Concord has extensive experience in following construction delivery methods:
• Hard Bid/Construction Management at Risk (CMAR) Construction Management at Risk is a delivery method wherein the construction firm delivers a project within Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP). This method, sometimes, referred by contractors as an old fashioned "Hard Bid" and benefits the owner in at least two different ways; 1) the owner is assured that project will not go over budget; 2) the owner knows that project risks are shared with the construction firm.
• Design/Build In some cases, owners prefer to have single company do the actual design and build portions of the project. Going over budget is a common problem and we can prevent this by being able to select Architect/Engineer to design the project in accordance with the specifications of the owner and closely monitor the design process. A single point of responsibility is the biggest and strongest benefit to the owner.
• Construction Management as Agent (CM) During the design phase of the project, the CM (Construction Manager) will work closely with the Architect/Engineer to design the project and act as a consultant for the owner. This approach enables us to give more value to the owner as we are able to ensure that the design part of the project is economically sustainable. Once the construction phase kicks-in, the CM takes control over the entire project and becomes General Contractor. Flexibility in decision making is the main benefit to the owner.
• Competitive Sealed Proposals (CSP) In this method, the owner has the option to take into consideration different factors other than just the bid price. The owner may weigh a company's experience, performance on past projects, construction costs, safety records and does not necessarily have to award the project to low bidder.
