Accelerated Project Delivery™ (APD)

an innovative design process that
integrates structural design with
structural detailing, bringing
projects to market earlier.

What is Accelerated Project Delivery™?

Accelerated Project Delivery™ (APD) is a design process that integrates structural design with steel, concrete, and rebar detailing into a seamless, all-in-one solution. By utilizing a fully coordinated approach, we ensure critical path certainty and minimize risk across all structural components. With design and detailing unified in a single model, we streamline workflows, enhance accuracy, and reduce rework. Unlike traditional processes that rely on external coordination among structural partners, our method centralizes data and collaboration for greater efficiency and project success.

Accelerated Project Delivery™ (APD) is a streamlined approach to design build that unifies structural design and detailing, eliminating inefficiencies, preserving critical project knowledge, and accelerating speed to market. With APD, bottlenecks are minimized, allowing projects to move forward without delays. Instead of coordinating between multiple partners at different stages of the structural delivery process, APD consolidates responsibility under one team—from initial design through to finalized shop drawings for structural steel, stairs, concrete and rebar. This approach prevents miscommunication between designers and fabricators, shortens approval timelines, and reduces RFIs, ultimately saving time, lowering costs, and simplifying project execution.

How It Works

Unlike traditional structural design processes, Accelerated Project Delivery™ (APD) is the complete integration of design and detailing for steel, concrete and rebar. Instead of a structural engineer creating a model and set of design drawings to be distributed to multiple trades so they can create models and subsequent shop drawings, we create a single structural model, taking it from analysis to shop drawings. Eliminating the need to coordinate these scopes between multiple design and trade partners.
