The gap between a design team and a delivered building is where projects lose budget and schedule. Pencor closes it as your construction manager at risk, accountable for cost, schedule, and every subcontractor under a guaranteed price.
Owners with a design team in place often find themselves accountable for outcomes they never agreed to manage. Pencor steps in as your construction manager at risk under a guaranteed maximum price, taking on the delivery accountability while you retain control of the decisions that define the project. What gets built is your call. Getting it built on time and on budget is ours.
We take on the delivery risk under a guaranteed maximum price, even when your design team is already in place. The number we committed to holds for the agreed scope. If costs shift within that scope, that’s our problem to solve, not a change order on your invoice.
We coordinate directly with your existing design team, manage every trade and inspection, and own the schedule from groundbreaking through certificate of occupancy. The architect relationship you built stays intact. The delivery accountability transfers to us.
Tell us where your project stands and what design work is already in place. We’ll show you what construction management at risk looks like for your specific scope.
Construction management at risk transfers the delivery risk to Pencor without removing you from the decisions that define the project.
One recent Grocery client needed a facility had to be designed on an existing site with a 13,000-pallet racking layout before a structural system was selected, cold storage requirements built in from the start, and a budget held through a multi-year delivery on a project type their organization had not built before.
Does construction management at risk with Pencor commit us to a fixed scope?
No. If scope changes, we work through the implications on cost and schedule and bring you the options before anything moves. The guaranteed maximum price holds for the scope we committed to, and any changes go through you before they go to the field.
What is the difference between a guaranteed maximum price and a cost-plus arrangement in Pencor’s construction management services?
A guaranteed maximum price caps what you’ll pay and transfers cost risk to Pencor. Cost-plus means you pay actual project costs plus an agreed fee, which is typically the right structure when the full scope isn’t defined at the time we’re engaged.
What happens if a subcontractor on our project underperforms or causes delays?
That’s Pencor’s problem to resolve, not yours to escalate. We own the subcontractor relationships and manage performance issues before they affect your schedule or budget.
