans take shape. Building on the insights and strategies developed in the Discover and Plan phases, this step ensures your building envelope projects progress with precision. Key activities in the Solve phase include:

  • Vendor Sourcing — Identify and engage qualified vendors who can deliver the expertise and quality required for your project.
  • Cost Estimating — Establish accurate, cost-effective solutions to keep your project on schedule and within budget.
  • Bid Management — Facilitate the bidding process, compare proposals, and assist in selecting the best fit for your project’s goals.
  • Design Solutions — Collaborate with stakeholders to create tailored designs that address specific remediation and improvement goals.
  • Specification Writing — Develop comprehensive documentation that defines the scope of work, required materials, performance standards and installation methods.

The Solve phase is also the ideal point to incorporate Building Enclosure Commissioning (BECx). BECx ensures your building envelope projects meet or exceed performance standards from the ground up, helping to reduce long-term expenditure.

The Solve phase brings plans to life, providing a roadmap for precise execution.
