Lower Cost
By seeking competitive bids and efficiently managing the design and construction process, we lower project cost 5-10% or more and average 1.5% or less in change orders vs. the 6% industry average.
Efficiently managing an effective design and construction process saves you time and money. When qualified professionals compete on projects they know will be managed and led properly, they reflect those savings in their fees. A quality competitive field yields creative solutions at competitive prices.
Lower Risk
Our in-depth knowledge protects our owners and significantly limits their liability.
In-depth knowledge of real estate transactions, design agreements, and construction contracts leveraged by our relationships with qualified real estate and construction contract attorneys ensure your agreements and contracts limit your liability while protecting your interest.
Time Saved
We build momentum and keep the project on schedule, reducing an owner’s time involvement and completing the project months faster than traditional methods.
By utilizing scheduling software to link every task that must be undertaken for a specific project according to predecessors, durations, and critical dates, the ramifications each task has on each other and ultimately the completion date becomes evident. With this knowledge in hand the critical path of a project can be skillfully managed to save time and maintain momentum. Momentum is an intangible that has a very real impact to a project’s cost and time.
