How a project will be designed and constructed, or choosing the right delivery method, is one of the most important decisions every owner must make before embarking on a construction project. We help coach you through the entire process, from start to finish, guiding you and your project in a successful direction.
Construction Management (CM) is a broad term and would typically be responsible for the schedule, costs, construction, project safety and project management related to the project. The CM can serve the owner in many ways, ranging from short term advice during any phase of the project, to acting as the owner’s agent throughout the project. CM services can be delivered as either CM as Advisor/Agent or CM at Risk.
Design-build is a project delivery method in which both the design and construction services are under a single contract with the owner. The design-build team can be either designer-led or contractor-led. Through this method, the design-builder, architect, engineer and contractors are all united to serve the interests of the owner. The team lead serves as the single point of contact.
General Contracting, sometimes known as a lump sum general contract, is when the owner issues a complete set of construction drawings to interested construction firms. This process is also known as design-bid-build, or plan and specification. Once the drawings are issued, contractors then develop pricing for the cost of materials, labor, equipment, insurance and other factors associated with the project.

As construction closes, we complete the finishing touches in a 30- or 60-day punch-list, ensuring that your building is just as you imagined. And operating your building for a year, we’ll stop by for a walk-through and address anything that’s causing you trouble or needs fixing.
