Design Build
One of the most common procurement methods, the Design-Build delivery model, provides single source accountability which helps to reduce design time while providing greater project control. This method also allows for earlier establishment of overall costs while contributing to faster project completion. Value Engineering also serves of great benefit to this approach, allowing for innovative problem solving during the early stages of the project life cycle.
Construction Management
A collaborative approach allowing for simultaneous engagement between the Owner, Architect and Builder, this method provides open book communications with single point accountability. At hexcon, we have developed best practices in completing Construction Management projects that help to inform the custom built solutions we create. Through exceptional planning efforts guided by dynamic leadership, we ensure communications are timely and transparent, allowing for more informed decisions to be made in alignment with the overall project objectives.
Lump Sum
This approach, also referred to as Fixed Price or Guaranteed Maximum Price Contracting, provisions for a fixed scope of work to be completed for an agreed lump sum payment. Dependant upon the arrangement, the guaranteed maximum price generally includes a base cost along with several allowances and contingencies that may result in the final cost coming at or below the agreed upon maximum price. Reimbursement contracts come in a variety of forms and are often coupled with a not-to-exceed maximum price. Lump Sum can be applied to both Construction Management or Design Build delivery methods.
