PRE-CONSTRUCTIONThe most successful projects require early involvement to provide value engineering, initial scheduling, and construction cost budgeting. Time and effort spent by the construction management team in the initial pre-planning and design phase of a project is very valuable. We are often able to solve challenges before they become problems during the construction stage.

What we do:

> Attend development meetings and provide feedback> Develop the construction budget at required stages> Provide value engineering> Develop a construction schedule> Provide a construction cash flow projection

Syncra Construction provides pre-construction, construction management, and general contracting services.

SERVICES

“We have benefited greatly by Syncra’s construction management services. From beginning to end of a project, they show their commitment and diligence by delivering our projects on time and within budget. Their understanding of budget constraints help meet the financial, functional, and aesthetic goals of each project.”

– Kevin Hoffman, Sr. Vice President, Aquilini Investment Group

CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENTMany of our clients prefer a construction management contract arrangement. This typically gives the owner the option to begin a project before design documents are complete. This method also increases design flexibility through the construction phase and staged tendering to control individual parts of the construction budget. In a construction management system, Syncra engages as the agent acting on behalf of the client to oversee and supervise the complete construction process from pre-construction through to project completion. Our service closely resembles the benefits of an in-house construction team. Syncra leads, facilitates, and coordinates the entire construction process between the consultants, sub-trades, and suppliers on behalf of and at the sole discretion of the client.

What we do:

> Budget preparation, cost control, and full project accounting> Tendering with complete and carefully prepared scopes of work> Subcontract negotiation, award, and administration> Scheduling control and sequencing of all construction activities> Site set up, complete supervision, and coordination of site work> Site safety control and enforcement> Project close-out documentation collection, control, and submittal

GENERAL CONTRACTINGSyncra provides full construction services in the more traditional role as General Contractor. Syncra prepares a detailed estimate and tender in strict accordance with the design drawings and specifications prepared by the Architect and Consultants. Clients are provided a fixed price for the complete construction of the project. As the General Contractor, Syncra is responsible for delivering the entire construction of the project for the agreed upon price and schedule, barring any changes being made to the design and specifications. This provides the client the advantage of shifting construction cost risks to the General Contractor.

What we do:

> Responsibility for all construction related costs> Site set up, complete supervision, and coordination of the site work> Scheduling control and sequencing of all construction activities> Procurement of all sub-trade and supplier contracts> Site safety control and enforcement> Project close out documentation collection, control, and submittal

Syncra is recognized for our ability to effectively manage unique and challenging projects that require a truly flexible approach for success. We continue to rise to new challenges by leveraging the experience of past projects.
