Blake Contracting integrates our Project Team and the Design Team early on in the construction process. We provide ongoing technical support and feedback to eliminate unnecessary costs and delays. With a continual focus on value, quality, timeliness and savings, our Pre Construction services provide an efficient, constructable project. These services include:
- Constructability Reviews
- Value Engineering
- Deductive Alternates
- Budgeting/Estimating
- Scheduling
- Bidding/Bid Packaging
- Change Order Mitigation
- Subcontractor Pre-Qualification
- Subcontract Award
- Phasing Plans
- Zoning/Code Compliance
- Reporting Procedures
- Project Delivery Strategies
By partnering with the Owner and Design Team before construction begins, Blake is able to clearly identify the goals of every party and successfully address how these goals will be reached.
Traditional Delivery System
As the GC on a project, Blake assumes direct responsibility for all construction phase activities. Contracts are secured through competitive bidding, or through a qualifications-based selection process, often including a guaranteed maximum price (GMP).
Single-Source Design and Construction Services
As the General Contractor, Blake subcontracts architectural and engineering services and remains the dominant contracting entity in the Design/Build process. Partnering with a selectively chosen Architect, or other duly licensed team members, the two are contracted as a single-source team to complete both design and construction services to meet the Owner’s specific needs.
