Erickson-Hall Construction Co. offers experience in professional construction management services tailored exactly to fit your program or project. As construction managers, we’ve developed a unique set of skills to support our clients. Erickson-Hall’s construction management services typically begin during design, and include the following:

• • Planning and needs assessment
  • Schedule and budget evaluations
  • Value engineering
  • Constructability and document review
  • Cost estimates
  • Structured bid packages for lowest cost construction
  • Monitoring, coordinating, and documenting daily construction activities

Over the past 15 years, use of design-build has greatly accelerated in the United States, making this delivery method one of the most significant trends in design and construction today. One reason for design-builds popularity is its proven success in delivering projects quicker, on budget, and without compromising quality.

Erickson-Hall has a proven track record of successful design-build projects for both public and private clients. We place emphasis on collaboration and integration, focus on the teamwork process, and shared project goals. United from the outset of every design-build project, our integrated team readily incorporates our BIM capabilities and the owner’s LEED certification goals.

• Faster Delivery: Our collaborative project management style means work is completed faster with fewer problems.
• Cost Savings: An integrated team lead by Erickson-Hall is geared toward efficiency and innovation which results in project cost savings.
• Better Quality: As a design-builder, Erickson-Hall is able to meet or exceed performance needs, often developing innovations to deliver a better project than initially imagined.
• Singular Responsibility: With Erickson-Hall carrying the primary relationship with the owner and shouldering the risk for the project, we ensure all parties work as a team to collectively satisfy the project goals.
• Decreased Administrative Burden: Because of our extensive design-build experience, owners can depend more on the Erickson-Hall team which will allow them the ability to stay focused on the project goals.
• Reduced Risk: Design-build eliminates the responsibility gap if design details are omitted or the job conditions are incorrectly represented. Allowing Erickson-Hall to be responsible for the design, engineering and price of the project based upon the owner’s supplied program requirements reduces the owner’s exposure to costly claims.

Erickson-Hall Construction Co. possesses the expertise to complete architecturally complex structures. Our construction team is comprised of individuals with a variety of skills in various disciplines to ensure that we are able to consistently provide our clients with high levels of quality, safety, and craftsmanship.

As we continue to implement innovative construction techniques, and design solutions, we are able to save our clients time and money.

The Lease-Leaseback (LLB) process is a new label for the professional services that Erickson-Hall Construction Co. has been providing our customers for the past ten years. The LLB process addresses inherent challenges with the traditional “hard bid” and “construction management” delivery methods.

During the preconstruction phase, Erickson-Hall assigns a management team under the direction of a company principal and senior construction manager. The management team includes a preconstruction manager, project manager, project engineer, superintendent and estimating support. This team becomes the common thread, from the design effort to the construction phase, and ensures continuity, maximizes value for the client; and eliminates project delays / cost overruns.

Proper planning and scheduling prior to the start of construction provides the foundation on which every subsequent step is based. Addressing critical details during preconstruction frequently results in fewer construction-phase changes, reduced construction time, and cost savings. It also ensures that the finished product meets a client’s needs and expectations.

The involvement of Erickson-Hall’s construction professionals during this planning stage ensures continuity between preconstruction and construction, so that decisions made during project planning are accurately implemented in the field.

Our open collaborative approach and comprehensive preconstruction services are designed to:

Control Costs
We develop a baseline cost estimate from the conceptual plans and specifications as a powerful tool to control costs. This baseline cost estimate will be worked to the project budget and becomes the tool to track and control costs of the design effort, and ultimately the total cost of the project. Estimates will be based on in-house historic data, current project costs, industry trend indicators, and the involvement of key trade contractors.

Allow Constructability Review
Erickson-Hall evaluates the project drawings to determine the best approach to the project. We use BIM 3-D modeling software to build the project virtually to identify trade collisions and to avoid timely delays on the site. This eliminates inconsistencies in the documents and increases the opportunity to improve the efficiency of construction. The result is increased project safety, the flexibility to phase certain aspects of the project and better overall planning project.

Use Value Engineering (VE)
True VE is the research and discovery of more efficient or less costly materials, means, methods, and building systems that achieve the owner’s intended program requirements without sacrificing quality or scope. As the project design is developed, we review the construction drawings and documents for potential savings. This is also a good time to discuss green building options and life-cycle cost analysis.

Help with Scheduling and Phasing
We develop a construction schedule utilizing current industry leading scheduling software showing the timelines of the different activities that will occur during the construction process. This schedule will be periodically updated as the project design evolves. It is just as critical to keep on schedule during design as it is to keep on schedule when during construction.

Erickson-Hall Construction Co.’s proven management expertise comes to the forefront on every project. Our teams are experienced in overseeing and coordinating large-scale programs involving millions of dollars of goods and services. As the clients’ single point of contact, the Program Management team integrates the activities of the client, consultants, BIM teams, construction managers, contractors, and federal/state/local agencies into a single cohesive entity. More specifically, the program manager is responsible for managing and maintaining the most critical aspects of the project: the scope of individual projects, the schedule, and the budget. Erickson-Hall is recognized for its ability to deliver projects safely, on time, and within budget. One of the reasons clients choose Erickson-Hall for Program Management is our ability to provide all the necessary services in-house, eliminating the need for multiple consultants. This capability is changing the face of Program Management. Erickson-Hall’s fully integrated teams offer services and support in design, management, construction, procurement, project controls, safety, quality, operations, and maintenance. Erickson-Hall’s Program Management service utilizes established systems, tools, procedures, and processes that help to ensure success for future construction projects.
