Pre-Construction Estimating Program
Davenport Contracting provides a pre-construction estimating/budgeting service for both the architect and prospective client who have a desire to build a residential project but want to know budget costs prior to finalized working drawings and specifications. We will work with both the architect and client from the initial schematic drawing phase to final working plans making recommendations to achieve the client's wish list in light of cost concerns.
Construction Management Services
If you have the idea and concepts, but need help with putting together the details, the Construction Management Process may be best for your project. The scope of work evolves during the course of the building process. For each phase of the project from pre-construction to final completion, a budget is created based on the scope of work as directed by the client and architect. Davenport maintains a full-time estimator on staff to review the financial budget numbers for each phase of work. You will pay Davenport a fixed fee based on time and materials. Design/build changes can be made during the building process. Davenport can review your project with you to help you decide if this process is best for you.
Fixed Bid Services
Ideal for clients with projects that are fully specified and ready to build when construction is started. The project is priced from final construction drawings and specifications. A price and substantial completion date are agreed upon by both parties.
