Our Streamlined method where design and construction are a single source of responsibility for one entity. Design/Builders are accountable from the earliest stages of the project and may/may not self-preform some or all of the design and construction work.

• Owner conceives Project
• Owner receives price/budget for design and construction from single entity, up front, prior to full design
• Owner contracts directly with the Design/Builder
• Design/Builder then has full responsibility for design and construction
• Design/Builder contracts with all A/E Firms and subcontractors
• Design/Builder then works with owner to design project and create construction documents
• Design/Builder hires subcontractors and manages construction

Architects are responsible for the design while the General Contractor is responsible for construction. The General Contractor is obligated to perform exactly what is indicated or inferred by contract drawings and specifications. This method is the oldest way to buy construction services.

• Owner Conceives project
• Owner then hires architect
• Architect provides budget/feasibility and designs project
• General Contractor bids project
• Owner hires General Contractor
• General Contractor hires subcontractors and manages construction

The Construction Manager is a professional management team with focus on construction. We specialize in organizing and buying the various components of the Project and administer the work on behalf of the owner. The Preconstruction phase is likely to involve interface with Architect, but with no control of Architect. The Architect control is left up to the Owner. This method is usually used on larger scale projects.

• Owner conceives project and hires an architect
• Owner hires Construction Manager, fee based
• Architect designs, Construction Manager monitors design
• Construction Manager manages the bidding process and administers contracts
• Contractors (subcontractors) contract with Owner
• The Prime Contractors manage construction day to day
