Design and Drafting

Our Drafting and Design Department combines artistic ability with the engineering required to assemble the building on paper. Our firm enjoys working closely with our clients to discover their wishes, desires, wants and needs.

The Design/Build Experience

Architecture is developing a piece of three-dimensional sculpture that is inhabited for a specific function. There are many senses that are touched as one experiences the architecture. The visual impact is observed in the creation of the spaces into volumes which are reflected through the exterior façade. In other words, to quote notable American Architect Louis Sullivan, "form follows function."

We enjoy fulfilling dreams for others. We do more than just traditional styles. At John Cannon Construction, we'll assist you in finding the best solution and then provide an overall, unifying conclusion that flows throughout the architecture, site and surrounding environment.

We start by developing a program of priorities regarding costs; conditions that cannot be changed, but can be managed (such as site conditions and building size requirements); and all of the specific issues important to the client. At this point, we mold the architecture. We look at spatial relationships of functions and how they interrelate with one another. As the architectural process develops, sketches are created to explain the priorities in the drawing format. After a preliminary site plan and floor plan have been established, interior volumes are evaluated and developed. At this point in the preliminary design process, we step back to review our work with our client. There must be mutual agreement that this is the right direction prior to proceeding to more detailed project elements.

The development of the systems and details create the construction documents, which are then ready for construction. Throughout this process, we manage adherence to the construction documents as the general contractor and visiting the job site at critical stages.

Bid Process (Estimating) and Construction

The bid process defines and establishes the final budget for the project. During this process the John Cannon Team works constantly with the client to insure the project as designed meets the financial and scheduling goals set at the onset of the project. Many items may change during this process, through the value engineering offered by our subcontractor base, or due to specific availability of material at the time of construction. It is not until the bid process is complete that the construction documents can be considered complete, items may be added or deleted to obtain the desired budget and time-frame acceptable to the client.

Construction and Interior Finishes

Construction takes the detailed direction provided by architecture through construction documents and makes the project come to life. When the interior finishes begin the design of the interior begins, to speak. The interaction of colors and textures, once only visualized through small samples, now takes on the personality of the organization.

Reliability

While often promised, it seems reliability is rarely delivered. We achieve reliability by carefully tracking the construction schedule and costs. Weekly project meetings and interaction with the architect and pertinent subcontractors help maintain progress. At every stage of the building process, whether it be the design, drawings development, permitting or construction, you will have first-hand knowledge of the status of your project. From your initial meeting with John Cannon Construction, through the issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy and your immediate move in, you will have one representative that will be your point of contact.

Throughout the construction process the client is actively involved and apprised of what is happening on the project on a weekly basis. And even though construction has the lead at this point, architecture still plays an active role in reviewing progress and answering questions. Once the project is completed, the customer will receive a complete set of operating and maintenance manuals relating to equipment and building systems to properly maintain those items for years to come.

Our diverse construction team has the ability to provide expertise on a number of project types. All of our team members are encouraged to attend seminars and classes to further their knowledge and expertise in the commercial construction field. The combination of their knowledge and experience merges to make our team the leaders in the commercial building arena. They take their job seriously in providing you a quality project in the time frame needed and within the established budget constraints.

We take pride in delivering the project on schedule, on budget and of the highest quality.

Interior Design

Interior Design Team The interior design of your building or offices is a follow-through of the exterior design. The actual tactile and visual elements in the space are achieved through textures, colors, and patterns which bring to life the entire sculpture. This is the finale to the great care and attention that has been culminated throughout this entire process. All of the interior designers at John Cannon Construction hold degrees in Interior Design and will work with you throughout your interior design process. They will keep you informed of all the current trends and cost savings when choosing light fixtures, wall and floor coverings, signage and more. Enthusiasm and anticipation grows for those who will soon be located in the new space or building. And when the moving vans are gone and the boxes unpacked, your employees will have a genuine sense of pride in sharing their new environment.

Financing

John Cannon Construction can offer many options as to the financial aspect of your project. Whether it be a lump-sum bid, cost-plus, or if you need help financing your project, we can help you in any of these areas by utilizing our longstanding relationships with local lenders, or perhaps in-house.
