Sometimes our customers require representation at a stage of the project where it is too early to engage the services of a General Contractor. In these cases, Haselden, as the Agency CM, represents our customers interests by helping to select the design team as well as the construction team and manage the design preventing scope creep, helping the owner stay within a pre-determined budget by performing Value Engineering, Cost/Benefit Analysis and Best Value Comparisons.

Other matters upon which advice under these circumstances include:

• Optimum use of available funds
• Optimum use of design and construction firms' skills and talents
• Control of the scope of the work during the development of the design
• Project scheduling
• Enhancing project design
• Optimum flexibility in contracting and procurement and procurement measures
• Cash flow Management.

As the design is developed, we can continue our assistance by leading the procurement of the contractors and subcontractors, including solicitation, prequalification, bidding and negotiating their contracts, all on behalf of our customer. Comprehensive management of every stage of the project, beginning with the original concept and project definition, yields the greatest possible benefit to owners from Haseldens Construction Management Agency.
