Achieve 360°: Attain

Attain: First Step in a Successful Project

The team at Duo-Gard has a proprietary approach that elevates project development. We call it Achieve 360°. There are three phases in our approach: Attain, Align and Activate. We recently checked in with the Dave Miller, President of Duo-Gard for some insights into the Attainment phase.

“Attain is the discovery and understanding phase of the project. It helps our team formalize the vision of the project. Sometimes clients come to us with a set of blueprints or an elevation. But others convey their mental vision of the project,” explains Miller.

Duo-Gard uses Attain sessions as an opportunity to gather perspective. From there we apply our expertise to suggest specific materials (considering weight and opacity) and technologies to achieve the client’s vision. “Spending time in the Attain phase helps us better achieve the structural, performance and financial goals of the project,” says Miller.

He cites a canopy project as an example. During Attain, the team probed for vision details like project purpose and location; shape of the canopy; transparency levels and R transmission.

Duo-Gard draws upon 40 years of experience in high-performance translucent projects to inform each Achieve 360° project. “A lot of our clients are excellent designers, working on premier projects. They rely upon our team to lend expertise in translucency. We are their link between design and materials for canopies, wall facades, skylights, shelters and more. When clients lean into Achieve 360°, they optimize our knowledge to get the best overall project results,” notes Miller. In addition to offering standard solutions, Duo-Gard designs, fabricates and installs custom projects
