Early Design Intervention for Compliance

For developers, compliance issues left unchecked can derail a project. One hotel client discovered this the hard way when their DA-approved drawings were reviewed by ABACORP.

“It quickly became clear that the design didn’t fully align with NCC requirements, particularly fire safety and accessibility,” recalls the ABACORP project lead. “If these gaps had been missed until later, the costs to correct them would have been enormous.”

Instead of letting the issue snowball, ABACORP stepped in before construction began, collaborating with architects and consultants to reconfigure layouts and address compliance gaps. This proactive approach ensured the project met all safety and accessibility regulations upfront, preventing expensive variations and redesigns down the line.

Thanks to this early intervention, the client avoided $450,000 in additional costs and safeguarded their construction program. 

ABACORP’s forward-thinking approach turned a potential setback into a smooth path forward, reinforcing the value of having the right partner from the outset.
