Design-Build
GWG has spent the last fifteen years developing the tools and skills required to efficiently and accurately deliver projects using the Design-Build approach
Approach for Design-Build Project Delivery
Pre-Construction Services
GWG and its team support our clients in the development of their program, providing insight into design considerations and constructability options. GWG also looks to identify business related impacts and works with your team to address them proactively. The program will become the basis of design.
Bid packages include but are not limited to:
- Construction Documents
- Scope of Work
- Sample Subcontract
- Insurance Requirements
- Bid Requirements
- General Conditions Requirements
- Project Schedule and Anticipated Start/End Dates
- Additional Owner or AHJ Requirements
- Bid Submission Requirements and Structure
- VE Options – prepared by Sub and/or GWG
Each qualified respondent is de-scoped, and pending awardees are required to meet in person with GWG to ensure that their bid complies with all requirements of the project. Once bids have gone through this process, GWG will develop a final analysis of all vendors and options and will work with the owner to make recommendations and selections.
Throughout this process, GWG will work on the development of a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) for delivery of the project and proceed with contract document addendums as needed to reflect the final price and scope of deliverables agreed to between the Owner and GWG.
Safety
GWG’s project-specific safety manual and written contracts with trade subcontractors require compliance with OSHA and all national, state, local, and owner standards. A project specific Emergency Response Procedure is developed for each project site and is made part of project documentation available both on PROCORE and hard copy at the site. Both the Project Executive and Sr. Project Manager will have a minimum of OSHA 30 Hour Construction Safety Training. All other operations and field safety personnel will be required to have a minimum of OSHA 10 Hour Construction Safety Training. Daily inspections and weekly tool-box talks ensure all personnel on-site are aware of their duties to keep themselves and one another out of harms way. Those who do not comply after one documented warning will be removed from the site until GWG determines there is an appropriate remedy.
Each subcontractor is also required, as part of its contract requirements, to submit a written safety manual and a competent person to conduct periodic site inspections. The requirements of this manual do not override GWG’s manual or any AHJ standards; they only supplement with more restrictive requirements when present.
Project Management, Documentation, and Cost Control
GWG provides this service at no additional cost to its clients, as we believe that open, honest communication is the only way to do business. We like to think that we are at the cross roads where construction meets professionalism.
