Expertise
- PreConstruction- Preconstruction sets the tone for project success. At CMG Midwest, we have found that five primary factors have a big impact on the outcome of a project in the early planning stages:
- Detailed scope – Identifying all required program elements and desired program options
- Risk mitigation – Identifying constraints and potential solutions
- Schedule – Optimizing means, methods, resources and sequencing
- Budget – Pricing complete scope, understanding schedule, identifying risk impacts and identifying cost options
- Owner feedback/buy-in – Making meaningful and timely decisions with clear communication
CMG Midwest has a long and successful track record of completing projects on schedule and within budget — without sacrificing quality and design intent. We accomplish this by selecting highly qualified team members who understand the value of fluid communication, streamlined decision-making, and integrated teamwork. The preconstruction phase of a project represents our best opportunity to define and manage scope while maintaining an achievable schedule and working within the bounds of a target budget.
- Contracting Methods- Choosing the right delivery method can mean the difference between success and failure. CMG Midwest has experience working with various project delivery methods, including both traditional (Design-Bid Build and CM at Risk) and alternative (design-build, integrated project delivery). These delivery methods present varying risk models and advantages for owners, and can be tailored to the specific needs of the project.
Project Delivery Types:
- Design-Build (DB): CMG Midwest is very fluent of the Design Build process. Our performance is based on our people, processes, collaboration and use of technology. We are committed proponents of Design Build, as it promotes a collaborative setting for all parties to come together to achieve success.
- Design-Bid-Build (DBB): As one of the Midwest's premier contractors, CMG knows the true value of putting work in place across multiple markets. Our estimators have an intimate understanding of the true costs of buildings for our clients.
- Integrated Project Delivery (IPD): CMG Midwest has a deep understanding of the contractual and behavioral requirements needed for a multidisciplinary team – and we have the infrastructure, culture, and systems in place for IPD success.
- Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR or CM/GC): CMG Midwest strives to identify and assess risks and proactively mitigate potential issues through CMAR and CM/GC.
- Virtual Design & Architectual Modeling- CMG Midwest possesses a keen understanding of both the technology and the process required for its successful implementation. Our extensive know-how equips us to add value throughout the entire life cycle of a project — from its earliest conceptual stages, through design and construction, and its operational life.
Success in VDC requires more than just a firm grasp of the technology. We place a premium on early team integration, goal congruency, and extensive communication among project stakeholders, knowing the value it brings to the construction process. This collaborative approach has become an integral part of our building process.
