Versatility in Action
STILTEN is versatile. Whether in budgeting, scheduling, or execution, we will tailor the intricate plans necessary to bring a project in on time and on budget.
STILTEN's participation in the project begins immediately upon project award, and continues through the three phases of the project: preconstruction, construction, and the postconstruction and warranty period.
Extensive preconstruction services include budgeting, preparing and maintaining a master schedule, evaluating trade contractors, and developing a project execution plan that will drive the onsite activities during construction phase.
Jobs Done Right... On Time.
A sequential design-bid-build process, typically delivered under a lump-sum or cost-reimbursable contract, is the traditional method of project delivery, especially for the public sector, where work is awarded to a construction company according to a competitive bidding system. STILTEN is a general contractor that can help realize your vision.
The client retains an architect or engineer to design the project and to prepare the necessary drawings and specifications. After the architect/engineer completes the drawings and issues them for pricing, the client selects the general contractor through a sole source or a competitive bid process.
BENEFITS:
This method appeals to clients who have the resources and construction experience necessary to independently contract with the architect or engineer and general contractor. While it requires a longer schedule, you maintain greater project control, and may benefit from the reduced risk that is inherent in other project delivery methods.
As the general contractor, STILTEN provides a confirmed price–after design is complete and before construction begins. We execute the project and generally assume the risk of cost overruns based on clearly defined budget and scope parameters.
