The project scope is now refined to include the features, functions and items needed to achieve your project goals. This includes documenting inclusions and exclusions to the proposed scope of work. Once complete, the project scope is presented to the decision makers for approval.

4. Design & Bid Documents

If a traditional design-bid-build project delivery method is chosen, our team will orchestrate the production of plans and specifications by design professionals. If a design-build format is chosen, we will produce a design-build manual to list project requirements.

5. Competitive Bidding

During the bidding phase, we work with prospective contractors to obtain apples-to-apples bid offerings for the proposed scope of work. By thoroughly vetting and critiquing each bid, we advocate on your behalf by ensuring each bid meets project requirements.

6. Contractor Engagement

After reviewing and analyzing the contractors’ competitive bids, we organize and present them for your review. Once you select a contractor, we will coordinate with your key decision makers to develop an Owner-Contractor Agreement and negotiate the terms with the contractor.

7. Funding and Final Budgeting

Once a contractor is engaged, we assemble an updated project budget reflecting the final schedule of values. We use this budget to monitor the contractor’s performance and provide budget updates, assisting with cash flow forecasting. We can also compile and present to you a list of funding options to help you fund your project.

8. Prepare for Construction

We lead the project team prior to starting construction by confirming items such as permits, bonds, funding authorizations, required notices, meetings and owner communications have been completed before issuing Notice to Proceed allowing the contractor to start the work.

9. Construction

We act as your representative, advocating for you during the construction phase. Our team monitors the construction budget, project details, the contractors’ progress, quality and overall performance. During construction, we strive to minimize the inconveniences often associated with construction activities.

10. Close-Out
