    Constructability review

    Superintendents mark up the drawings before they are issued, not after.

  3. 03

    Options, priced

    Value options listed with cost, schedule effect and what the building gives up, so the owner decides.

    Delivery questions

    01Which delivery method should we use?

    Hard bid suits complete documents and a public process. CM at risk and design-build bring us in early, when cost and schedule can still change the design. We will say which fits your project and why.

    02What is a GMP?

    A guaranteed maximum price: the most the owner pays for the defined scope. Savings below it are shared or returned as the contract says.

    03Can you work in an occupied building?

    Most of our interiors and school work is occupied. We phase, isolate dust and noise, and work after hours where the owner needs it.

    04What do you self-perform?

    Concrete, rough carpentry, doors and hardware, and specialties. Everything else is bought out to qualified trade partners.
