CVT has many years experience in residential and commercial construction, with the focus on providing Construction Management services to clients throughout Washington, DC and the Northern Virginia region. We offer an alternative procurement route to Design and Build or traditional contracting....
Collaborating with clients to deliver their buildings within their time scales and budgets, we provide 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. We 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 us 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.
