I would like...
Design-Build
You want someone to handle everything from design to completion, and everything in between. In this case, you hire a single entity for both design and construction services for the project. This is our preferred method. You can rest assured knowing all details will be handled and you will be kept up to date through ongoing communication.
Owner's Representative
This method is used primarily for very large and/or complex project types, where you, the owner, do not maintain staff in facilities, design, or construction. The Owner's Representative acts in a consulting role as an extension of your staff and provides expertise in Design, Development, and Construction.
This role is also known as an Owner's Representative, Project Manager, or Program Manager. The CMA can take on multiple roles based on your needs, budget, and complementary in-house expertise. The work of the CMA can begin with site evaluation, identification, and selection, solicitation for Design and Construction services, overall project budgeting and scheduling, overseeing prime contracts issued by you, just to name a broad range of services provided.
Construction Management at Risk
This is where you hire the Architect and Engineers directly to fully design the project and simultaneously hire the Construction Manager to be part of the team during the design phase. The Construction Manager's role during design is to provide reliable cost input (generally using a Guaranteed Maximum Price, GMP), scheduling and sequencing to maintain the overall timeframe for the project, constructability reviews, and value engineering as needed to maintain the budget and timeframe for the project.
The main advantage of this method is that you are able to establish a firm budget for the project early in the design process and yet still maintain a level of control over the design. The potential disadvantage of this method, however, is that you still maintain a level of responsibility for the adequacy of the design.
Design-Bid-Build
You have hired an architect or engineer to fully design the project and the next step is to hire the Contractor/Construction Manager to build the facility based on the design documents provided. The main advantage of this method is that you as the owner, have complete control over the design. The potential disadvantage of this method, is that the you also maintain responsibility for the adequacy of the design which can lead to unnecessary change orders during construction. Often times, you end up spending your valuable time working as a referee.
Design-Build Service
Our Design-Build service offers a seamless integration of design and construction, ensuring a streamlined process from concept to completion. By managing everything from site evaluation to contractor recruitment, we minimize your points of contact and keep you informed every step of the way. This comprehensive approach is ideal for clients seeking an efficient and stress-free experience, as we transform your vision into reality with professionalism and care.
Construction Management At Risk
Our Construction Management at Risk service is designed for clients who have completed their design plans and need a reliable partner for project execution. We select contractors based on specific project needs and oversee the entire construction process, ensuring adherence to budget and schedule. This service provides peace of mind, as we manage operations while allowing you to retain control over design elements.
Owner’s Representative
Our Owner’s Representative service acts as an extension of your team, offering expert guidance while allowing you to choose your own engineers, architects, and contractors. We manage the construction process, ensuring smooth coordination and execution, while respecting your project’s unique needs. This service is ideal for clients needing additional support in operations management, offering peace of mind through effective budget and timeline oversight.
