Early Involvement, Valuable Benefits
Construction Management (CM) is unlike the traditional model of delivering construction services, in which a construction company works as a “General Contractor” (GC), in a bid and build process.
The CM relationship begins at a point early in the project development process. Our team often assists with feasibility studies and development pro formas; at other times, we are brought in during a project’s schematic or conceptual design. Exactly when we are engaged in the project is a value-based decision for each client—but early involvement is the basis of the CM model. This collaborative partnership between the CM firm, client and design team brings each project many valuable benefits—to cost, to schedule and to the comprehensive quality of the project’s construction. And, the earlier we are involved, the more value we are able to bring your project. This early investment in our guidance can save a project significant expense and valuable time, and build the best version of your vision.
Central Features of Our CM Service Include:
- An approach that starts with listening and understanding our clients’ specific project constraints and needs, and then matching those objectives with the subcontractor partners and internal resources that best suit your project
- A role in the design/preconstruction phase, enabling us to shape the project’s budget, schedule, and design in support of all your project’s goals
- Comprehensive management of all aspects of the project on your behalf, with full alignment of interests
- Continued assistance to your team after occupancy, until all your expectations have been fulfilled
