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 recently awarded the $40 million CMc contract for Preconstruction and Construction Services for Phase 1 and Preconstruction Services for Phases 2-8 to modernize the Herbert C. Hoover Building in downtown Washington, DC. The firm is also using this delivery method for the complete renovation of Liberty Park at Tyson's, an office building in Vienna, VA.

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.
