Design - Build Construction Services
This method
of construction allows the client to enter into a contract with D.G. Granade, who will then contract with a team of design professionals as consultants.
This method is used to minimize the risk of the project for the client as well as reduce the overall project
schedule by overlapping the design and construction phases of the project. This process allows a "team" approach to the project with D.G. Granade
providing a single source for the design and construction of the project. The communication is greatly
enhanced through this process and the client receives increased accountability from D.G. Granade, as well.
This method also allows D.G. Granade to provide value engineering and design alternatives throughout the process to ensure that the quality of the
project is not compromised while maintaining the project budget. A guaranteed maximum priced is developed for this type of project during the design phase.
Design - Assist Construction Services
This method of construction allows the client to enter into a contract with D.G. Granade
as the contractor for the const4ruction and into seperate contracts with the architect in order to maintain ownership
of the design documents. This method is similar to the design-build approach with D.G. Granade providing value engineering suggestions, budgeting
and constructability reviews throughout the design process. This allows the project to remain within the client's budget and schedule
while D.G. Granade helps ensure that the project meets the needs of the client. A guaranteed maximum price is developed for this type of project near
completion of the design phase.

Design - Bid - Build Construction Services
This method of construction has the client working directly with the architect and design team with no
input from D.G. Granade. The design is completedwith drawings and specifications, which have been thoroughly reviewed by the client and architect,
and the project is put out to bid. This process allows the client the ability to receive and review bids for the project and
generally award the project based on the lowest bid by a qualified contractor. Should the project design cause the project to come in above budget,
the client can then elect to revise the design, abandon the project completely, or enter into a contract with D.G. Granade,
who will then assist in reducing costs through the value-engineering process. This method of construction often results in general
contractors bidding the project to have a "cheaper is better" mentality, thereby reducing overall quality of materials
in order to secure the project as it becomes purely cost driven through this method. There is also very little opportunity
for input in regard to value-engineering alternatives with this method. This method is generally more costly than either
design-build or design-assist and generally takes longer to complete the project.
Pre-construction and Construction Services
D.G. Granade pre-construction services are included in all design-build
and design-assist projects. Pre construction services include design meetings and constructability reviews, construction
cost budgeting and estimating, value-engineering, and sub-contractor trade bidding and qualification reviews.
D. G. Granade construction services are included in all projects. Construction services include project safety reviews,
scheduling, project administration, cost management, scope change reviews and sub-contractor management.
D.G. Granade strives to be an active participant in all phases of the project, from design to construction,
using all available resources to ensure that each project is completed on time, within budget, and with a level of quality that meets
or exceeds our client's expectations.
