Services
What we do, and the contracts we do it under. Most projects use several of these services together.
Estimates at every design milestone, constructability reviews, schedules and early buying, so the budget is known before the drawings are finished.
We join during design, manage the trade bidding with open books and take the risk of delivering within a guaranteed maximum price.
One contract, one team and one point of responsibility, with architects and engineers working inside our schedule and budget.
A lump-sum price for complete construction documents, with our own superintendents and crews running the site.
Our own concrete and carpentry crews on foundations, structures, slabs and rough carpentry: the work that sets every schedule.
Federated models, clash detection, laser scanning and prefabricated assemblies that move work from the site into a controlled shop.
Four ways to contract with us.
The delivery method decides when we join, who holds the designer's contract and how the price is set.
| Method | How it works | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| CM at-RiskCMAR | We join during design, price as it develops and commit to a guaranteed maximum price before construction. | Owners who want a builder's cost and schedule advice during design, with one contract for construction. |
| Design-BuildDB | One contract with us for design and construction, with the architect and engineers on our team. | Owners who want a single point of responsibility and the fastest route from idea to occupancy. |
| Progressive Design-BuildPDB | Design-build selected on qualifications, with the price agreed in stages as the design progresses. | Public owners who want design-build speed with open-book pricing before committing to a number. |
| General Contracting (Hard Bid)GC | We price complete construction documents and build them for a lump sum. | Owners with a finished design who need a firm price and a competitive bid. |
