Project Management / General Contracting (PM/GC):
This approach (also known as project Management At Risk) brings together the owner, architect/engineer and TEG as PM/GC. These three groups work cooperatively as a team to provide the best project solution. During the design phase, TEG provides cost estimates, value engineering, scheduling and construction planning. At the completion of design, TEG bids the work to subcontractor trades, provides a Guaranteed Maximum Price and provides full-time on-site construction supervision, as well as overseeing the warranty period of the building.
Construction Management / Owner's Representative:
This method is similar to CM/GC, except that the owner holds the contracts with a general contractor or multiple prime subcontractors. In this role, TEG is the owner's consultant (rather than at-risk contractor). This works well when the project requires extensive on-site staff resources beyond the owner's available personnel.
Program Management:
This method is primarily used when the owner has multiple projects to organize and manage. TEG is a consultant to the owner, organizing and coordinating the needs of all projects to keep the design, construction, occupancy and maintenance programs on track.
Design/Build:
With this method, the owner signs one contract for design and construction services, providing a single point of accountability. TEG with a qualified architect/engineer to deliver these services.
