Construction Management as Constructor
Grunley Construction is skilled at providing Construction Management as Constructor (CMc) services [also called Construction Manager "at risk" (CM/GC)]. Under a joint venture Gilbane Building Company and Grunley Construction Company were awarded the $200 million CMc contract for modernizing the Herbert C. Hoover Building in downtown Washington, DC. Preconstruction services for Phases 1-8 and construction for Phase 1 are complete. The joint venture was recently awarded phases 2 and 3 of construction. Phase 2 is underway.
The CMc delivery system allows us to work with the owner and the design team from the earliest stages of a project. At the outset we can help analyze the facilities program from a construction perspective, define the scope of work to meet the owner's needs and budget constraints, and establish realistic schedule and performance milestones. As the project moves into the construction phase under the CMc approach, Grunley, along with the owner, establishes an appropriate point in time when the construction risk is transferred to us as the general contractor. This, of course, is our base business and the owner is further served because the associated risks of general contracting are familiar to Grunley.
