As a general contractor we are able to bring our knowledge and expertise to the construction process. After negotiating the terms that allow the project owner to cost control the job with Guaranteed Max Price, we will competitively bid the various trades and suppliers. As part of our negotiations with the owner, we constantly seek more cost-efficient and time-efficient means of constructing — this is commonly referred to as "value engineering." This is a critical practice in all of the services we offer. A competent full-time site manager will, in conjunction with the project manager, direct the work of the subcontractors as well as creating, maintaining and monitoring critical path schedules. As part of our standard practice we offer "open book cost accounting," which sets us apart from other construction companies.

The phrase "open book cost accounting" is an expression of intent; that intent is to demonstrate the commitment and confidence of partners in a contractual relationship to share information on income and expenditure.
