Success of a given project is determined by the Team assembled and the amount of influence the Team has throughout the entire project cycle. Carlson Kennedy takes great pride in working with our Clients from project inception as an integral team member to ensure their project is a success, so we approach every project with two very basic principles:
Team Collaboration
Early Project Influence
Being an integral part of a project team as early as possible in the project cycle is important, and leads to a successful project.
There are many talented architects and builders in and around Omaha, and we’ll strive for the best design and quality while always considering the owner’s cost.
Construction is about having the proper team working towards your project goals.
A project finished is not the end, operations management is part of any project’s conclusion.
Projects can be broken into four stages: Planning, Design, Construction, and Operation. The theory of Cost Influence proposes that as the project progresses through the four stages, the team loses its ability to impact the overall budget of the project. As costs are incurred, it becomes more challenging to find ways to reduce or maximize the budget.
The earlier the team is assembled, the greater the ability to challenge and affect the overall project budget. It is the combination of all disciplines early on that creates the balance needed to create a successful project. Even though Carlson Kennedy regularly participates in traditional competitive bidding, due to the Cost Influence concept and our desire to work on collaborative teams, our ultimate goal is to align with Clients and projects that utilize collaborative delivery methods, such as Construction Management.
