Many of our Owners are recognizing the advantages of bypassing traditional construction delivery methods and choosing McAlvain's unique approach to the Design-Build Delivery process. McAlvain Design Build's (MDBI) comprehensive design and construction services and proven project execution procedures provides our clients with a single source of contact to deliver their projects. Our team's combined expertise in a multitude of differing market segments brings cohesion to the design-build team allowing projects to be completed in shorter time frames and in the most cost-effective manner possible.
As your trusted advocate we are the final authority in the Construction Management (CM) delivery method. This procurement is typically used by public sector clients who must adhere to regulations and fulfill specific and layered requirements. McAlvain has successfully completed projects under this delivery method in both the public and private sectors allowing us to gain experience and an understanding of how best to represent our clients by utilizing our construction management expertise. Our clients are responsible for procuring and holding all trade contracts for the construction phase, which we can coordinate as the CM.
Value engineering and value analysis studies are essential components of McAlvain's extensive slate of pre-construction Services. Our ability to influence project costs is optimized during the pre-construction phase of our projects where our goals are always focused on enhancing the project value. Based on historical cost data and extensive similar experience, our project teams will provide value engineering and recommendations on the feasibility of construction methods, availability of materials and labor, time requirements for procurement and installation of materials, mechanical, electrical, plumbing and process systems and equipment, and other factors related to the overall project costs.
General Contracting is most commonly described as the "traditional" method of project delivery within the construction industry. In most cases, it involves competitive bidding by general contractors resulting in a lump sum contract. McAlvain thrives on this competitive process and is dedicated to providing our clients with the highest value and quality possible. Our team of construction professionals have the knowledge and relative experience to guarantee success in all aspects of your project. We have established a consistent track record of delivering our projects on time and within budget without compromise to safety, quality and efficiency.
