Why Consider a Construction Management Company?
Defect Litigation
Owners can find themselves dealing with “life-safety” issues which must be addressed properly for their health, safety and welfare, as well as with property values. With our experience in this area, we have helped many owners to restore their property to a watertight and structurally sound condition, all within a well planned, organized and budgeted construction process.
Claim Settlement
Design Build Associates has helped numerous clients to successfully settle insurance claims.
Claims may include:
- Construction defects
- Catastrophic events
By properly evaluating a claim and identifying the correct costs to make quality repairs, we have been successful in acquiring millions of dollars for our clients.
Expert Witness and Testimony Services
Design Build Associates also provides expert witness and testimony services for clients and attorneys who find themselves involved in construction defect litigation.
Our experience as contractors and construction managers gives us a strong understanding of:
- Where construction defects normally occur
- What caused them
- What can be done to fix them
We clearly understand the process that an owner must undergo to correct these defects and restore the owner’s investment in their property.
Cost Estimating
Design Build Associates provides cost estimating. Due to past experiences as owners of buildings that we have built, we understand what construction methods and materials can best be utilized to keep a project within budget without compromising quality. Our participation in the design of the project provides a method for us to implement these cost saving techniques and materials.
To keep the project competitively priced, contractor bids are solicited through the various trades required by the project. These bids are reviewed and then presented to the owner before final determinations are made as to which subcontractors will be involved with the project.
"The work to our community is complete and the results are terrific. I can say unequivocally that had it not been for Design Build Associates, we would still be living in an increasingly deteriorating environment, not to mention depressed property values. They have proven themselves trustworthy by providing the information needed for us to make informed choices, and as a result, gave the Board confidence to make the difficult decisions. Their over-sight during the work was superb. And they helped us to bring the project in under budget by a little more than $134,000!"
