What We Do

Services

A proven track record across multiple delivery methods — hard bid, general contracting, design-build, and construction management. We match the method to your project, budget, and appetite for risk.

01 Bid-Build

General Contracting

Using the bid-build approach — a traditional method of contracting — Curtiss-Manes-Schulte and the client choose from a lump sum price, a cost-plus-fee basis, or cost-plus-fee with a guaranteed maximum price. Active participation in the bid market and our knowledge of industry conditions keep us extremely competitive, while strong subcontractor and vendor relationships deliver high quality at a cost-competitive value.

  • ▪Competitive market pricing
  • ▪Vetted subcontractor network
02 Single Source

Design-Build

As design-builders, we provide a single-source delivery system for design and construction. We work closely with each customer to identify their unique needs and provide solutions that positively affect design, performance, and cost — selecting and managing the design team best suited for the project. Comprehensive service through design and construction ensures a project completed on time and within budget.

  • ▪One point of accountability
  • ▪Right-fit design team
  • ▪On time and on budget
03 As Agent / At-Risk

Construction Management

Construction management treats planning, design, and construction as integrated tasks within one system. These tasks are assigned to a team of owner, construction manager, architect, engineers, and local authorities who work together from inception to completion with the common objective of best serving the owner's interest. We can serve as agent for the owner or on an at-risk basis.

  • ▪Integrated project system
  • ▪Owner-first coordination
  • ▪Agency or at-risk delivery
04 Lump Sum

Hard Bid

Curtiss-Manes-Schulte is awarded a lump-sum contract for construction services as a result of the competitive bid process, based on client-provided contract documents. Our market knowledge and disciplined estimating keep our numbers sharp and dependable.
