Differentiators:
1. Design-Led Construction Management
ACHLAB eliminates the disconnect between designer and builder by leading every project from concept through completion.
Two entities performing as one manging design, cost, and schedule.
Seamless transition from BIM model to field execution.
Clear communication that reduces change orders.
2. Digital Twin & Visualization
Every project begins as a fully coordinated BIM model, creating a “digital twin” before any construction begins.
Clients experience the project in 3D, AR, and VR before breaking ground.
Real-time cost tracking through RSMeans and Uniformat II integration.
3D-printed scale models and drone mapping bring spatial clarity to every decision.
3. Value Engineering
We design with construction in mind.
Early cost modeling informs design decisions that maintain aesthetic and budget alignment.
Specification control ensures quality without unnecessary expense.
Construction sequencing and material selection guided by real-world field experience.
