Catalyst initiates the pre-construction phase for every project with methodical planning and precise evaluation. We work in sync with clients, designers, and architects to craft a customized approach. Catalyst believes every element counts equally, from the scope to the dimensions, to each essential bespoke nuance.
Working closely with our clients allows us to anticipate needs, suggest options and fulfill all requests within the scope of budgetary parameters. We prioritize our clients’ demanding production schedules and engage ESTICOM, the most efficient software for pre-construction, to generate with ease all of our material take-offs and preliminary budgets.
The construction process jump-starts with an interactive scheduling process; our clients’ project goal deadlines are synchronized with our vendors to develop a preliminary schedule.
Catalyst utilizes ProCore, the state-of-the-art construction platform, to unite owners, designers, and vendors in a shared vision. ProCore equips us to ensure each party contributes effectively to achieve a successful outcome in the shortest time possible. Meetings can be held virtually or in person; ProCore enables minutes to be reviewed and edited in real-time, simultaneously, by all project team members.
Catalyst’s team operates collaboratively, engaging a seasoned skill-set acquired through years of varied fieldwork and project management, enabling us to work efficiently and expediently. During the construction phase, we guide our design partners through the drawing development process by applying our research and analysis of notable market trends and current material availability.
We also employ state-of-the-art closeout software to ensure that a permanent record of all project documents and warranties is easily accessible to all facility owners and facility staff members long after a project is completed.
To streamline all phases of design and construction, we offer guidance and assistance in creating a customized project team to assist you in every step of the process. We will provide as much or as little aid as our client requests and always accommodate client needs from step one to completion.
Catalyst operates as a team with designers and architects; our upbeat and collaborative approach has made us a favorite with a wide range of architectural and engineering design firms throughout the state of Connecticut.
