Alliance Engineering & Construction assures its clients of end-to-end responsibility, accountability and expertise in building system design, installation and commissioning. We have prequalified professionals for every aspect of the project, we are positive that our model will save the client money, hassle and time.
The major benefits of a Turnkey solution are:
Enhanced communication
Because the design parameters of a project are being developed along with the budgetary goals - construction methodologies and budget conditions being weighed simultaneously - a project is more likely to be realized than with a pure design approach. The owner has greater access to the project "team" as the project is being developed. This efficiency is not a negative "short cut" as a rule, but rather the keystone to the success of our Turnkey model.
Accountability
Rather than a parcelized level of responsibility of the classic bid & spec, turnkey provides an integrated entity to the owner or client. This moves projects away from the "finger-pointing" that is often commonplace in contemporary construction projects, and allows the owner to look to one entity with any questions or concerns.
Single source
Instead of having several contractors and consultants, an owner has just one entity to deal with. Design revisions, project feedback, budgeting, permitting, construction issues, change orders, and billing can all be routed through Alliance Engineering & Construction. This single point of contact allows a certain degree of flexibility for the owner.
Value-based project feedback
Typically, in order for a contractor to bid on a project, very specific details relating to the methods and materials must be given to avoid any ambiguity and to make an "apples to apples" comparison of bids. In a design-build context, the owner, the owner's other consultants, and the design-builder can work together to determine what methods and materials will maximize the owner's value. In instances where marginally more expensive materials, designs, or construction methods might yield a higher return on investment for the owner than those of lower cost, the owner is free to adjust the project's program without having to re-bid the entire project.
FACT
Almost 70% of traditional contracts end up over budget, compared to design-build which is only around 25-30% over budget. The overage of a D&B project is generally owner driven, whereas the overage in the more traditional method tends to be a result of the budget disconnect to which many design professionals are prone.
With all disciplines under one command, working to the same integrated schedule, we deliver high quality work, efficiency and predictability.
