Pre-con collaboration. A number you can hold us to.

Who it's for

Sponsors and owners who want pre-construction input on cost and constructability before the design is locked, and a guaranteed price they can carry to the IC. Best fit for value-add repositioning, ground-up retail, and complex TIs where cost certainty matters earlier than a hard-bid GC can deliver it.

Deliverables
  • Pre-construction services agreement
  • Constructability & value-engineering input
  • Cost models & trade-by-trade estimates
  • GMP proposal & conversion to construction
  • Open-book accounting through delivery
  • Shared savings model against the GMP
  • Single team across pre-con and construction
What we run

We engage in pre-con to validate design, cost, and schedule. At an agreed gate we convert to a guaranteed maximum price and assume the cost risk. Open-book accounting through delivery. Savings against the GMP are shared per the contract.

Pre-construction transparency. Construction-phase certainty. One team across the gate.
