COST ESTIMATING JLG’s in-house cost estimating and constructability team has averaged 1.4% under budget on thousands of projects since 1989. JLG’s estimators provide clear and defined estimates informed by real-time market breakdowns of costs at multiple checkpoints throughout the design process. They also make recommendations for where to focus funds for best design impact and where costs could be minimized without a dramatic modification to the design intent. Also, JLG’s estimators scrutinize possible change orders; they collaborate closely with engineers, construction managers, and other consultants to mitigate any surprises in the field.

We create solutions that meet clients’ goals while lowering total cost of ownership and designing flexible, resilient buildings that inspire and elevate people, make their lives better, and last well into the next generation.

SAFETY AND SECURITY DESIGN The JLG Healthcare studio is adept at understanding how design can influence the safety and security of our healing environments. Physical space can either enhance or discourage safe, inclusive behavior. We aspire to promote accountability, visibility, and protection in our designs that do not hinder the patients. JLG incorporates best practices for safe and secure design that can be collaboratively blended with your system’s operational safety plans. We are available to conduct on-site staff training in addition to our security design audits that we conduct during the planning process.
