Construction Management Services

Construction Management allows Starsom Group to manage your project from concept to completion, is typically provided for our clients who require a Cost/Plus solution to their construction needs. This transparent, open book solution allows Bear to be involved and to participate in the early stages of the design development.

This option also results in accurately determining progressive costs, value engineering, and allowing Starsom Group to better manage the construction budget throughout the entire design and construction process.

The builder and designer are both involved in the project from the start to ensure the highest value is achieved.

Owner’s Role:

• Owner hires an architect and Starsom Group at the start of the design process.
• Owner manages two contracts—one with the architect and one with Starsom Group

Summary:

• Early knowledge of total project cost, before design work is completed, at reduced initial investment
• Builder input during design, ongoing budgeting, and value-engineering
• Well-suited for fast-track projects
• Collaborative rather than adversarial relationship between architect and builder
• Approximately 85% of project is competitively bid
• Owner may participate in subcontractor selection
• Owner warrants architect’s work
• Construction management fee established at beginning of project
• Selection of builder is subjective
