Why bring in a Trade Partner early for design review?
Cost certainty is a critical part of any project, especially when a GMP (guaranteed maximum price) contract is in play.
- Begin the process of early collaboration to gain trust between the parties involved
- Provide ‘checks’ for design as drawing sets evolve
- Provide predictability for construction budgets as the drawing sets evolve
- Early input for potential construction constraints that would occur in the field
- Early value based input by providing alternate solutions to help maintain or reduce cost while keeping the design intent in mind
- Kick off the project earlier – realize the value of early material procurement, early submittals, and additional time for preconstruction and project planning prior to work commencement onsite
