We have a long history of publicly bid projects which include county and city government projects, university projects, and state construction projects. We have received several awards of excellence from these types of projects. We have constructed projects under the single prime contracting method and the multi-prime contract method. Regardless of the type project or contracting method, we approach each project with the same mentality of quality, timeliness, and budget control.
Design-Bid-Build
We understand the difference between being a general contractor and being a construction manager. We are the owner's representative and bear the responsibility of looking after the owner's best interest first and foremost. The pre-qualified contractors for each bid package are in reality a prime contractor responsible for completing their scope of work in it's entirety. This is the major difference in CM at Risk Project and makes the pre-qualification process so critical. The most important part of any project is the team assembled and their ability to work together.

Management
SERVICES
Our approach to pre-construction services is to have as many of our team members as possible review the drawings at each phase to determine the best options as they relate to constructability, value engineering, relevant subcontractors, and schedule. We have an extensive list of subcontractors who will also look at budget estimates with us to determine if the market rates have changed, labor and material availabilities, and constructability. Having both our team and our subcontractors work together through these phases gives us more than just historical information, it gives us real time snapshots of the market
