Commercial Construction HOuston Management Services
When you are looking to hire a professional team to help them manage your commercial construction Houston TX project, but also want to maintain control over it, an at risk, with or without a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) is among your best options for delivery methods. With commercial management, contractors can quote the cost of general conditions and mark-up rate on job costs, and after an agreement is reached the contractor solicits bids from subcontractors.
PROS
- Because the construction team can be formed early in the design process, the design and construction process can overlap, which will inevitably save time and money.
- With the many phases of commercial construction overlapping, there will be more direct communication between all parties, which generally results in a smoother build with less miscommunication.
- Tends to be more consistent and collaborative than traditional Design-Bid-Build.
- Budgets can be adjusted throughout the process.
- The Owner, Contractor, Engineer and Architect can all work together to hire the best possible subcontractors.
- The Architect and Engineer don’t have to focus so heavily on creating perfectly defined plans since the back and forth can happen in real time. This results in saving time and money.
CONS
- The Contractor has less incentive to find ways to cut costs.
- Costs can fluctuate more than other delivery methods, due to economic influence, during the completion time.
TIPS
- Construction Management is the preferred agreement when a firm contract price is not required upfront and an ultra-fast delivery is not required.

Unit Cost Contract
This option is based on a pre-defined cost of work based on square foot, linear foot, cubic foot, or some other method. Unit cost contracts are recommended for projects where the scope of work required is not clearly defined and when scheduling is a priority. Often these contracts are based on a published unit cost database such as R.S. Means®, Xactimate® or other resource.
Design, Bid & Build
This option separates the steps of the construction project, starting when the building owner hires Architects and Engineers to finish the design and specify the details of the project before moving forward with the bid and build. The Architect then acts as the owner’s agent and publishes the project for Competitive Bids from General Contractors to complete the build based off of the specifications.
Time & Material Based Contract
This option establishes the timeline along with pricing and mark-up before anything. The Owner will hire the Contractor, then the Contractor self performs, subcontracts, and manages the entire project based on the agreed upon timeline and cost. This is a great option for Owners that are most focused on finishing a project on time and on budget.
