Pre-Construction and Design Phase
Once a construction budget has been established, Cord Construction works closely with the client and the design team to develop an optimal cost and scheduling framework. As design progresses, the client has the opportunity to review costs and make crucial decisions affecting the project.
The professionals at Cord Construction rely on their diverse experience to identify and address the economic and scheduling issues of a project – this allows us to address potential problems early on in the process.
One Point of Contact
Cord Construction emphasizes a single source of responsibility from the project conception to completion. Each of our projects has a highly skilled project manager who assumes full responsibility for the project from beginning to end. This provides the client with full-time direct access to a single key decision maker responsible for monitoring costs and progress and provides continuity throughout the project.
Technology Advantage
At Cord Construction, we use state-of-the-art computer-assisted estimation, scheduling, information, safety and cost management systems. These systems are continuously updated throughout the project and provide real-time access for our team and the client to requests for changes, cost estimates, cash flow, materials, schedules and subcontractors.
Safety & Continuing Education
Safety is one of our top priorities, and our commitment to safety can be seen on every one of our job sites. We provide continuous safety training, evaluation and process improvement – all of which benefits not only our employees but our clients as well.
