Project Criteria & Programming
Undoubtedly the most critical part of the entire project delivery process is defining the initial scope of the project. Understanding the requirements of senior living and senior care facilities and the individual characteristics of the local site are essential parts of a successful development. During this part of our Project Approach we will provide or review the following information:

Confirm regulatory requirements for:

Building codes & ordinances
Utility districts & service availability
Subdivision standards and restrictive covenants
Traffic & highway requirements
Deed restrictions & easements

Review market research data for:

Demographic census data
Completing facility analysis
Income and rent information

Review and establish project financial goals, development parameters & mission

Optimum Design Solution
Based upon the information obtained in the project criteria & programming phase of our Project Approach we will develop an optimum design solution for the entire project including future development phases. The following documents will be prepared for your review and approval:

Land Use and Master Plan
Building Floor Plans
Exterior Building Elevations
Major Building Design Features
Outline specifications

Early Guaranteed Maximum Price
With your approval of the preliminary design documents, we will prepare a Guaranteed Maximum Price and a project completion schedule including design, engineering and construction. This allows you to proceed with confidence before you have spent large amounts of money for complete design documents.

Firm Contractual Commitment
We will prepare a firm contractual commitment, which you can utilize to confirm your financial proforma. This document will give you a total turn-key guaranteed price for the entire project. This single source of responsibility ensures that your project will be constructed without disputes or cost overruns. This will also allow you to proceed with the design and construction utilizing a fast-track Project Approach commitment.

With preliminary design documents completed, prices guaranteed and firm contractual commitments in place, Altman-Charter is available to assist your development team with the following preconstruction services:
