General Contracting
When selected
as the general contractor for a construction project, H. J. High usually joins
the project team at the conclusion of the design phase. General contracting services
typically provide owners with a traditional design-bid-build approach for their
construction projects. We can perform general contracting assignments on either
a negotiated contract or bid basis.
Design-Build
H. J. High
has participated in many successful design-build projects. With this delivery
approach we generally act as the single point of contact for the client and accept
responsibility for both design and construction of a project. The design-build
approach provides owners with a means for obtaining the input of engineering,
architectural and construction team members at the earliest stage of a project.
This parallel coordination of construction and design issues results in cost-effective
project design and delivery.
Construction
Management
When engaged
to provide construction-management services, we typically join the project team
through either a negotiated contract or bid process during the design phase.
Working
with the architect and engineers, our role is to bring value to the project by
achieving optimum cost, schedule and product quality. We provide construction-management
services either as an agent for the owner, whereby the client holds all the trade
contracts, or on an at-risk basis, whereby we hold all the trade contracts and
are responsible for guaranteeing performance.
