The Hoy Approach

Our concept of teamwork extends to our clients and their building designers as well. We have created our Project Delivery System on the Design/Build model, placing the Owner, Designer and Builder on the same team. We create a true partnership, a team environment that promotes open communication. In this way, the Designer has access to our construction expertise early in the design process, and the Owner becomes an active participant throughout the entire process.

The Owner’s best interests are served when we are hired early in the process to act as project coordinator and general contractor. Since we are hired based on our reputation, experience and qualifications, we remain totally accountable to the Owner. Since we are risking our own reputation, we put the Owner’s interests first, eliminating any incentives on our part to increase our profits at the expense of the project.

The greatest impact on cost, quality and schedule occurs during the planning and design stages, and our vast experience helps the Owner to achieve his project’s goals. Our knowledge of materials, new construction techniques, available staffing and effective scheduling can become a valuable asset during the planning phase.

We group construction work and materials into related bid packages. We automatically bid work that we do not perform ourselves to multiple subcontractors per trade (i.e., masonry, roofing, flooring, etc.) in order to ensure that the Owner receives the most cost competitive job pricing.

Throughout the entire process from the planning stages through final walkthrough, we keep the Owner fully informed through regular and timely communication. We remain fully accountable to the Owner at all times and maintain an open book policy that allows for a complete audit at any time. We can provide a phased project by stacking the schedule to reduce costs, shorten the overall construction duration and ensure timely occupancy. For example, site excavation can begin even before the building design drawings are completed.

With Our Guaranteed Maximum Price, we may realize significant savings on a project. These savings may accrue through efficient value engineering, through aggressive cost control and through favorable market conditions. As a result, we can automatically share any savings in the Guaranteed Maximum Price with the Owner.
