Our experience from the perspectives of design, construction and owner and tenant representation results in an understanding of the development and construction process that is not typically available from construction management, general contractor or design firms. Our clients benefit directly from this diverse background and from our hands- on, personal approach to project management.
  • Getting the most from your design team is critical in successfully achieving the project requirements and utilizing the development dollars effectively. CBD’s experience with designers permits us to secure efficient and comprehensive design services and to manage the design process to match project objectives. 
  • CBD clients benefit from focused and aggressive negotiation of construction and design contracts, as well as the construction aspects of the lease. We are able to maximize key contract and lease terms through our familiarity with building services and our unique understanding of both owner and tenant/user interests. 
  • CBD clients maximize their development dollars through cost effective construction purchasing. The CBD principals have purchased over a billion dollars of construction work in the last 22 years. 
  • Finally, our clients benefit from a management process that controls cost, schedule and quality through direct project involvement by our key personnel. Having worked for general contractors, designers, developers and tenants, CBD understands the interests and perspectives of the key parties. CBD can anticipate money and timing exposures and thus minimize cost and schedule change orders.
