Outdoor Dining and Sunshine
Cha Cha Coconuts is a St Armand’s staple and Holliday Group was instrumental in their construction. Allowing for an indoor/outdoor flow with lots of natural light, this St Armand’s Gem is a great family spot, and is pet friendly!
The Challenge
Complex permitting and compliance requirements for energy efficiency, fire protection, and accessibility can delay approvals and increase costs.
The Strategy
- Early Collaboration: Engage local building officials, architects, and engineers early in the design phase to preempt regulatory issues.
- BIM (Building Information Modeling): Use BIM to simulate code compliance, identify conflicts (e.g., HVAC vs. sprinkler layouts), and streamline design reviews.
Dedicated Compliance Manager: Assign a team member to track permit timelines, inspection milestones, and documentation for accountability.
