Benefits of working with Us
It is important to note that our Owner/Project Partner Design-Build approach, is focused on giving you, the Owner, the highest value possible for your construction costs.
Four of the many benefits of Working with Construction Solutions-Midwest, LLC include:
· Enhanced communication with a direct line contact between you and our staff
· Single source project delivery
· Increased & direct accountability to you by us
· Early Project evaluation information to assist you in making sound value based decisions
Enhanced communication
The owner has greater access to the project “team” as the project is being developed. With our approach, You, the Owner, work hand in hand with our “Team” as the design parameters of a project are being developed, budgetary goals, construction methodologies and budget conditions are all being weighed simultaneously. The process gives you early and reliable information on which to base you project decisions that you do not get with other delivery methods.
This is a keystone to the success our Owner/Project Partner Design-Build approach. We work as a partnership with a common goal which is to get you the “Biggest bang for the buck” because it allows you to be part of the process.
Single source project delivery
Instead of having to deal with several contractors and consultants, you only have one entity to deal with. Design revisions, project feedback, budgeting, permitting, construction issues, change orders, and billing can all be routed through one point of contact. This single point of contact allows you a greater degree of flexibility and a higher level of peace of mind.
Increased & direct accountability to you by
Our approach provides you with one integrated entity which moves your project away from the “finger-pointing” that is often commonplace in contemporary construction projects. It allows you, the Owner, to look to one entity with any questions or concerns. Changes in the project design are implemented quickly and seamlessly with minimized effect on project schedule. Any impact of changes, (financial, schedule etc.) are known prior to making any final decisions to proceed.
Early Project evaluation information to assist you in making sound value based decisions
Typically, in order for a contractor to bid on a project, very specific details relating to the methods and materials must be given to avoid any ambiguity and to make an “apples to apples” comparison of bids. In our Owner/Project Partner Design-Build approach You and We work together to determine what methods and materials will maximize the project’s value. In instances where marginally more expensive materials, designs, or construction methods might yield a higher return on investment than those of lower cost, You can make the decision to adjust the project’s program without having to re-bid the entire project.
Almost 70% of traditional contracts end up over budget. With our approach any project overage is generally owner driven, whereas the overage in the more traditional method tends to be a result of the budget disconnect to which many architects and other design professionals are prone.
Overview of process
Our Owner/Project Partner Design-build approach focuses on combining the design, permit, and construction schedules in order to streamline the process over the traditional design-bid-build environment. This does not shorten the time it takes to complete the individual tasks of creating construction documents (working drawings and specifications), acquiring building and other permits, or actually constructing the building. Instead, our approach strives to bring together design and construction professionals in a collaborative environment to complete these tasks in an overlapping like fashion so that the process happens as quickly and smoothly as can be achieved and with as minimal stress to you as possible.
