Why Choose Newark Metametrics?

Effective planning and due diligence are crucial to the success of any project. Newark Metametrics’ experience and hands-on expertise allow us to foresee the practical implications of all the options and decisions to be made, avoiding unforeseen hurdles and making sure every aspect of your project goals becomes a reality.

Foresight

We know the challenges owners face in building new facilities, or re-organizing to meet current needs. From planning the scope of a project to finding the right professionals to design and build according to your vision and specific needs, we are passionate about getting the project right for you from start to finish

Our clients come to us early in the concept stage, relying on us to find the holes in the scope and budget of a planned project, and to flesh out a realistic timetable. We are experts at choosing which type of services and construction contracts are appropriate for your specific project and organizational needs, preparing RFPs that cover all the bases, and selecting the project team, builders and vendors that are right for you.

Expert Evaluations

We are also experts at evaluating design drawings to make sure nothing is left out, and all systems are coordinated to work with the plans. From technology to security, media systems and furnishings, we make sure the total package works together and that the owner knows how all aspects of the project are to be maintained over the life of the facility. When it comes time for construction and furnishings, we will be there to make sure all the hard planning is put in place just as intended, when it’s intended, and for the cost intended.
