We Are Transparent
Our door is always open to our clients. Whether it’s a question about the estimate, schedule, installation, equipment or commissioning, we share information openly and completely. When you are honest, you have nothing to hide.
Our transparency helped reduce project-tracking costs for the owner and simplified the process for all involved. This turned CLSB from a complex, demanding, urgent project into an efficient and cost-effective structure.
Building Trust
This project began as a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) contracting process, which can be an effective—though labor-intensive—way to make sure that costs don’t go above a pre-determined figure. After an internal audit, the owner confirmed that we had given them a thoroughly qualified and substantiated price for the highest level of work, and they opted for a lump sum instead of going through the motions and cost of a GMP contract.
The Right Team
Price aside, one reason why we originally were awarded this project was because we assembled a very specific team with the right technical experience. From eight months of pre-construction, through the construction phase, we kept our word by keeping the team intact. We provided target-based design and pricing, and our team drove the design to align with the with the owner’s budget.
Cost Effective
We gave the owner the absolute highest performance and value. Expensive isn’t necessarily better, and inexpensive isn’t always cost-effective.
