Focus

A well-known industry leader in the adoption and application of advanced technologies, Ghafari recognizes the value of synchronizing data and work flows across supply chain partners. Ghafari’s “focus” on continually improving project delivery incorporates not only architecture and engineering services, but building information modeling (BIM), lean practices and sustainability as well. Ghafari’s full-service capabilities enable the firm to provide design solutions that improve the quality and sustainability of a project while reducing schedule and cost.

Ghafari’s technology-driven approach facilitates communication and encourages collaboration between owners, designers, contractors, subcontractors, and consultants. Ghafari pioneered Direct Digital Exchange with steel fabricators to accelerate steel mill orders, and use laser scanning to improve delivery schedules and preserve historic details.

Built on a foundation of lean thinking, 3D BIM prowess and sustainable practices, Ghafari’s projects have been recognized by the American Institute of Architects, Construction Owners Association of America, Construction Users Roundtable (CURT), Design-Build Institute of America, Engineering News-Record and FIATECH, and are the subject of several case studies.

Ghafari-led successes have prompted several Fortune 100 companies to engage its Virtual Design & Construction Consulting Group to help BIM and lean practices enable their project delivery strategies across increasingly integrated teams.
