  The PIMD Construction Project Managment group carries out design and construction of new facilities and renovations and modifications, alterations and improvements, remediation, and reconstruction activities in existing facilities, in conformance with all applicable building and life safety codes. Our mission is to provide quality turnkey construction project services to enable world class science programs at Berkeley Lab.

• Cost Estimating

  The PIMD Cost Estimating group consists of seven cost estimating professionals.  All members are multi-disciplined estimators, with each having focused knowledge of specific construction divisions. The group provides cost estimates for LBNL Capital Asset Projects, Science-based Infrastructure modifications & alterations, facility improvements, deferred maintenance work and D & D projects based on the level of design maturity.

• Deactivation & Decommissioning

  The PIMD Deactivation & Decommissioning (D&D) group is responsible for placing a formerly active facility in a safe and stable condition until it can be decommissioned or dismantled, in accordance with DOE requirements.
