Design

At Doucette Construction Company, LLC (DCC), we provide a wide array of technical solutions for mission critical projects from design through construction with complete project management solutions, based on one key attribute: A focus on what we do best. It's a simple concept but one taken to heart. By sticking to what we know and do best - technically complex, sustainable projects - we help our customers build great things.

As more business enterprises, owners, carriers and general contractors seek guidance to solve in-building coverage problems they naturally turn to the ACE (Architectural, Consultant and Engineers) community for help. Unfortunately, many ACE firms lack DAS expertise, and navigating the dynamic DAS environment to deliver designs or specifications without this expertise can be challenging at best.

At Doucette Construction Company, LLC we developed an in-house team of professionals to fill this gap. We understand the critical nature of communication. Our teams of experienced, skilled designers, engineers, technicians, project managers and construction personnel work hand in hand with our clients to deliver the right solution, on time and on budget.

Our highly motivated team of professionals has vast experience in all construction, design and engineering disciplines, enabling us to handle any project with confidence as well as look beyond the obvious for innovative design and construction solutions. The best team is assembled to suit each individual project, including specialist consultants as required. DCC professionals offer a sound knowledge of detailed programming, fast tracking, project management, industrial relations, building pragmatism and cost control.

Project Management

DCC has experience in wireless deployments and build-outs, providing the technical operations personnel, design team, construction managers and project managers needed to complete various types of installations. We have experience on In-Building and Outdoor DAS projects of varying size and complexity in numerous venues, such as Arenas, Educational, Hospitality and Gaming, Hospitals and Clinics, Manufacturing and Stadiums.

Our personnel understand the sensitivity of working in operational environments and the importance of not disturbing production and operations. Special emphasis is placed on learning the particulars of each building environment in which we work and properly coordinating with the building and facilities management for the smoothest and safest installation possible.

Installation Solutions for DAS Projects

The installation for these special projects requires technical expertise, skilled personnel and attention to detail. It is crucial that the client's ongoing business operations are not impacted during the install project. DCC excels in minimizing disruption and leaving the work area clean.

Whether your installation for calls for in-building or outdoor systems, we have the skills and experience to do the project right.

Generator Installation, Maintenance and Management

DCC can provide generator installation, service and maintenance anywhere. We have certified Generator Maintenance Technicians and the knowledge to troubleshoot, service and maintain your on-site or mobile generators. We also support any generator deployment needed. Generator delivery and fueling can be done anywhere within hours.

Storm Deployment and Management

We can provide "on-site" operations management for generator deployment, tracking, fueling and maintenance programs during storm deployments.

Preconstruction

Before any hardhats go on, we use our heads to help owners plan and shape all aspects of their projects. Our preconstruction services include:

Value Analysis - In a business where every dollar counts, our extensive track record and detailed knowledge can help you determine the best, most efficient way to approach a project.
Conceptual Budgeting - Before you prepare a formal bid request, we can help you explore several budgeting options - each with a highly accurate estimate - to help you decide the best use of your investment.
Site Utilization Analysis - Site utilization helps visualize and plan for project site's equipment locations and movement, material handling and staging, utilities and other essential requirements.
Constructability Reviews - Can your project be built on time and within budget without compromising function or quality? We can assess your plans and let you know.
Preconstruction Scheduling - We identify every possible participant's role in the process, including long lead delivery items.
Building Systems Analysis - In this phase, we assess the project plans in order to help determine the appropriate mechanical, plumbing and electrical systems and estimate building energy use - another way to save money before construction begins.
Permitting - We understand and can fully handle the complex requirements and processes involved with submitting for and obtaining permits for your project construction.

Design-Build

As an alternative to supplying owners with a construction estimate based upon drawings and specifications, DCC offers design-build services. By working with either our in-house design team or your selected design team from the design phase of a project to its construction, we help assure that the costs of the project stay within your project - and that the integrity of the design and the project is still maintained through a close working relationship with the designer.

Additional advantages of a design-build approach may include:

Single point of contact - With one source of accountability, owners won't have to act as an intermediary between the contractor and the designer.
Better communication - With "design" and "build" professionals on the same team, potential problems can be uncovered sooner and communication among all parties is enhanced.
Shorter schedules - Because you start without lengthy formal bid process and combine your contractor and design team, time efficiencies can be realized.
Quality Control - A unified team removes ambiguities about materials, specs. and intent, leaving the contractor and designer focused on delivering the client's exact vision.

Building Information Modeling (BIM)

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is the next big thing in the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry and it is already causing a paradigm shift in the way we do business. Using the virtual design and construction (VDC) capability of the technology, we simulate the project implementation to ensure the time and cost efficient path of project execution. DCC is prepared and experienced in leveraging the power of this digital edge in the industry to deliver your next project optimally.

Coming in April 2014, DCC will begin using a 3D camera/scanner for project development with the BIM and VDC process to provide more accurate drawings, quicker and more efficiently.

Construction

Construction is where the rubber meets the road - and where the value of DCC's preconstruction services really comes through. Our construction services include:

Construction - Our success is a direct reflection of our ability to coordinate and orchestrate the best, most talented management, subcontractors and field supervisors to bring your project to life.
Safety - Our rigorous approach to Safety includes ongoing training and strictly enforced workplace policies - right down to the hardhat on every head.
Quality Control - We're fanatical about maintaining project checklists to ensure that outcomes always meet or exceed owner and design team expectations.
Scheduling - We depend on weekly site meetings and short-term (two-week look ahead) scheduling to monitor and control each specific aspect of a project, and we communicate regularly with all project participants through our online PM system.
Budget Management - Whether your project is $5,000 or $100 million, we want to ensure the full value of your investment - and we do it through proactive planning, supervision and payment control.
