CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT

Winkelman Building Corporation offers Construction Management services that lend our tradition of safety and managerial effectiveness to a project, while allowing the client to remain in complete control of the bidding process.

When a client requests our construction management services, we represent the best interests of the client and act as their agent instead of having their architect do so. Our responsibilities as a construction management team include the monitoring of budgets throughout the project, while coordinating the trade contractors, containing costs and ensuring that the project remains on schedule. Through this process we will typically divide a project into as many as 30 or 40 bid divisions in an effort to solicit a greater number of bidders.

Primary benefits of construction management include:

• Allows selection of the construction
representative on a qualifications basis

• Creates earlier coordination between the
design and construction process

• Provides owner advocacy

• Provides comprehensive preliminary
planning, scheduling and budgeting

• Promotes greater involvement of local
contractors and suppliers

• Encourages competitive bidding on
multiple bid divisions

• Minimizes conflicts of interest;
no self-performance of work

• Includes no contractor mark-up

• Reduces change orders

• Returns unused funds back to the owner

• Affords sales tax savings on materials when applicable
