Involving Johnson Controls from the concept through design phases means informed, data-driven decisions are made earlier in the construction process, ensuring energy, technology, and operational objectives are met.

Our Design Assist process provides a team of construction and technology experts right from the start. We work with the owner’s cross functional staff, design team, construction manager, and general contractor to uncover priorities and maximize every dollar spent. This team provides expertise for all phases of technology evaluation, recommendation, budgetary development, and constructability evaluation, driven by the goal that the ultimate function of a building should determine how it’s built. Our proven early-engagement Design Assist services bridge the technology gaps that exist in the traditional planning, design, and construction process to help meet your technology needs.
