        Management

        Project Planning

        We understand your need to deliver your project on time and on budget. Through our involvement with numerous complex, high technology projects we have developed considerable expertise in fast - track and phased projects.

        Relocation Coordination

        Successful moves result from the skillful coordination of the move team and in many cases the staff team. It is the result of thoughtful staff education and management. We assist your team through move tendering, scheduling, providing staff briefings, orientation and move manuals. Our team is also with you during the move.

Your organization is continually evolving and the facility, furniture, equipment and staff are your assets. The design and construction is not the end of the process. It is the beginning.



        Areas of In-Depth Expertise

        Programming

        Our principle has been involved in facility programming of complete corporate and institutional organizations for over 30 years. We have developed a comprehensive approach to defining the organization and its facility requirement that integrates many different programming approaches and methodologies. We have evolved a three stage approach. We integrate operations, staff, furniture, equipment and environment into a comprehensive statement of your organization. This unique system is employed on all our projects.

        Design

        PCG merges creativity with your corporate goals and objectives. We create environments that are more than functional. Our design solutions promote your corporate identity while fostering staff efficiency and enthusiasm.


        Support Systems Planning & Coordination

        From our grounding in planning medical and research facilities where life can depend upon the quality of the environment, we have gained the belief that all support services must be correct and in the right place. The right service in the wrong place or vise versa diminishes the entire facility. We view your facility as a group of inter-related services that support you and your equipment. The Support Systems are divided into five groups. Air Quality & Acoustics // Electrical: // Voice and Data Communications: // Piped Services: // Security. PCG's extensive experience with highly technical organizations combined with close coordination with engineering consultants results in detailed knowledge in these critical areas.

        Our understanding of  architecture and engineering has been combined with experience in planning medical research facilities, computer areas, broadcast facilities and specialized test facilities. From this we have developed in-depth knowledge and an attention to detail that is uncompromising. We believe that all services must be of the correct type, quantity and in the correct location.
