Including the contractor in the design process allows for real-time cost estimation and value engineering, ensuring the design aligns with budgetary goals from the outset. This collaboration between the contractor and design teams helps avoid costly redesigns and scope adjustments later in the project.
By having the contractor involved early, the team can make informed decisions about materials, methods, and timelines, optimizing the project for both cost and quality. Ultimately, this integrated approach leads to a more efficient construction process, timely governmental approvals, and a final product that meets both functional and financial expectations of the client.
At PCM, our process begins with strong relationships. We maintain ongoing partnerships with design professionals and governmental regulators, strengthening these connections through consistent, reliable performance. By integrating all necessary design professionals under a single contract, PCM offers more competitive pricing than if each were hired individually. Additionally, we streamline the often complex and lengthy governmental approval process through well-coordinated construction documents and timely submissions.
After reviewing the initial design requirements, PCM provides a two-phase design contract. In Phase I, we establish the overall design and preliminary pricing, with no obligation to proceed to Phase II. Upon completion of Phase II, PCM delivers all required documents for permitting and presents a Guaranteed Maximum Price Construction Contract for your consideration.
