Construction Technologies, L.L.C. (CT) provides a cost-effective enhancement to new construction, renovations, and historic restoration of commercial and multi-family projects.

Creating Value Through the Construction Management Concept
Construction Technologies typically serves as a construction manager instead of a traditional general contractor. In a construction management role, CT is the advocate of the owner and is dedicated to ensuring the owner receives the highest quality product at the lowest possible cost, and in a timely manner. By working closely with the architect and contractors, CT finds every possible way to save the owner money, even if it requires designer constructibility changes. CT makes certain the plans and specifications concisely meet the client’s needs. During construction, CT oversees the subcontractors, processes all draw requests, secures lien waivers and prepares payments accordingly. CT conducts punchout inspections at the conclusion of construction and follows up to see that deficiencies are corrected. Progress schedules and financial reports are submitted to the client detailing budgets and time frames.

Creating Value Through a Comprehensive Cost Database
A comprehensive cost database has been developed by Construction Technologies for a variety of trades and materials including demolition, carpentry, sheetrock, painting, wallcovering, carpeting, plumbing, electrical, HVAC and millwork. This database is invaluable for comparing subcontractor bids and determining when they are out of line. The more work CT coordinates, the more effective the database has become. This database is also helpful in providing preliminary cost estimates for budget purposes prior to obtaining bids.

Creating Value Through National Supplier Relationships
In many instances it can be beneficial to require subcontractors to utilize materials and fixtures purchased through Construction Technologies’ national supplier relationships. CT has established such relationships as a result of large volume purchases of sheetrock, paint, carpet, light fixtures, doors and frames, hardware, cove base, ceiling tiles, wallcovering and other supplies. These discounts can be in excess of 20% on material costs and then passed on directly to the owner.

Creating Value Through Fixed Fees
Construction Technologies structures its construction management fees differently from traditional industry practices. The normal method is to charge a percentage of the total project cost as a construction management fee. The CT approach is to negotiate a flat fee with the client before the project is started and to adhere to this fee regardless of whether or not the project cost increases. This removes any perceived incentive to increase the project cost for the purpose of achieving higher fees were they based upon a percentage. Further, 100% of all savings generated on projects involving negotiated contracts are returned to the client.

Creating Value Through a Strong Team
A strong, innovative team is the hallmark of Construction Technologies. The CT staff includes experienced managers and staff who have a combined background of more than 100 years.
