In powerhouse cities like Boston and New York City, developers are pushing ahead with bold new projects across a wide variety of sectors—from commercial offices and mixed-use developments to research facilities and advanced manufacturing hubs. Financing is flowing in at a rapid clip, and at SGA, we’re as busy as ever delivering Class-A facilities for a variety of uses.
These are intricate and expensive facilities to build and construct, increasing the importance of a tightly orchestrated approach between all partners. At SGA, our goal is to ensure that the planning and execution is as seamless and efficient as it can be, with excellent organization and alignment for a design-assist approach so projects stay on schedule and on budget.
The SGA Dashboard is the proprietary platform we use to drive our projects from concept to delivery. This easy-to-use, web-based tool is the single source of up-to-date and accurate information for an entire project: from tracking project milestones to surfacing real-time issues, it provides the visibility and coordination teams need to succeed.
“The SGA Dashboard is the key to visibility for teams working together for any type of project. It’s proven extremely valuable for complex builds that involve multiple disciplines, tight timelines, and evolving requirements,” says Michael Schroeder, Partner and Director of Virtual Design and Construction. “It’s how SGA has been able to design and coordinate 4 million square feet of design and VDC projects this year alone, with a full pipeline of new buildings underway and awaiting entitlements.”
Earlier this year, we began introducing the SGA Dashboard to every client, contractor, and sub-contractor in Life Sciences and beyond. We’re thrilled that so many recognize its inherent power to drive new processes.
A selection of the standout features of the SGA Dashboard include:
- Project issues for centralized information
- Clusters for better organization of teams
- A 6-week look-ahead window for a more efficient process
- The design evolution log for reducing change orders
- The risks register for prioritization and awareness
The SGA Dashboard allows us to ensure that every project we are involved in meets and exceeds our clients’ expectations. Its adoption by our partners allows us to elevate and refine the entire design-assist process—helping us deliver more sophisticated, large-scale projects with greater speed and success than ever before.
