Integrated Development

Introduction

The TSR Group is revolutionizing the way project design, workflow and coordination occurs. Through our Integrated Development ServicesTM, The TSR Group offers a way to truly integrate project information from disciplinary professionals and stakeholders who participate in bringing a project to completion. The TSR Group has developed a centralized project information system that manages all vital information for your project. All information (including accounting, scheduling and design information) pertinent to a project is securely stored in a database and may be hosted on a website or delivered on cd-rom. The system greatly reduces the need for costly meetings or charettes that traditionally bring together teams of professionals to share information. By utilizing our Integrated Development Services TM, you will improve the flow of project communication, increase the quality of design and likely reduce the cost of your project.

Project Start Up- Data Inventory

The TSR Group provides a completely integrated approach to managing project data because of our experience working in the public sector creating, designing and maintaining spatial databases for Federal, State and Local agencies and our expertise in the newly emerging geo-technologies and digital design fields. The process produces The TSR Group's patented Geographic Design LibraryTM (GDL), truly a new and unique method for managing project information. Click here for information regarding the GDL.

The Internet

The TSR Group's Integrated Development ServicesTM includes Internet access to project information through a common web browser. By organizing your project data using The TSR Group's Geographic Design LibraryTM (GDL), we can provide the following two internet deployment services or a completely customized solution to meet your individual project needs.

Internet Project Management

The full power of the Internet is available to your project while using The TSR's Group Integrated Development ServicesTM. Other design and construction project management web sites act as an online file system that you must organize. The TSR Group's new approach creates a site where actual project data is visually and interactively displayed, allowing project teams to interact with project information at any time. The TSR Group can secure access to different layers of information and special project management areas at your discretion. The TSR Group does not advocate completing projects without face to face meetings, however there is considerable savings in travel and meeting costs when the information is readily available to all parties at their convenience. IDS benefits all project stakeholders including: partners, investors, agency personnel, construction managers, and the public.

Internet Project Sales

The Geographic Design LibraryTM can be used to sell or market your project on the Internet in addition to facilitating the design and construction of your project. The TSR Group transforms the information in the GDL into an engaging visual presentation and combines it with interactivity on the Internet to create a powerful sales tool. A potential buyer can move around an interactive map, select lots, retail pads or commercial footage and receive information including area, price and other details about the project. The web site may include 360 degree panoramas and aerial photo information to provide a factual basis for customer decisions. Additionally, a potential buyer may submit loan pre-qualification information to a project sales page. This financial information can be used to query the database to show only those lots or properties within an approved price range. The customer can access a reservation agreement to send in the mail or complete an agreement online. Because these services capitalize on the power of communicating information based on real data, they translate into a compelling internet marketing tool.

Time and Cost Savings

The TSR Group's Integrated Development ServicesTM produces considerable savings in both time and overall cost. The TSR Group's Integrated Development ServicesTM can save 25% to 50% in project time and resources depending on your project requirements. If The TSR Group manages your project from conception to completion, it may be possible to reduce the project timeline by half that of traditional project management methods. The TSR Group can provide in-house experts for most or all of the professional services needed for your project such as landscape architecture, planning or civil engineering. In addition, we can build a team from your choice of individual firms. The most economic and efficient IDS implementation would include a team of The TSR Group's in-house professionals and/or strategic partners.

Major cost savings are realized because the project database can be used multiple times for different purposes. Information collected for planning design and engineering of your project is used to support sales. Photographs, drawings, maps and sketches can be derived directly from the GDL to support interactive web and graphic print material. Integrated Development ServicesTM will support everything from "stakeless grading" to accounting costs and revenue tracking as they occur. Field crews can enter their time
and progress interactively on the Internet from the job trailer or elsewhere. This information will be viewable by managers or other concerned parties from anywhere in the world. There should be little additional cost to the project for marketing information and the GDL will guide the client and the construction team through the building of the project from the ground up.
