Contract Options & Benefits

Traditional GC Contract Delivery

Strategy Builders can deliver general construction services in a contract agreement best fitted to each Client’s specific need.  Traditional delivery of this service can be competitive bid, negotiated, or qualifications-based, and can be contracted as a lump sum, guaranteed maximum price (with or without a savings split), or delivered “open book” with agreed upon values for general conditions and fee.

Design – Build Contract Delivery

Clients that prefer single source design and construction services should opt to place the general contractor as the dominant contracting entity in a design-build process.
