also captures the overall quality of construction that the city and fire authority expects The time and effort spent on developing a realistic budget will pay dividends as the project moves forward info design We will work from a milestone design schedule At the first milestone, our design team can develop a very useful tool — a cost model This tool is nothing more than a baseline estimate broken down by building systems It is then used as a measuring stick for subsequent design decisions and estimates With this powerlul tool, out design team can prioritize design decisions Decisions will be acknowledged through meeting minutes, space planning sheets and schematic design drawings and form the foundation for subsequent construction document eflorts Value engineering, if needed, will be based on items that minimally affect the scope, aesthetics, or function of the facility POUDRE FIRE AUTHORITY ARCHITECTURAL & ENGINEERING S E R V I C E S Belford Watkins Group LLC SECTION
