We Build Your Vision
Your project is so much more than the “brick and mortar” of a physical building. It’s your dream. Your vision.
But building your dream facility takes a lot of coordination. That’s where we can help. As a General Contractor, we tackle the nitty-gritty construction details so you can rest a little easier at night. We buy the materials, provide the expertise, and schedule the subcontractors so you get time back to focus on other priorities.
We’re passionate about helping people help people. Whatever your field, from healthcare to government to education, we want to help you achieve your mission. And that all starts by partnering with us to build your vision.
Delivery Methods
The Delivery Method selected establishes the contractual relationships between all parties involved in your project. Hover over the four methods below to learn more.
Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR)
Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR)
This is a collaborative three-party system in which the owner contracts directly with a design firm and directly with Comstock. All parties work together in collaboration to establish a design that aligns with the budget. Prior to starting construction, Comstock (CMAR) establishes a guaranteed maximum price (GMP), which locks in the maximum price for the project. Comstock contracts and manages all subcontractors and suppliers.
Design-Build
Design-Build
Looking for a one-stop shop? Design-build is just that. You hire Comstock Construction to manage all aspects of the design and build. Comstock hires and manages the design team directly as well as the subcontractors and suppliers with input from the owner.
Construction Management Agency (CMA)
Construction Management Agency (CMA)
Under the Construction Management Agency (CMA) contract, Comstock Construction serves as an agent to the owner providing pre-construction and construction management services. However, the owner contracts directly with the design team, construction manager, and all subcontractors and suppliers.
Design-Bid-Build
Design-Bid-Build
This is a traditional method of project delivery. The owner hires a design firm to design the project with no contractor assistance, the project is competitively bid, and the lowest responsible bidder builds the project. The responsible contractor hires and manages their subcontractors with no input from the owner on subcontractor selection. There are no pre-construction services utilizing this method and the selection of your contractor is determined solely by price rather than experience, reputation, trust, or an established relationship.

Design Collaboration
Our team works hand in hand with a design team to establish your vision and develop the scope of your project. Depending on the delivery method of your project, the contractual relationship with the design team can be established by you, the owner, or by Comstock Construction.
Estimating
Utilizing our well-established historical cost data our team can provide accurate estimates early in the pre-construction phase ensuring that the design aligns with the established budget.
Scheduling
Have a deadline to meet? Detailing out the project schedule early in the pre-construction process establishes key milestones that keep the project tracking through the pre-construction and the construction phases. It also allows for long lead times items to be identified and planned for.
Constructability Reviews
Our team reviews the plans and makes suggestions to ease the construction process, taking into consideration time and costs. We also take maintenance into consideration; we strive to deliver a facility that is easy for users to maintain.
Bidder Solicitation
After the design phase is complete and the drawings and specifications are approved, the project is bid out. Comstock’s estimating team solicits bids from sub-contractors and suppliers to perform the specified work. The compilation of bids concludes the guaranteed maximum price of your project. Approval of the GMP cues the construction phase.
