How we work

Four delivery models. One standard of accountability.

Contract structure is a means, not a brand. We offer four. Three construction management modes and a hard bid general contractor mode, each suited to a different stage, risk allocation, and owner appetite.

Design Assist · AIA B132

Design Assist (CM-Adviser)

Brought in during schematic or design development, we sit on the design team as the constructability, cost, and schedule voice. The architect leads design; we make sure what gets drawn can actually get built on time, on budget, in compliance.

  • Constructability and means and methods review at SD, DD, and 50/95% CD
  • Real time cost estimating and value engineering during design
  • Trade partner outreach and prequalification before bid documents are issued

Best fit: complex healthcare renovations, DSA school projects, lab build-outs.

CM at Risk · GMP · AIA A133/A134

CM at Risk (CMAR)

We carry the construction risk under a Guaranteed Maximum Price. The owner gets one accountable party, transparent open book accounting, and a contractor engaged since design, not a stranger brought in at bid day.

  • Open book trade bid leveling and subcontract award
  • GMP set at end of design with documented contingencies
  • Field execution: schedule, safety, quality, change order discipline, monthly G702/G703 billing

Best fit: hospitals, public agencies with CMR statutes, private owners with capital partners.

CM Agency · Owner’s Representative

CM Agency

Pure professional services. We represent the owner during procurement, bid review, GC selection, and field oversight. No construction contract, no markup on labor or materials, no conflict of interest.

  • GC selection assistance: RFP development, interviews, and scoring
  • Field representation: weekly walks, RFI review, submittal review, pay app review
  • Change order negotiation on the owner’s behalf

Best fit: small public agencies without in-house PM staff, owner-developers, family offices.

General Contracting · Lump Sum · AIA A101/A102

General Contractor

We carry the full construction risk on a fixed price. You hand us a complete set of drawings and specifications, we deliver the project for the bid amount. Schedule, safety, quality, and every subcontractor under our roof.

  • Hard bid pricing from completed construction documents
  • Single point of accountability through closeout and warranty
  • Subcontractor selection, contracting, and field management

Best fit: public hard bid procurement, owners with complete CDs, private clients who want one price and one number.

Sectors

Where we work.

Regulated, time sensitive, and accountability heavy work. The projects where attention to scope, schedule, and risk earns the engagement, whether we’re managing the build or carrying the contract.

Healthcare

OSHPD and HCAI jurisdiction work, medical office building tenant improvements, clinic build outs, and ICRA phased renovations. We coordinate IOR oversight, anchor and bracing review, hot work permitting, and infection control phasing in occupied facilities.

Public

K through 14 school districts under DSA jurisdiction, special districts (water, wastewater, parks, fire), and small to mid Bay Area cities. Prevailing wage compliance, SB 854 / DIR registration, and the full set of public works contractor obligations.

Private

Life sciences and biotech tenant improvements, technology tenants, hospitality and restaurant operators with hard open milestones, and small mixed use developers whose capital partners expect a construction manager on the team.

What sets us apart

Four principles. No exceptions.

01 · Seniority

One senior on every project.

No bait and switch. The senior who sells the work runs the work, through award, GMP, and closeout.

02 · Continuity

Estimated by the person managing it.

Preconstruction cost work and construction execution stay in one set of hands. No handoff losses, no surprise scopes mid build.

03 · Cost feedback

Real time cost feedback during design.

Weekly cost updates from SD through CD. Owners know what they’re spending before they sign the GMP, not after.

04 · Schedule

Schedules that mean something.

Honest dates at award. Weekly look aheads. If a date moves, you hear it first, with the reason and the recovery plan.
