engineering, design, and construction services include

DESIGN/BUILD.
AVANT provides design/build and construction management
services for our industrial clients.
These project-delivery methods have evolved to
address
our clients’ desire
for fast-track delivery, fewer construction disputes,
cost control, and alternative management methods
for construction
projects. The design/build process benefits our
clients by reducing the typical burdens and liabilities
associated
with implementing capital improvements - system
design, contracting for installation, and coordinating
multiple
contractors, consultants, vendors, and suppliers.
In effect, design/build provides our clients with
single-source
accountability
for projects, while AVANT acts as an objective
third party to protect our client's interests.
ENGINEERING.

By leading design/build projects as the engineer/construction
manager/general contractor, we have developed excellent
estimating skills that focus on construction details.
Attention to detail and understanding manufacturing
operations
enable
us to implement complex construction projects with
minimal interruption of plant production.
