The Design-Build Advantage
MEL-RE has developed professional Design-Build
services that provide one-to-one responsiveness,
a single source of accountability, and hands-on control
throughout every phase in the life of a project. As
the general contractor, MEL-RE Construction Management,
Inc. leads the entire operation, from pre-acquisition
through occupancy, and retains complete control of the
regulatory and design stages, where cost control is
critical. The company assumes the risks and becomes
accountable for the project, from inception through
completion.
MEL-RE initiates a design-build project by assembling
a proven design team and determining objectives and
priorities with the owner. Site analysis, architecture,
landscape and interior design endeavors are all directed
by MEL-RE, allowing the owner to control his level
of personal involvement. Design efforts are all conducted
in concert with project life cycle planning, cost
analysis, value engineering and scheduling, which
facilitates a fast-track approach through hard pricing,
financing procurement and permitting.
Actual development and construction are managed
with an in-depth understanding of design considerations
and priorities. MEL-RE’s proven, in-house financial
processes also enable the owner to monitor the project’s
success every step of the way.
When construction is completed, MEL-RE’s design-build
team oversees the smooth delivery of the project
to a satisfied owner: overseeing finishing details,
owner orientation, testing mechanical systems, financing
and title documentation, and tenant build-out services.
During the initial occupancy period, one can truly
measure the performance of the design-build approach
and the benefits of increased responsiveness,
accountability, and disciplined quality and financial
control.
