Belz Architecture and Construction Services Offer Comprehensive Construction Solutions When a company is building or leasing a new location, the process often takes on a life of its own as the number of consulting organizations involved quickly multiplies. The project can go over in time and budget quickly without a firm handle on the dynamics and impact that site selection experts, economic development groups, local chambers of commerce and others have on a development project. That doesn’t even take the building or renovations into account, which can include contractors, architects, interior designers, city inspectors and others. Belz Architecture and Construction Services can help its clients handle the entire selection and development process – from site selection to leasing or purchasing land, to the renovation of an existing facility, to building state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities, offices or warehouse space. “There is an advantage to having a seamless transition from site selection into facility selection to the design, space planning, and construction phase,” said Andrew J. Groveman, senior vice president, Belz. “Belz Architecture and Construction Services prides itself on being a one-stop, fully-vertical-service, real estate developer. We can assist and add value from concept through construction, all under one roof.” Perhaps most valuable is the fact that Belz Architecture and Construction Services ensures that the same people who begin working on a project will be the ones seeing it through to fruition.“You won’t lose expertise that may impact construction when you work with us,” said Groveman. “We think it’s important to have a consistent team throughout the selection and construction process. Belz Architecture and Construction Services is able to connect the site selection process, architectural design and construction into one seamless relationship.” Having Belz Architecture and Construction Services manage the entire process also decreases the transition time between site selection and construction.“Whether you’re building on undeveloped land or leasing office space, time is money,” said Jack Bearden, managing director of architecture and construction at Belz. “In either case, it’s important to make sure the property meets your needs and construction is completed as quickly as possible.” According to Bearden, Belz Architecture and Construction Services’ communication between departments is what makes the company so successful. “We have learned many lessons over the years as to the best ways to design and construct a new building or space, and we utilize that experience everyday to deliver a high-quality product of which everyone can be proud,” Bearden explained. One shining example is Belz Architecture and Construction Services’ relationship with High Tech Institutes, an award-winning family of schools offering real world career training through degrees in technology, health care and criminal justice. Belz helped the company to expand and relocate in several cities across the country. High Tech Institutes was seeking existing office space to accommodate classrooms, training equipment, faculty offices and other academic functions. “We performed site evaluations for them because they had very specific technical requirements,” says Bearden. “Then we did the design and construction, building out the interiors to their specifications.” Belz Architecture and Construction Services recently completed a “green” construction for High Tech Institutes in Arlington, Virginia and is currently working on projects for the company across the country. A new trend in construction, building "green" means meeting environmental standards at all levels of construction. High Tech Institutes continues to look to them for efficient and consistent architecture and construction work. Belz Architecture and Construction Services can take a company from the spark of an idea to the finished product, while keeping on time and on budget.
