With over two decades of experience in the construction management industry, MHP Property Management has demonstrated a proven ability to ensure that a client’s project is delivered on time and on budget. The team’s expertise in reviewing pre-construction documents, preparing schedules and detailed progress reports, providing hands-on administrative management of the construction process and coordinating punch list, sign-off and payment procedures, are all controlled and coordinated for maximum effectiveness under MHP’s carefully crafted project management system.
In addition to delivering superior results as measured by the traditional standards for excellent project management, MHP’s clients gain unique added value: after the initial bid process is completed, a subtly administered “extra step” is added during the bid evaluation. This “extra step” has been found to wring some of the fluff out of the most competitive bids, without harming the incentive, and ability, of the contractors to perform the bid scope of work to the required standards. MHP has been set apart from other project managers based on its consistently reliable results, and on the benefit that its clients have enjoyed from the introduction of this “extra step.”
Construction Manager vs. General Contractor
Oftentimes, we have seen clients confused by the choice of General Contractor (GC) or Construction Manager (CM). This misunderstanding about their respective roles stems from the fact that most construction companies will work as either GC or CM depending on your choice. The risks and responsibilities of using a GC contract vs. a CM contract are very different. In essence, a GC bid is a lump sum where the contractor acts as a principal; a CM contract uses the contractor as an agent. A tenants schedule will dictate which form of contract they will probably use. GCs need completed drawings on which to bid a lump sum. CMs just add their fees on top of the actual hard costs of the sub contractors. Tenants that need to move quickly are better off using the CM contract. Tenants under 10,000 square feet rely heavily on architects to coordinate the construction process. Architects tend to favor CMs as the fee structure allows the architect to cover any of its potential mistakes or incomplete work and not be penalized.
