SERVICES

Our specialty is multi-family renovations. However, we also perform new construction, large-scale renovations, tenant improvements, and everything in between for private, municipal, and public clients.

With a focus on quality, safety, cost, schedule, and client satisfaction, Blackhawk Construction, LLC has the ability to manage the entire process for our clients through various delivery methods and services including:

Design/Build

Specifically in a design-build application, we use proven pre-construction and construction systems complimented by total team input weekly throughout the planning and design of the project. These systems and procedures are conducted through an “open-book” process. Services provided during the Design/Build process include: multiple budget estimates; progress, schematic, and construction drawings; cost option analysis; constructability reviews; schedule development; development of the GMP; weekly meetings; project close-out and as-built documentation.

Multiple budget/estimates with weekly updates until the GMP is established
Regular issuance of progress drawings, schematic design through construction drawings
Option analyzes’ so different construction materials can be evaluated on a cost and durability basis
Constructability reviews so we can verify drawings are dimensionally correct and construction details provide adequate information for construction
Development of the Master Construction Schedule which will include pre-construction, pre-ordering, and construction activities all governed by the critical path of the project
Value engineering
Establishing the Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) at a stage of drawing development which is to be determined by the Owner
Writing detailed subcontractor bid instructions and ultimately getting multiple subcontractor bids for the different trades that will be involved with the project
Conduct weekly Owner meetings throughout pre-construction and construction, issue meeting minutes and follow up weekly on all outstanding issues
Prepare a project specific safety plan
Maintain as-built documentation
Prepare and submit close-out documentation within 30 days of project completion
Perform quality control audits

Design/Assist

The Design/Assist method of contract delivery is very similar to Design/Build. However, in the Design/Assist application, the contractor will work with the owner and the design team that is already under contract with the owner. The majority of Blackhawk’s private projects are completed using the Design/Assist method. The services provided for a Design/Assist project are the same as that of Design/Build.
