Construction Management and General Contractor
Viridian Construction Management (VCM) strives to offer the highest quality design, site preparation, cost estimates, construction, repair, and alteration to clients. At VCM, we offer our clients the option of letting us act as the Construction Manager and General Contractor in order to create a reduction in risks and costs for them during the construction process.
This process is a unique method that is used to accelerate project delivery, in the CM/GC design the project owner hires a contractor to provide feedback during the design phase before the start of construction. This Design-Build process seeks to shorten project completion times by having the same party handle the design and construction phases.
There are advantages to using this process. The contractor acts as the consultant in the design process and can offer new innovations, best practices, and reduced costs and schedule risks as a result of the contractor’s years of proven experience doing the actual work. Viridian Construction Management maintains the highest standards of service allowing it to become an industry-recognized company.
Additional Benefits of the VCM's Process
This process will encourage both Viridian and the project owners to look at all options including using innovative techniques or approaches that reduce time and cost.
Project owners are able to understand the risk and explore mitigation options with feedback provided by Viridian.
Viridian is able to review the designs and provide feedback, answer designer questions, and provide changes. By including Viridian in the review process the designer can produce better designs that reduce issues in construction and prevent change orders that can lead to project overruns.
Value engineering is part of the Design-Build process where budget shapes the design approaches. With Viridian as part of the design team, we are able to provide cost estimates for all designs and alternatives within the design phase. The project owner can use the estimates to make informed decisions around project costs.
The Design-Build process allows Viridian to begin planning the construction schedule during the design phase. By planning during the design phase the team can view how construction will impact traffic and adjust the construction schedule accordingly to minimize traffic impacts.
