Owner Benefits
Projects start and finish sooner. Work begins before construction drawings and specs/bid documents are completely finished.
ECI successfully initiated earthwork for Broomfield Commons Park 6 months before construction drawings were 100% completed .
Positive team relationship /partnership established between ECI, owner and designer early in design phase, which enhances workflow and communication, and keeps costs low.
Better budget controls are put in place when ECI is involved from Day 1.
ECI reviews construction documents for constructability and value-engineering opportunities –looking for ways to enhance a project while reducing costs.
ECI selects best-value tradesmen the same way consultants are hired – based on price, historical performance, financial capability and overall accountability. The result: superior quality workmanship is assured, which can suffer with “low-bid” subs.
Project scopes are bid closer to time of performance, alleviating the pressure of price increases and volatile availability of materials.
