In addition to our vast experience, the advantages and benefits of employing Brigham Construction Co., Inc. to provide Construction Management Services are as follows:
1.We have a qualified team of experienced architects and engineers.

The Brigham Construction team can assist in your land purchase and if required, prepare necessary site, engineering and landscape plans for municipal zoning & special use approvals.
2.You will receive early cost estimating input.
We will provide a budget estimate based on conceptual design ideas as they are developed. We will provide value engineering.
3.It is the goal of the Construction Manager to define each subcontractor’s scope of work, clarify the contract drawings and documents, and resolve subcontractor questions and concerns so that they have a thorough understanding of the project.
This will result in a more responsive competitive price.
4.We will obtain qualified bids for each subcontractor trade by developing a short list of 2 to 5 bidders for each trade.
We will review the proposals received and make recommendations to the Owner for contract awards. Finally, we will write all contract agreements for Owner’s signature and the necessary certificates of insurance naming the Owner as additionally insured.
