3. Schedule

Let's face it, the construction industry has a bad reputation when it comes to being on time. Home construction frequently stalls as contractors have material ordering delays and time is lost while architects provide clarification on construction details.

By bringing the contractor on board early in our integrated approach, we form a strong team that can solve numerous scheduling issues such as:

• working with the contractor during the design phases to solve most issues before they cause delays during construction

• enabling contractors to order long lead items before construction begins

• eliminating lengthy and cumbersome bidding processes

Our integrated project delivery saves so much time, it's almost like cheating.
