Services
Construction Manager At-Risk
Our CMR delivery model engages early in design phases to provide guaranteed maximum pricing between 50-75% construction documents. We assume full risk management while coordinating subcontractors and maintaining budget control. This approach ensures cost certainty and streamlined project execution for complex commercial developments.
Design-Build Services
We deliver coordinated design and construction services under early-established budgets. Our team collaborates with criteria architects to develop owner requirements then executes projects with guaranteed pricing from initial design phases. This method reduces timelines while maintaining quality standards across all project components.
General Contracting
Our traditional GC services utilize low-bid procurement while maintaining quality oversight. We coordinate with agency construction managers to protect owner interests during construction phases. This model works best for projects requiring strict budget adherence with post-design construction execution.
Construction Manager Agency
We provide expert consultation for budget management and design reviews without assuming financial risk. Our advisory team offers estimating services, constructability assessments, and administrative support throughout the project lifecycle. This service works best for owners maintaining direct subcontractor relationships.
Design-Bid-Build
We execute projects through competitive bidding with pre-selected architects. Our focus remains on value engineering rather than lowest-cost awards. This time-tested approach ensures quality control while leveraging established subcontractor relationships for reliable project delivery.
