Delivery Methods The consideration of project variables such
as scale, complexity, client experience with similar projects and client objectives drive the choice of project-delivery
system. Delivery classifications are flexible and varied to accommodate special project needs. We have
substantial experience and success in the following delivery methods:
|
- Program management: In this role, we are responsible to the owner for the entire program, directing work
from pre-design through post-construction. Feasibility studies, concept development, programming, design management,
bid management, construction, occupancy planning and facility management may all be included.
- Design / build: In this role, we manage design and construction as a single process. Design and
construction schedules overlap, saving time. The final price is usually guaranteed by the General Contractor and is
commonly practiced where strict deadlines and budget constraints are paramount.
- Construction management: In this role, we provide pre-design and preconstruction planning (phased schedule,
budget, bid / award), and field management. Depending upon the options our clients choose, we may hold trade
contracts. Often these services are provided for multiple overlapping projects, an aggressive schedule, and where
there is a need for full preconstruction services.
- General contracting: In this role, we hire and supervise subcontractors to achieve desired quality. We may
self-perform portions of the work. Design / bid / build phases are sequential (rather than overlapping), which usually
extends the schedule. GC work is performed under a single, lump-sum construction contract based on completed design
documents. This approach is sometimes used for a hotel guestroom renovation or for relatively simple projects, public
bids / award process, or low bid as the major criterion for subcontractor selection with less emphasis on an
aggressive schedule.
