Our Services
FVC provides construction services utilizing various project delivery methods to transform our client’s visions into reality.
Design-Build
The design-build delivery process allows your project to be designed and built with a single point of contact and by a team under one roof. The F&V team works closely to meet the owner’s project objectives while controlling schedule, quality, and budget. In our designer-led approach, the designers are an integral part of our construction team to accomplish the design intent. No one knows more about the design intent than the designers.
Our design-build process provides single-source responsibility to meet the project’s design intent, schedule, budget, and warranty. Our typical construction fees are based on open book review of all costs by our clients. Bids are obtained from trade contractors and reviewed with the owners. The individual trade contractors work as subcontractors to FVC.
Our key approach in achieving success is to keep the client as an active participant throughout the project.
Construction Management
Construction Management (CM) provides oversight and coordination of the trade contractors, project schedule, budget, staffing, coordination, and quality from start to finish. FVC provides open book CM services to give our clients a complete view of the costs associated with their project. This includes access to trade costs, expenses, fees, contingencies, and our labor and overhead.
Our process includes utilizing our design engineers working directly with our construction team resulting in a successful partnership. In the bidding phase we strive to eliminate the questions ahead of project launch.
We use a very experienced group of core-subcontractors with whom we have developed strong relationships to ensure clear communication and successful project delivery for our clients. We also encourage client participation in all aspects of the project.
Design-Bid-Build
FVC is also experienced in design-bid-build delivery of projects. We can bid and construct your project working for you and in coordination with the design professional in a traditional contractor/owner relationship. Optionally, we can provide general contracting services on a pre-selected basis.
FVC is recognized for its expertise as a strategic partner, the leader for design, construction & operation of projects, and the home for top professionals who are making a difference.
additional services
FVC is part of the F&V family of companies which also includes Fleis & VandenBrink (F&V) and F&V Operations and Resource Management (FVOP). As part of that family, our team of multi-disciplined professionals bring skills and services that benefit our construction projects.
Value Engineering
FVC’s approach to value engineering is to focus on maintaining the integrity of the owner’s design while finding potential cost-savings. We participate in both project planning and the design review phases to review constructability, possible alternative equipment or materials to provide you with realistic options for controlling construction costs. Additionally, we look at construction techniques and systems for schedule efficiencies to further streamline the timeline.
Budgeting
FVC, along with our affiliate company Fleis & VandenBrink, is very successful in finding appropriate funding opportunities for our clients. We can also materially participate in the project as an investor, or in a build-to-suit lease back configuration. This helps keep your capital focused on your business needs.
Constructability Reviews
We understand the importance that design has on the construction of a project. Through our constructability reviews, we evaluate the design to make sure the project will be as efficient to build as possible. Having in-house design, construction and operations professionals gives us an advantage in knowing what to look for and allows for synergy between conception and construction phases.
