One Route Doesn’t Fit Every Project
Our priority is delivering your project on time and on budget, regardless of how we get there.
Involving us early is the biggest key to a project’s success. Choosing the right delivery method is the second. Three routes, one standard of work. Here is how each one runs and when it is the right call.
Which Route Fits Your Project
Every method gets the same crews and the same standard of work. What changes is when we join, who carries the design risk, and how early you know the number.
| Design Build | Lump Sum Bid | Management At Risk | |
|---|---|---|---|
| When we come in | Before design starts | After drawings are complete | Early in the design phase |
| Who carries design risk | We do. Design and build sit under one contract | You and your architect | Shared, with us advising the design team |
| Price certainty | Locked in as the design lands | Fixed at bid | Guaranteed maximum, open book |
| Schedule | Fastest, because design and construction overlap | Sequential, with a bid period built in | Fast, with room to adjust |
| Change orders | Fewest, because we drew it | Tied to how complete the drawings are | Caught early in preconstruction |
| Best suited to | Owners who want speed and one accountable team | Fully designed projects and public bids | Complex projects still taking shape |
Most owners land on a method in one conversation. Bring us finished drawings, a rough budget, or an idea sketched on a napkin. We will tell you straight which route serves the project.
Talk It Through With UsWhat Never Changes
A delivery method decides how a project gets bought and how early we join the table. It never decides how the work gets built. The crews, the standards, and the people stay exactly the same.
Self-Perform Crews
Concrete, steel, and the scopes we would rather keep in our own hands.
Real Preconstruction
Value engineering, live supply lines, and budgets that survive first contact.
Safety First
One standard on every site, every shift, whoever holds the contract.
One Team Throughout
The people who price your project are the people who build it.
Design Build
Design Build is the most optimized route. You bring us in before design starts, and one accountable team carries the project from first sketch to opening day. Designers, engineers, and builders solving the same problem in the same room.
We bring current knowledge of supply lines and available innovative solutions to the table and value engineer the entire project, so you get the most facility for your budget, delivered on your timeline.
- Fastest path to opening day
- One point of responsibility
- Design and price move together
- Fewest surprises mid-build
Lump Sum Bid
Lump Sum Bid keeps you and your architect in the driver’s seat. You design the facility you want, and once drawings and specifications are complete, the project opens for bids.
We have delivered many successful Lump Sum Bid projects for public and private owners. We understand the risks this form carries, and with an appropriately defined scope and schedule, we will bring you the project you want at fair pricing.
- Best when design is finished
- Fixed price before we mobilize
- Built for public and private bids
- Scope defined up front
Management At Risk
With Construction Management at Risk, we engage with both the owner and the design firm early in the design phase. That builds an immediate, cohesive, collaborative working relationship across the whole team, and many of our projects are delivered exactly this way.
From concrete foundations to industrial renovations and additions, you harness our full building expertise with a guaranteed maximum price and cost visibility the entire way.
- Best when design is still moving
- Open book, guaranteed maximum
- Preconstruction guidance included
- One team from day one
Getting in touch
Not sure which route fits?Ask us before you bid it
Bring us a site, a set of drawings, or just the idea. We will tell you which delivery method fits the job, where the risk actually sits, and what it takes to hold the schedule. The earlier that conversation happens, the more of it we can control.
