Economic Inclusion

KBR strives to provide opportunities for minority, women and local owned businesses on every project, and we strive to exceed our client’s inclusion goals on every project. Every project team is empowered to create unique and innovative programs to enhance your purchasing initiatives. Our staff’s involvement in local, community and regional trade and diversity associations aids us in achieving your goals.

Building Information Modeling

KBR employs Building Information Modeling (BIM) to advance traditional two-dimensional design into a collaborative, comprehensive model providing team members with layers of information to aid in the design and construction process. BIM aids collaboration with our clients, architectural partners and major subcontractors by providing enhanced visualization and a greater understanding of building flow and operations. As a result, BIM enhances our ability to contain costs, accelerate schedule, and ensure quality throughout the design and construction process.

Constructability

Throughout the preconstruction process, we always take into account constructability of all the building elements, and we work directly with the design team to perform constructability reviews. Our staff has unique knowledge of building that only comes from hands-on experience. Because Danis is a builder as well as a manager, we know the most efficient means and methods to build your project.

Cost Certainty

KBR understands that delivering a project within budget is one of the keys to its success. Danis’ seasoned estimating and project management staff will ensure that you have the project-specific cost information, reviews and recommendations needed to thoughtfully evaluate design options while maximizing your budget. As a result, our cost certainty program provides a total cost model that has proven to deliver 96% of our projects 1%-3% below our initial cost estimate.

Design Assist

The Design Assist approach produces a “best value designed” building with lower life-cycle costs and a sensible payback period. Collaboration with all team members begins during the conceptual phase and continues throughout design, construction and commissioning.

Energy Analysis

We are constantly striving to provide our clients with the most comprehensive information available to make informed decisions about their investments. In the evaluation of systems and strategies, energy modeling allows us to take our standard value analysis a step further by incorporating information on energy savings over time.
