How can MPS bring better value with systems such as custom designed curtain walls from the architect? How is this cost modeled?
Curtain walls are a really good example of how the Model Progression Specification can facilitate a project estimate because oftentimes today the construction manager is going out and hiring a specialty sub early to consult on the curtain wall and it’s critical that they be able to match up the design intent of the curtain wall from the architect to their specific engineering design. The MPS details what they will get from the architect as far as geometry and location goes and what level of detail it will be at. It also then tells the subcontractor hired to put the detail in what specifically they are required to put into the model itself. And then finally the construction manager that needs to price this correctly knows what he is getting and probably more importantly when he is getting it in order to put the pricing together.
