Total Project Management (TPM):
Definition: The Owner enters into a contractual agreement with a TPM Team which acts as a single, cohesive entity providing both design and construction services to the Owner. The TPM Team works closely with the Owner from early project development, design, scheduling, cost estimating, bidding, construction to project closeout.
Advantages: In the TPM Delivery Scheme, should a question/problem/alternative arise during project delivery, there are only two groups which are involved in its resolution, the Owner and the TPM Team. This close working relationship, early involvement and continuous feedback at each phase during project delivery means a higher level of project quality and reduced time to project closeout can be achieved.
TPM maintains competitive project costs by bidding out portions of the work to qualified subcontractors and typically contracting with the lowest responsible subcontractor.

Definition: The Owner enters into a contractual agreement with a professionally licensed Architectural/Engineering Firm providing design services for the Owner. Following the selection of a General or Multiple Prime Contractor, the Owner enters into contractual agreement with the Contractor to provide construction services based on the documents prepared by the Architectural/Engineering Firm.
Advantages: The traditional Design-Bid-Build Delivery Scheme provides the Owner with competitive construction costs through the Owner's selection of the lowest responsible General or Multiple Prime Contractor.

Scheid Architectural has provided extensive ADA Compliance studies/design services for major Industrial and Commercial clients. An ADA Compliance Study involves documentation of existing conditions. This allows us to identify areas that do not comply with the most up to date accessibility guidelines. Then we can make recommendations of corrections in the form of schematic design. This type of study can then serve as a guideline for a facility in its ongoing need to comply with the law.

Existing Conditions Surveys This initial phase of a Weatherization project is the most critical, as it is here we determine the cause of the current problems.
Masonry Rehabilitation The root of the many masonry problems is the roof flashing detail and original wall design. The deterioration of the roof allows water to migrate into the wall and the lack of proper thru-wall flashing and weeps increase the severity of the flashing failure.

This initial phase of a roofing/re-roofing project is the most critical, as it is here we determine the cause of the current roof problems. Replacement of a roof without understanding the cause of the failure usually results in poor roof design.
Drawings and Specifications The drawings and specifications form the substance of the roofing work. They convey to the contractor information required to complete the re-roofing project in a timely and cost effective way while providing the owner/occupant with a high performance roofing system.
Bidding and Construction Phase Public bidding to qualified roofing contractors is smooth and simple due to attention to detail during the document phase. During construction and beyond, we stay involved with your roof. Site visits are required on all roofing projects to assure compliance with the design.

Facilities management and strategic facility planning ensure that facilities are appropriately planned to meet present needs as well as the changing requirements of building users over time.
Facilities Management: Understanding your present needs and immediate goals Understanding how a facility, it's occupants and it's equipment operate are essential to discovering problematic areas and sources of inefficiency and potential areas for improvement. Once a thorough working knowledge is established, we utilize this foundation along with our experience in spacial planning, plant and department layout, to achieve an ideal end result. We accomplish this through preliminary site investigations and in-depth discussions with the owner. A scope of work can then be formulated with associated net investment value calculations to assure a positive return.
Strategic Planning: Anticipating future needs and long term goals All present interventions need to be carefully considered in terms of future needs and long term goals of the facility in order to be successful and to continuously improve the facility's overall operation. Facilities management is a dynamic relationship between the design professional and owner with the potential to increase efficiency and provide significant cost savings to the owner. It is an ongoing process where each move is weighed against present and future requirements and their impact on each other. Responsive, well designed placement and facilities can help maintain a sustained competitive advantage for your business.
