Building Landmark Properties

Construction is our business. With world-class leadership and a well-honed approach developed over more than three quarters of a century, we employ expertise, experience and ingenuity to build landmark properties – and build lasting relationships with our clients. We approach every project inspiring trust and confidence in everything we do. Our comprehensive construction services – from preconstruction through constructability and field management – deliver superior results on time and on budget. We virtual Design and Construction technology enhances our ability to deliver projects faster, more cost effectively and with a greater level of quality. Our construction services include:

-Life-Cycle Cost Analysis

Life-Cycle Cost Analysis is the key to saving money over the long term. Design and construction account for approximately 20 percent of the total cost of a building during its lifetime. The remaining 80 percent will be spent on operations and maintenance over the life of the facility. Too often, up-front cost savings sabotage long-term performance.

-Prefabrication and Modularization

When a project calls for construction on a tight and impacted site, prefabrication and modularization can help alleviate congestion by expanding the construction area to include off-site manufacturing and assembly facilities. Many building components can be built or assembled more efficiently under controlled factory conditions that improve quality while reducing costs – without having to work around the difficulties of inclement weather. The components are delivered to the site just in time for integration on the project, reducing the amount of site space devoted to storage of parts and components.

Additional efficiency is realized when our trade partners become installers instead of assemblers, leading to a higher degree of quality and accuracy.

-Contracting Methodologies

Choosing the right delivery method can mean the difference between success and failure. We have experience working with various project delivery methods, including both traditional (Design-Bid Build and CM at Risk) and alternative (design-build, integrated project delivery). These delivery methods present varying risk models and advantages for owners, and can be tailored to the specific needs of the project.
