Build your project team early and manage budget against drawings as they develop — before cost problems arise.
This method provides the client the ability to build a project team by joining the Architect and a Construction Manager to manage the project's predetermined budget against the architectural drawings as they are being developed — rather than waiting until drawings are complete and discovering a budget problem.
CHA Construction acts as your Construction Manager, making recommendations to the owner concerning costs, constructability, and schedule — keeping you informed and in control at every step of the design process.
Your project team — owner, architect, and construction manager — is assembled at the start of design. This integrated approach prevents costly misalignments between design intent and construction reality.
You maintain maximum involvement and control over decisions. Every major cost, design, and schedule decision goes through your approval, giving you the power to shape the project in real time.
Budget is tracked against architectural drawings as they develop. Cost issues are identified and resolved during design — when changes are inexpensive — not after construction documents are complete.
CHA reviews design documents for buildability, coordination conflicts, and cost efficiency throughout the design process, reducing RFIs, change orders, and delays during construction.
Construction Management is the most collaborative delivery method. It requires meaningful time commitment from the owner — but delivers the highest level of control and transparency of any approach.
All major decisions require active owner participation. This is a collaborative partnership — not a hands-off contract. The more engaged you are, the better your project outcome.
The preconstruction phase is longer than traditional general contracting as the team works through design, budgeting, and planning collaboratively before ground breaking.
Owner, architect, and CHA Construction Manager are engaged simultaneously at project inception.
A detailed project budget is developed based on program requirements before architectural design begins.
CHA reviews design documents at each milestone for cost, constructability, and schedule impact.
Subcontractor packages are assembled and bid while final design is completed, compressing the schedule.
Full on-site supervision with transparent reporting against the established budget and schedule.
Complete documentation, punch list management, and owner training for all building systems.
