CMC:  Construction Management, Constructor, This is a construction management contract where we hold all the subcontracts;  we provide a total lump sum price upon receipt of bids from trade contracts then we are solely responsible for the successful & timely completion of the project.

This method provides the owner with our involvement early in the design & planning of the project.  We work directly with your design professional to develop a schedule for the overall project.  We provide estimates right from the very beginning based on napkin sketches and general vision.  We update these estimates as the design progresses.  We provide the owner with cost and schedule implications of various design scenarios so that informed decisions can be made.

At the conclusion of the design phase we solicit competitive subcontract bids from prequalified bidders and then we provide the owner a firm, lump sum price for the work.
The project then proceeds as normal construction contract.

The advantages to the owner are better cost control, shorter overall project time, and better quality control of both the design and construction.

General Contracting:  Perhaps you have a project designed and simply need a great contractor to price it out competitively and then construct.  This is a traditional, old school delivery system and wholly appropriate for many projects.

Design – Build:  This approach is similar to CMc except we are directly responsible for the design as well as construction.  This method is suitable when you as owner are fairly sure of your desired scope, budget and schedule.  The advantage to the owner can be economy and speed; however it may not be appropriate for complex projects with an undefined or undeveloped scope.

Trade Contracting:  AZSI is unique among construction management companies in that we retain the ability to self perform certain trades.  This service can provide our owners with more competitive pricing, better quality control and better schedule control.

We have the talent to perform these trades:  Excavation, demolition, concrete construction, rough & finish carpentry, architectural woodwork, drywall and acoustical work.
