Benefits of Using CMS Group as 

Your Construction Management Consultant

 

  

  

  

  

  • Time  -  You will physically spend less time on the project while it is being designed and constructed because CMS Group is managing the process for you. With our construction experience, we will be your 'eyes and ears' making sound design and construction decisions. We will always make our recommendations to you with your best interests at heart. How much is your time worth?   
       
  • Design Management - We will find the 'right fit' Design Team and manage the design effort as it relates to your program needs, efficient use of space, materials and overall review of the construction documents for errors and omissions. This effort not only will reduce the time frame that you will need to spend reviewing the documents, but will also save you money by completing the documents in a timely manner along with a higher level of accuracy. In the end, this will reduce construction change orders, overall project duration and associated costs.

 

  • Construction Management  -  By assisting you in selecting the 'right fit' General Contractor, either by negotiation or by competitive bidding, we can ensure that you will have the best Team to construct your project at a fair market fee. Additionally, we will review the proposed general contract language and make recommendations that are fair. During construction, we pay specific attention to the General Contractor's schedule, pay applications, change order requests, and quality of in-place product. All of these items, closely watched and monitored by CMS Group, will keep the General Contractor on track with the schedule (time) and fair with their pay requests and change orders (money).   

  

Our Company's services will ultimately save you three times our fees. For example, recently we negotiated a Design Build Contract for a Client saving him 4% on the overall project costs without turning the first shovel of dirt! The project was completed six weeks ahead of schedule with over $100K under budget, primarily due to the consulting advice of CMS Group.
