The Project Timeline Analysis.
The Project Timeline Analysis illustrates where InterMat excels. We focus on the early project stages, where decisions have the greatest impact on outcomes and incur the lowest costs. Changes during planning are minimal compared to those in engineering design and significantly less than construction changes. Experience tells us the the best project life cycle begins with sound project planning. A well-vetted layout and equipment selection significantly reduce costs compared to the initial investment in planning services.
