By utilizing the Construction Management / General Contractor project delivery method the owner is able to maximize potential savings.  Having the contractor involved at the earliest stages of the project allows for budgeting to begin early in the project and allows for changes in the project to be made during conceptual design and design development phases.  Making changes at these early phases of the project is most cost effective.  The owner receives the benefit of cost-reducing changes, and spends far less implementing the changes.  As the Construction Manager (CM) / General Contractor (GC), Eby brings a wealth of experience to your project. 

We provide value to the construction process in three distinct phases:

Preconstruction Services

An effective preconstruction process keeps the project focused and on purpose.  Our Preconstruction Services include scope and budget management (cost models), value analysis, and constructability review and scheduling.  These combined with our other services are valuable in assisting the team to develop a plan, and an approach to achieving that plan within the agreed upon guidelines and expectations for cost, schedule, and final project outcome. 

Bid Packaging

As plans and specifications for portions of the project are completed, bid packages will be prepared and bids will be solicited from local subcontractors.  Eby will prequalify subcontractors that are bidding on critical scopes of work.  Eby has qualified leadership as well as tradesmen with the ability to self perform significant portions of the work.  Eby will bid on portions of the work as a subcontractor, providing additional value to the owner.

Construction Services

Through our experience on similar projects, the team has developed a process for the construction management system of project delivery, which facilitates clear and timely communication between the Owner, the CM and the Designer.  Our system involved the use of standard forms that are transmittable on paper or electronically.  The maximum benefits of construction management delivery are dependent upon the ability of the entire team to do four things: meet regularly, make quick decisions, communicate those decisions to affected parties, and implement the decisions in a timely manner.  By utilizing the system the construction management team works together for the success of the project.
