Management Services

Nations Construction Management, Inc. provides the following construction services. This is a brief description of each service. For a more detail discussion of one or more of the services provided, please contract us using the Information Request Form or call our offices at 713-863-7547, extension 303.

General Contracting
The traditional format for construction services. Nations Construction Management, Inc. can either hard bid or negotiate these services.

Hard Bid
Generally, competitive bidding is most effective when complete plans and specifications are provided by the owner. A list of competent contractors are invited to submit proposals on a carefully defined scope of work.

Incomplete or sketch plans can many times cost the owner more under the competitive bid process.

Negotiated Contracts
One of the most favored methods of negotiation tends to be the establishment of a Guaranteed Maximum Price with a fixed fee. This contract arrangement provides the benefit of guaranteeing the owner a maximum project cost while establishing a fixed fee for services on the project. The owner s project can be priced and construction started prior to the completion of all plans. Under the GMP contract, the owner receives benefit of all cost savings and discounts accrued during construction.

Given the depth of capabilities, owners may choose from specific services or turnkey packages under a variety of contractual arrangements.

Construction Management
Similar to the GMP negotiated format only this format brings the owner into the system by paying major subcontractors and suppliers direct. Under this format the construction manager provides management services with no risk or a guaranteed maximum price. This format offers many different scenarios and can be discussed further depending upon the needs of the clients.

Project Management
Under this format, Nations Construction Management, Inc. would handle the whole development process but would not act as general contractor. We would be involved in the program development, interview and award of design professionals, monitor and control the schedule of the total project, monitor and maintain budget, interview and pre-approve general contractors, manage bidding and contract award, manage the construction process and close out.

Design/Build
Having registered architects and engineers on staff, Nations Construction Management, Inc. can provide complete services including actual construction. This enables the owner to deal with an entity for one fee and provides the most service. This service incorporates all aspects of the development under Nations Construction Management, Inc.

Fee Consulting
Nations Construction Management, Inc. can provide any of the above services or any of the management services for a fee. This enables the owner to pick and choose the degree of service. Generally this category is relative to estimates, value engineering, scheduling or monitoring the contract administration
