If you don’t have extensive construction experience or the time to supervise the construction process, hiring us to act as your construction manager will serve you well. Summit Design + Build provides commercial construction management services tailored to owners who want professional oversight without losing control of their project.
Our Construction Management services allow our clients to retain control while placing day-to-day construction decisions in the experienced hands of our project management team. Through our commercial construction project management approach, we become involved early in the process — ideally during the planning stages — and find cost-effective solutions for project challenges that comply with the design intent and overall project objectives including time, cost, and quality. As one of the trusted commercial construction management companies in the region, we help owners navigate complex decisions with confidence.
We can also act as Construction Manager at Risk, which expands our role as Construction Manager. As your commercial construction management company, we assume the responsibilities of delivering the project at a guaranteed maximum price, including engaging subcontractors for the purpose of completing the construction of the project.
As the client representative through construction, our team’s specialized level of knowledge, experience, and expertise — especially for complex projects — greatly reduces the level of risk for the owner. This is particularly valuable for clients seeking commercial real estate construction management and a partner who will protect their budget, schedule, and overall project success.
