Collaborating Early To Deliver Coordinated, Buildable Architectural Metal Solutions

Macaro partners with architects, engineers, developers, and construction teams during preconstruction to develop architectural metal systems that are coordinated, buildable, and aligned with project requirements. Early collaboration helps identify challenges before they reach fabrication or the jobsite—reducing revisions, improving coordination, and supporting successful project execution.

Why Design Assist Matters

Better Decisions Before Construction Begins

Many field challenges can be traced back to decisions made before fabrication starts. Architectural metal systems must coordinate with building structure, architectural intent, adjacent materials, site conditions, installation sequencing, and overall project schedules. Macaro's Design Assist process helps project teams identify and resolve potential issues early by reviewing:

  • constructability challenges
  • structural coordination requirements
  • installation conditions
  • material selections
  • system details
  • sequencing considerations

By addressing these items during preconstruction, teams can reduce costly revisions and avoid unnecessary field conflicts.

What Macaro Provides During Design Assist

Preconstruction Support That Helps Projects Move Forward

Macaro works alongside project teams to develop solutions that balance architectural goals with practical construction requirements.

Benefit:

Keeps communication clear amongst all involved teams to propel projects forward seamlessly.

Constructability Review

We review design concepts and details to identify potential challenges before fabrication begins.

Benefit:

Helps ensure systems can be efficiently fabricated, delivered, and installed.

Shop Drawing Development & Coordination

We translate approved designs into detailed fabrication documents while coordinating with project requirements.

Benefit:

Provides clarity before production and reduces unexpected changes during construction.

Architectural & Structural Coordination

We collaborate with architects, engineers, and construction teams to align architectural metal systems with surrounding building elements.

Benefit

Creates better integration between systems and minimizes field conflicts.

RFI Support & Project Collaboration

We participate in the communication process needed to resolve questions and maintain project momentum.

Benefit:

Keeps decisions moving and helps prevent delays caused by unanswered coordination issues.

Value Engineering Support

When appropriate, we help evaluate alternative approaches that maintain design intent while improving efficiency or constructability.

Benefit:

Allows teams to make informed decisions before fabrication begins.

The Value of Early Collaboration

Reduce Risk Before It Reaches the Jobsite

Engaging Macaro early provides project teams with:

  • fewer design revisions
  • improved fabrication accuracy
  • clearer installation planning
  • better coordination between trades
  • greater confidence moving into construction

The earlier potential issues are identified, the easier they are to solve.

When Macaro Typically Becomes Involved

Design Assist can begin at several stages of a commercial project:

01

Early Design Phase

Supporting architects and owners as concepts are developed.

02

Preconstruction

Reviewing drawings, details, materials, and installation requirements.

03

Competitive Bid

Providing input based on project documents and construction requirements.

04

Post-Award Coordination

Supporting final detailing, engineering, submittals, and fabrication preparation.

Regardless of when Macaro joins the project, the goal remains the same:

Create a coordinated path from design intent to successful installation.

Reduce Risk Before It Reaches the Jobsite

Macaro provides Design Assist support for:

Multifamily Developments

Mixed-Use Projects

Commercial Construction
