Because of our unique experience, we provide you a consistently high level of coordination and accountability. We are also frequently in the field to ensure that our work is constructed properly and in accordance with our contract documents, ultimately making for a smooth certificate of occupancy.

AutoCAD Drafting Tools

We utilize AutoCAD drafting software to realize our ideas with maximum speed, power, and efficiency. As a powerful device for Quality Control, we have developed in-house CAD standards for each of our disciplines to ensure that our documents are properly coordinated and that industry standards are maintained. AutoCAD also provides clash detection between disciplines to avoid potentially costly interferences in the field.

Our finished drawings can also be used as a powerful estimating tool because when used in conjunction with our project specifications, they allow each disciple to produce a compete bill of materials.

Master Specifications

Much of the Aspen Design Group's benefits realized by our clients come from our use of Master Specifications. They are among the most comprehensive and up-to-date in the building industry. Our specifications are in a constant state of update in an effort to remain current with ever-changing technologies, as well as to minimize errors and omissions. This enables us to accelerate your specification writing with unsurpassed accuracy and integrity.

Diversification

Diversification is a quality considered both supreme and envied. Because our team members are diversified, we have worked in several states throughout the country including Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Iowa, Idaho, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Maryland, Maine, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Vermont, and Wisconsin.
