Collaborating with clients to deliver their buildings within their time scales and budgets, CVT provides businesses with a one stop Project and Contract Management service. With wide experience in the field, the service is designed to be both flexible and cost effective and to introduce a high degree of transparency and accountability into the process.
Undertaking a construction project is a complex endeavor. CVT Contracting can help by leveling the playing field between the owner and the contractor, and ensuring that everyone is informed and understands their role, expectations, and schedule for completing the project on time.
By hiring CVT Contracting at project inception, we can work with you to develop contract documents that are owner-friendly and can focus on preconstruction services, value engineering, and cost estimating on the front end, which will help control costs and ensure adherence to the schedule. And since the design process often takes longer than expected, which can result in a shortened construction schedule, having the construction management firm involved from the beginning can assist in keeping all phases of the project on schedule and ensure optimal results.
Early involvement also allows the construction manager to conduct a constructability review and examine the construction documents before they go out for review. With this approach, minor revisions can be made to increase efficiencies.

Budget Creation
One of the major contributions we can make in the early phases of a project is to establish and confirm a realistic, practical construction budget. CVT Contracting handles your budget as carefully as we manage our own dollars. We practice a continuous process of cost control beginning on the day we are selected as part of the project team. On a daily basis, from pre-construction to close, we focus on realistic budgeting, accurate documentation and ongoing review of costs to achieve the highest efficiencies....
Using CVT's proven cost management system, we will "fill in the blanks" based on your needs and preferences. From this information, the feasibility of the project along with alternative design solutions can be established from the onset of the planning process. This procedure helps to minimize compromises in design, schedule and cost as the project develops. Our budget is tailored to the unique features, systems and level of quality you have selected for your project.
For any project, an accurate initial budget is critical. This early budget can aid in fundraising and long-term debt financing and serves as a cost model which the estimated cost of the evolving design can be measured. CVT's Budgeting process relies on years of data from previously completed projects. Let CVT help you create your construction budget and maximize the benefits of your investment.
