You hold the trade contracts.
On a construction management job, the trades contract with you, the owner. We find them, bid them, schedule them and run them. Their price is never buried inside ours.
A fee you know on day one.
Our fee is set before work starts. It doesn't grow because the building costs more. We have no reason to let the budget drift, and every reason to bring it in.
Every invoice, open to you.
Bids, contracts, change orders, invoices and pay applications all sit in one place you can open at any time. No allowances you can't trace. No surprises at closeout.
Changes priced before they happen.
When something changes, you get the cost and the schedule impact in writing, and you decide. Nothing gets committed on a handshake and billed later.
Engineering that works for you.
We read the drawings looking for what won't work and what costs more than it should. You hear about it before it's built, with a better way to do it and what it saves.

| Savings found on the job | Often kept by the contractor | Stay with you |
| Changes | Often priced after the fact | Priced and approved before work |
