Everyone who’s ever made the decision to build has asked the question, “Now what?” The first step is to determine the project delivery method that works best for you.
Lump-sum competitive bidding is simple to administer and works well for the owner who has the in-house resources necessary to manage the complex issues inherent in a construction project.
Utilizing the team approach, construction management affords opportunities to save both time and money, and realize increased value that lump-sum competitive bidding does not.
And if you desire a single source of responsibility, we take the design / build route where we partner with an architect and assume the entire risk for design and construction. Design / build lends itself well to phased construction and early guaranteed pricing.
In making your choice, you may want to ask yourself the following questions:
• What are my in-house capabilities for managing a construction project?
• Are there requirements placed upon the project by those providing financing?
• What is my risk tolerance? How do I want to manage and allocate project risks?
• What type of relationship do I want among the construction team?
• Do I have tax-exempt status?
• Is sustainable, or “green” design important to me? What about LEED certification?
The answers to these and other questions will determine which delivery method makes the most sense for you and your project.
