At J. Davis Construction, our design/build concept is a "team approach" which involves the combined and coordinated efforts of the Construction Manager, Architects, Subcontractors, and Owner.

Our Project Managers will provide the Owner with a resource that can foresee and determine the cost consequences of his design decisions. The Owner, Architects, and Construction Manager form a "team" with the same objective.

This approach ideally has the members of the construction team working together from the inception of the project through its completion. In addition to our vast experience, the advantages and benefits of employing J. Davis Construction for your Design/Build project are as follows:

1. 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.

2. We have a qualified team of experienced architects and engineers. The J. Davis Construction team can assist in your land purchase and if required, prepare necessary site, engineering and landscape plans for municipal zoning and special use approvals.

3. If during the course of construction unforeseen construction conditions are encountered, the J. Davis Construction team will investigate and suggest recommendations to the Owner utilizing current knowledge of building costs, methods, and means.

4. We, as the Owner's agent, are responsible for the preparation, processing, and flow of all paperwork. This is to include: subcontract agreements, purchase orders and change orders; shop drawings and manufacturers' cut sheet submittals; and monthly applications for payment, waivers of lien, and coordination with Owner's representitive.

5. We will conduct weekly or biweekly project meetings with the owner.

6. J. Davis Construction has a "total quality" approach to doing business. Each member of our team has clearly defined responsibilities, and accountability.

9. Once the scope of work is defined, we will prepare an estimated budget for general conditions to include supervision, insurance, and necessary field overhead associated with the project for the Owner's review and approval.
