Public assembly projects are complex, high-profile projects.  Building codes are written for the most common types of structures.  They do not always address clearly the issues of a one-of-a-kind building (at least within a given jurisdiction) like a convention center, arena or airport.

Typically, one may find a dozen or two dozen consultants on such a project.  Since many public assembly projects are funded by governmental bodies, there is usually pressure to hire local professionals.  It is not unusual that resident professionals may not have direct, relevant project experience for this building type.

McCleskey Consulting, Inc. was founded to provide assistance to those professionals whether they are architects, engineers, contractors or facility owners.  The fundamental question is "What services do you provide?"  The answer is "Whatever it takes to help the team be successful!"  Getting to the answer quicker is economical.  Everyone feels more successful when they can see a profit from their work.  Some of the things that help are:

• Review of space requirements for mechanical, electrical and plumbing/fire protection (MEP) systems
• Assist in setting schematic design criteria
• Exhibitor utility floorboxes and specialty outlets design
• Evaluate impact of design on Operations Department
• Assist in value engineering of MEP systems
• Assist in partnering with the project team
• Review of progress drawings and specifications
• Peer review of documents
• Review of costs based on historical unit costs
