FAQ

What is Construction Management?

Construction Management is a construction delivery method where a contractor is hired pre-design to oversee planning, design, and execution of a construction project to ensure they are completed on time, within budget, and to the required quality standards. It involves project planning, coordinating resources, cost management, quality control, risk management, contract administration and facilitating communication among stakeholders. This approach helps mitigate risks and ensures project success.

What is General Contracting?

General Contracting is a construction delivery method where a contractor is hired to oversee and manage all aspects of a construction project, most typically post-design. The general contractor is responsible for hiring and supervising subcontractors, procuring materials, and ensuring the project is completed according to the design, schedule, and budget. They serve as the central point of accountability, coordinating efforts to deliver the finished project efficiently.

What is Master Planning?

Master Planning services in commercial construction involve developing a comprehensive, long-term strategy that guides the future growth and development of a building, property, or site. This process integrates various elements such as land use, infrastructure, and zoning regulations to create a cohesive vision for the area. By establishing design guidelines and outlining potential building projects, master planning ensures that all components harmonize effectively, leading to efficient and sustainable developments.

What are Self-Performed Services?

Self-Performed Services in commercial construction refer to tasks executed directly by a general contractor’s own workforce, rather than subcontracting them to external parties. This approach allows the contractor to maintain greater control over project quality, schedule, and costs, leading to enhanced efficiency and consistency throughout the construction process.

What is Design-Build?

Design-Build is a project delivery method in commercial construction where a single entity manages both the design and construction phases. This integrated approach streamlines communication, fosters collaboration, and ensures accountability by having one team handle the entire process from concept to completion. It often results in faster project timelines, cost efficiency, and improved coordination between design and construction.
