Design Assist

Early collaboration that streamlines design, controls cost, and improves constructability.

For more than 20 years, McKamish has provided design-assist and preconstruction services that add value from day one. Our early involvement aligns owners, designers, and builders, streamlines decision-making, and keeps cost, schedule, and constructability on track. With in-house engineers and real-time estimating, we help teams identify prefabrication opportunities, plan procurement, and deliver smarter, more efficient projects.

Key Benefits

  • Integrated Team Collaboration — aligns owners, designers, and builders early in the process
  • Lean Construction — identifies prefabrication and modular opportunities upfront
  • Target Value Design — guides design decisions to meet defined budgets
  • Proactive Value Engineering — improves efficiency before construction documents are finalized
  • Real-Time Estimating — keeps costs aligned with design throughout preconstruction
  • Early Equipment Procurement — helps maintain construction schedules

Our in-house professional engineers work closely with the engineer of record to ensure all systems are coordinated, constructible, and maintainable, on time and within budget. The McKamish design-assist approach combines technical insight with hands-on experience to deliver predictable results and better outcomes for every stakeholder.
