Our approach
Three Approaches, One Goal
Construction projects have many moving parts, but as an owner, you just need to know you're getting the highest quality at the lowest cost, in the shortest amount of time. Multiple project delivery methods allow for flexibility within this complex process.
Design-Build
Best for: Less complex projects that may be similar to something that has been built before, or needs a fast turnaround.
The owner engages with a construction management firm that offers a design-build team first.
The D/B team of both architects and contractors work together from the start of the design process until the end of construction.
The owner has a single point of contact with the construction management firm for the whole project because the firm is essentially a “one-stop-shop” for design and construction services.
Construction Manager at Risk
Best for: decreasing owners’ risk on a project with collaboration and higher quality from all parties.
The owner engages with the architect or contractor first.
The architect starts to develop the design and brings in the contractor into the design process as early as possible so that they can work collaboratively from beginning to end, like D/B.
The contractor will hold all the risks of construction by setting a guaranteed maximum price (GMP). GMP means that the contractor guarantees completion of the project under a fixed cost, and any savings within that are given back to the owner.
Design-Bid-Build
Best for: public work projects with more engineering than architecture.
The owner engages with the architect first.
The architect develops the design and creates construction documents to disseminate to all contractors preparing for the bidding process.
After the bidding process ends, usually, owners will select the lowest bidding contractor and then construction begins. However, the lowest bidder may not be the highest quality contractor. The lowest bid selection often occurs at the subcontractor level as well.
