Our Services
At Contour Construction, we pride ourselves on finding the best ways to streamline your project, from managers to designers and general contracting.
Contour Construction handles every aspect of every project. More work for us, but fewer headaches and hassles for you. That’s the Contour Construction way of doing things right.
Pre-Construction Consulting
Pre-Construction Consulting
Pre-construction planning is the foundation of a successful project. We provide full-service planning to make sure every project is done on time and under budget. Our experienced team works early on the front side to find out if the project can even happen and if so answers the hard questions of: How much and how long? We assist in every facet from working with landlords, buyers/sellers, local municipalities, and engineers to collaborating with the owner’s legal team and financial lenders.
- Site selection
- Feasibility and estimating
- Tenant or buyer advocacy
- Existing condition assessments
- Budgeting and cost analysis
- Risk management
Contour Construction will be by your side throughout the entire pre-construction phase of your project, helping you make informed decisions in making the best next move for your operation.
Design-Build
Design-Build
Traditional project delivery relies on a stressed owner balancing the relationships and contracts between architects, engineers, builders, and often other 3rd party vendors. This means challenging accountability and a lot of finger-pointing if conflicts arise and no matter how carefully you plan, conflicts WILL arise.
We believe that the less stress and worry for the owner during a build, the better it is for everyone. Here are just a few advantages to our Design-Build project delivery program:
- The most cost-effective and fastest delivery method.
- Allow owners to start construction sooner, even before the design plans are complete, and set the GMP as the design develops.
- Provides design-builders’ expertise when choosing materials, implementing methods, and meeting overall requirements of the project, which optimizes speed and cost.
- Offers implied fitness of design plans because the design team and build team are under the same contract.
- Limits finger-pointing between designer and builder and solves the liability gap that the owner faces.
- Doesn’t require 100% finished design before selecting the build team.
- Reduces paper shuffling, removes approval process, and streamlines the submittals while still safeguarding the owner.
Contour will be your one-stop shop for a seamless, turnkey project.
We believe that the less stress and worry for the owner during a build, the better it is for everyone. Our design-build services bring everyone together to handle:
- Design
- Engineering
- Scheduling
- Budget
- Construction
Construction Management
Construction Management
Have you ever thought about everything that goes into a building project? We have. In fact, it’s all we think about! The two most common forms of construction management are:
- CM Agent – we operate strictly as the owner’s representative and advocate with no construction work or contracted construction work performed.
- CM At-Risk – we operate as the owner’s representative and advocate and at the appropriate time we provide a GMP for the construction work or portion of the construction work.
The totality of the construction can be complicated and daunting for most. Our team of skilled construction managers bridges the gap between you (the owner) and all the players involved in your project. We always advocate for your best interests, ensuring that your budget is well-spent, and your vision is realized.
From hiring securing project entitlements, testing, negotiating low-risk contracts, and contractor qualifications to suggesting money-saving materials and methods, our construction management keeps your best interests in mind from start to finish. Some of the major advantages to construction management project delivery include:
- Assistance in selecting the most qualified team members.
- Promotes collaboration and harmony among team players.
- Removes communication barriers, which reduces delays and cost overruns.
- Provides a higher level of cost control by defining overhead and profit prior to the project’s start.
- Invites key suppliers to be part of the design process and gets earlier participation of the trade contractors who will be completing the work.
- Puts the contractor on the “same side of the table” as the owner and is monetarily incentivized to work at the owner’s best interest.
- Allows for more flexibility in the design and simplifies the submittal process.
- Less cost impact to the owner when changes in scope arise.
Contour will be your advocate providing first-class expertise and risk management for your most complex or mission-critical project.
