Every Owner planning a construction project expects three things: a high-quality product delivered on schedule and within budget. Too often, though, owners get “if-all-goes-well” promises . . . but no guarantees and no Guaranteed Maximum Price.
It’s the nature of the traditional Design/Bid/Build construction model, where architects and engineers design a facility and draw plans – and then request bids for materials and services based on those plans. It’s a model where owners, architects, engineers, contractors, subcontractors, material suppliers and those responsible for financing and permitting each plays an important role. Each has an impact on the quality, timing and cost of the project but because each is usually brought into the process as the project develops – instead of during the planning phase – it’s difficult, if not impossible to determine final costs and schedules early in the process. More importantly, the Design/Bid/Build model does not take advantage of the expertise of each of these disciplines during the planning phase, which could reduce total project costs.
The Sakonnet Construction Management model works differently. It does not start with design. It starts with team-building – bringing together all disciplines associated with the project during the pre-design planning phase and establishing protocols for communication, quality control, resource procurement and risk management. This process collaboratively harnesses the talents and insights of all participants to optimize project results, increase value to the Owner, reduce waste, and maximize efficiency through all phases of design, fabrication, and construction.
Construction Management with Sakonnet Associates harnesses the expertise of the designers, builder trades and equipment/material suppliers to ensure a high-quality product delivered on schedule and within budget.
