Osceola County has embarked on the development of NeoCity to create an economic generator for high - tech job growth in Osceola County. Following the opening of the Center for Neovation as the technological center piece of NeoCity, the County recognized the need to have office space available to support companies that utilize this core facility.

During the design process, ZHA helped shape the project program and budget, and negotiated the contracts to keep the project moving forward.

As the Owner's Representative for Osceola County, ZHA provided coordination with various agencies, scheduling, cost estimating, performance specifications, technical reports, plan reviews, fee negotiations assistance, contract reviews, design management, construction overview, resident project representative, claims analysis, litigation support, project overview, staff augmentation and other general consulting, advisory and management services requested by the County.
