A PROVEN TRADITION IN CONSTRUCTION

The General Contracting delivery method offers a time-tested, transparent approach to building. Often referred to as Design-Bid-Build, this strategy provides a clear separation of roles, ensuring a system of checks and balances between the design and construction phases. In this model, the Owner maintains separate contracts with the Architect and the General Contractor. This allows the General Contractor to focus exclusively on high-quality execution, taking a completed set of plans and turning them into a physical reality with precision and accountability.

THE EXPERT CONSTRUCTION TEAM

Success in General Contracting is driven by mastery of the trade and superior project management. Once the design is finalized, the General Contractor takes the lead, utilizing a robust network of vetted subcontractors and specialists to perform the work. This team structure is built on clear documentation and competitive procurement. Because the General Contractor enters the project with a defined scope, they can provide a firm commitment to the project’s requirements, ensuring that every detail specified by the architect is met with the highest standards of craftsmanship.

EFFICIENCY THROUGH PLAN ADHERENCE

While traditional in its sequence, General Contracting thrives on the clarity of a completed vision. By starting construction only after the design is 100% finalized, the project benefits from a highly predictable build phase. This linear approach minimizes “design creep” and allows the construction team to focus entirely on logistics, site safety, and aggressive scheduling. Our team utilizes advanced project management tools to ensure that once ground is broken, the momentum is maintained daily until the keys are handed over.

TRANSPARENCY AND COMPETITIVE VALUE

General Contracting is the industry standard for budget transparency and competitive market pricing. Because the project is bid out based on finished documents, Owners can ensure they are receiving the best possible market value for the specified work. This method reduces financial ambiguity by providing a fixed-price contract, protecting the Owner from market fluctuations. With a clear set of plans as the roadmap, the General Contractor acts as the steward of the budget, ensuring every dollar spent is reflected in the quality of the final build.
