Pre-Construction Services
While White Construction has a Project Management Methodology dealing with all phases of construction, detailed later in this section, we feel very strongly about the importance of proactive pre-construction management in conjunction with strong project team interaction throughout the process. Wise use of this time by the total project team will provide a more accurate budget and minimize problems incurred during construction. To that end we will focus on several key areas once we become part of the project team.
Construction Management
In reality, all of White Construction’s procedures have the residual effect of cost control, based upon the fundamental premise that doing the job right the first time always produces project savings. Below are some of the more direct actions that we will take to control costs.
General Contracting
White Construction provides General Contracting Services which was a traditional method of Construction that is being utilized less and less for today’s delivery of construction. White would act as the single source of contact and contract with the Customer for all of the work associated with the project’s construction. The project is typically bid based on 100% complete plans and specifications as prepared by the Customer’s Architect/Engineer.
Design Build
White Construction provides Design-Build Services which means that the Contractor has responsibility for both Design and Construction of the Project. Design-Build has some of the same benefits as Construction Management as it relieves the Owner the task of coordinating the Contractor with the Architect and the risk in doing so.
