Most of our work comes from repeat clients and referrals who value our ability to deliver projects on time, within budget, and to a high standard of quality across the Triangle market.
Pre-Construction Services
Our experienced team will assist Owners, Tenants and Designers by creating an overall preliminary budget for the project. We will use our knowledge and historical cost data to price the project and inform the client of any milestone dates to keep the project moving forward in a timely fashion.
Design/Build
The Design/Build method of construction is a more streamlined version of standard general contracting and allows the Owner to have more input and control over the design and cost of their project. After a preliminary project budget is established and agreed upon, the Owner then works with McKenna and a team of designers to develop a design that meets not only their needs and desires, but also their budget. We then bid the project out to multiple subcontractors to establish a final price and move forward with construction.
Construction Management
In this scenario, the client will hire the design professionals separately and McKenna will act as a construction advisor and manager during the design, bidding and construction phases. Once the plans are sufficiently developed, we will provide the client with preliminary pricing for the project and this can be used as a basis to move forward with the design as is or to make adjustments as necessary to stay within budget. After the plans are complete, we will bid the project out to multiple subcontractors and then help the client evaluate the bids and determine a final price.
General Contracting
The most common and traditional delivery method for construction projects is General Contracting. With this arrangement, the client hires the design professionals separately and after the plans are complete, we will provide pricing for the project. If adjustments to the project cost are needed, we work with the client and design team by providing value engineering suggestions in order to get the project cost in line with the client’s budget.
