Site Assessment

Assessing existing site conditions, observing mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) construction, and assuring HVAC, plumbing and electrical system operation and performance.

Successful construction projects rely on a continuous and clear understanding of the initial vision. When project plans take a detour, budgets and timelines can implode. At Dialectic, we understand the value – and significance – of thorough, comprehensive site assessments, before, during and after a project. 

We have decades of experience working on a range of projects – from commercial kitchens to school campuses – reviewing mechanical, electrical and plumbing designs to ensure they meet expectations. 

Pre-construction: Our teams assess sites with an eye toward avoiding change orders and rework. 

During construction: We ensure trouble spots are identified early so teams can pivot before issues become costly. 

Post-construction: Our engineers make sure the space works as intended, verifying installation, conducting systems testing and ensuring the space is optimized for function and comfort.

Benefits

At Dialectic, we work differently. Our teams always prioritize partnering and straightforward communication. We have decades of site assessment experience, resulting in:

Cost-effective designs

MEP designs are expensive. We get that. Our site assessments aim to protect your investment by identifying issues early and minimizing change orders.

Swift action

We prioritize clear communication and collaboration. That approach means we act swiftly – in partnership with our clients – to mitigate any potential trouble spots.

Thorough assessment

Our deep experience means we’ve seen a range of sites in every state across the country, allowing us to anticipate issues that may not be on a client’s radar.

Fewer pain points

Every construction project has challenges. It’s the nature of the industry. But our focused, comprehensive site assessments will mitigate risk for our clients.

Success Story: The Capital Grille


JKRP Architects called on Dialectic to solve a plethora of unique challenges as The Capital Grille moved to a new location in Kansas City’s Country Club Plaza district. The 100-year old building previously housed a retail location, requiring significant renovations. The new design featured two kitchens on different levels of the building, bringing another level of complexity to the project. Consistent communication led to proactive planning and quick resolutions to deliver a world-class customer experience.
