The advantage of bringing us in early on in project design is the substantial cost savings that comes along with receiving these wraparound services, as well as helping to minimize scope gap when the project moves into construction. Brown Construction can provide the following preconstruction services in the planning and design phases of a project (additional services are provided as-needed).

• Constructability reviews
• Value engineering & cost analysis (incl. life cycle cost analysis)
• Cost estimating (conceptual and detailed)
• Project scheduling
• Building information modeling (BIM)
• Facility & technology assessments
• Design assistance
• Consultant selection assistance
• End-user collaboration

We provide preconstruction and construction services, but do not self-perform any portion of the work. Construction management delivery methods are below. Typically, all subcontracts are procured and administered by Brown and we guarantee the schedule and cost (construction management at-risk). If the client prefers to administer all subcontracts directly, we provide our construction management services on a fee basis.

• Construction management at-risk
• Construction management

We provide all services for planning, design, construction and commissioning of a project. We hire the architect, engineers and all consultants required to meet all of the project needs. This team works closely with the client from the very beginning of the project through commissioning and warranty. “Design-build” describes both the service provided as well as the delivery method. 

We are contracted early in the planning or design phases of a project to work collaboratively with the client, project architect, engineers and other consultants that the client has hired. We perform budget/cost updates regularly throughout the design process to ensure the project can be built within budget. “Design-assist” describes both the service provided as well as the delivery method.

We work as a construction manager through preconstruction, then as a general contractor from the subcontractor bidding process through construction, procuring and administering all subcontracts and possibly self-performing some work. “CM/GC” describes both the services provided as well as the delivery method.
