BALANCE CAPITAL AND OPERATING COSTS WITH A PLANNING PARTNER
Austin develops solutions that are more than structures; the facilities are an active part of a client’s business. We recognize that the efficiency of an operation is dependent upon more than the equipment and processes. It is also dependent on how the building operates for that equipment. We develop and plan from the inside out, with a comprehensive understanding of the equipment, process, and personnel requirements.
Our team brings the right expertise and experience to every project, working through concepts and materials to find a solution: an optimal balance between capital costs and operating costs.
With every project, no matter how complex or challenging, our team is committed to completing the planning phase efficiently, aiming to minimize the business owner’s time and money. Each step—from initial discussions about requirements, equipment, and processes, to facility concepts, layouts, and materials—allows us to ensure the structure is as it was envisioned. Our preliminary estimates are typically within 5% of the final costs, allowing you to make decisions and confidently set a project budget.
FINANCING THAT ALLOWS YOU TO FOCUS ON GROWTH
While your Austin team is seeking answers to technical questions, we will also ask how the project will be financed. We recognize that some of our clients may be interested in third-party financing.
Austin is well-known for its integrated approach that includes design, engineering, and construction of complex facilities across North America. Our solutions also include providing clients with access to third-party financing through companies affiliated with The Austin Company. In a collaborative environment, we strive to achieve the optimal solution.
At times, the best way to achieve that solution is with creative financing that allows our clients to focus their capital on growth investments, not on bricks and mortar. It adds to the benefits of working with Austin – to provide clients with access to off-balance sheet financing, construction completion guarantees, and possibly tax incentives and grants for investment in communities.
