Bailey-Harris Construction Co., Inc. believes that the Pre-Construction process is one of the most important phases of the building process. During this phase, team relationships are built between the Owner, Architect and Contractor. This relationship is the catalyst that will carry the project from construction through closeout. This early interaction encourages and develops a foundation of communication as each team member takes ownership in the decision-making process for the project. To achieve these goals, we place a strong emphasis on understanding expectations and with that we address budget parameters, schedule constraints, phasing requirements and quality expectations.
Bailey-Harris Construction Co., Inc. has participated in a large number of highly successful design/build projects, acting as a single point of contact for the client during the design and construction phases. The design/build approach provides owners with an efficient way to interface with the engineering, architectural and construction team members early and facilitates an efficient, cost effective parallel coordination structure. As with all our projects, we will promote partnering from the beginning so that expectations are understood and success is driven by the entire team.
As Construction Managers, Bailey-Harris Construction Co., Inc. is prepared to provide service as either an owner’s agent, whereby the client holds all trade contracts, or on an “at risk” basis where we become responsible for guaranteeing performance. Whatever the delivery method, we join the team through a negotiated contract or the typical bid process and leverage our diverse experience to bring value to the project. Our goals are always the same; to minimize cost, maximize efficiency and quality so that the entire team is successful.
Recently, Bailey-Harris Construction Co., Inc has begun the use of Building Information Modeling (“BIM”) to enhance our Pre-Construction efforts and as a tool during construction to identify and resolve conflicts prior to work being placed ultimately saving time and money. Although there are many benefits to BIM we use the technology for visualization, phasing and coordination of the project before and during construction. BIM is a process that facilitates information sharing between clients, designers, contractors, subcontractors and vendors. When utilized BIM models are shared between the team and eventually transferred to the owner for use in facility management.
