CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT AT RISK
Armands success in CMAR stems from our ability
to harmoniously orchestrate a symphony of
different moving parts simultaneously. Beginning
with the owner/agency and encompassing the
entire architecture, engineering, and
subcontracted construction team, CMAR
necessitates a forward-focused approach to
collaboration and communication across all
project variables to compel win-win solutions to
any challenge. Leveraging a team-think process,
the CMAR delivery method joins owners, designers,
and builders in dissecting opportunities and
obstacles to arrive at a Guaranteed Maximum
Price (GMP) based on the construction documents,
plans and specifications, and appropriate
contingency. Acting as a consultant to the owner,
Armand drives the preconstruction process
through budgeting, estimating, scheduling,
quality assurance, safety planning,
constructability, and site logistics planning
before establishing an all- inclusive,
not-to-exceed cost to complete the work. Once the
GMP is agreed to, Armand manages subcontractor
prequalification, bidding, and selection
processes to establish the full suite of
construction resources required to deliver the
project on-time and on- budget to the owners
satisfaction.

CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT AS AGENT
Serving in an advisory capacity to the client,
Armands success in Construction Manager as
Agent stems from our deep appreciation for
people, places, processes, and performance.
Large-scale commercial construction is enmeshed
in complexities of many sorts. From financial
and schedule controls to best-value selections
in means, methods, materials, and resources,
strategic, holistic decision making is always
the epicenter of successful execution. In
institutional settings, where there are often
long-range, ancillary variables associated with
master planning, facility conditions, funding
partners, and stakeholders, the need for a
well-rounded construction management advisor
becomes ever more prudent.

PROGRAM MANAGEMENT
Working as an extension of the contracting
entity, Armand provides comprehensive Program
Management services to municipal, regional, and
state government agencies faced with
overwhelming workloads. Our rigorous, process-
based experience in a diverse range of
public-facing construction assignments allows us
to provide flexible, adaptable Program Management
services as an embedded consultant advisor and
workforce resource. Financial Compliance

DESIGN-BUILD
Design-Build delivery requires consistent
collaboration across all disciplines to
synchronize owner expectations with design
achievability and the realities of construction
schedules, constraints, and logistics. Armand
serves as a vital advocate for excellence in all
regards by unifying each projects many diverse
influences around maximizing owner and user
benefits through strong communication and team
orchestration. Design-Build projects take
advantage of a single-point-of-accountability
approach that umbrellas designers, engineering,
and subconsultants under the design-builders
authority to save time and money in project
delivery by streamlining execution. Success in
this methodology begins with assessing and
assembling the right team and harmonizing owner
expectations with design and construction
perspectives from the projects earliest
interactions. The design solution and congruent
cost and schedule tracking are advanced through
owner approvals with deliberate intent.
Opportunities to compel beneficial cost and time
savings through early bid packages,
prefabrication strategies, and tighter control
of quality, safety, and logistics are all
integrated into design objectives from the onset.
