Bancroft’s Construction Management process exceeds project and
Owner objectives through structured and consistent systems and procedures as applied by a highly-talented Project Team especially selected for each project based on their relevant experience and capabilities.
Our philosophy for General Contracting is to proactively work closely
with all members of the Project Team to identify specific project challenges and opportunities in order to develop thorough strategies to meet strict schedule and cost objectives.
Bancroft’s collaborative approach to Design-Build brings the design firm
and the subcontractors together in a focused, team-oriented relationship offering Owners a single source of contact and responsibility. Bancroft has consistently demonstrated its successful Design-Build capabilities and approach as a delivery system in both the industrial and
commercial sectors in private and public industries.
Today’s complex construction projects demand an experienced Owner’s advocate to ensure your best interests are being met in all aspects of the project. Our Owner’s Representative Services ensure best-in-class performance and clear communication among Owners, contractors, vendors and architects. Throughout the project our team will help control expenditures and improve processes.
Bancroft’s preconstruction services include design review, constructability analysis, value engineering, as well as detailed, accurate and easy to understand estimates. By maintaining a variety of disciplines and expertise within our preconstruction staff, not depending on external sub-consultants, and utilizing state-of-the art estimating software, Bancroft ensures our clients the best quality and cost return for their construction budget(s).
Bancroft believes that sustainable design makes sense and it is our responsibility to implement green practices. Sustainable designs can offer a significant operating cost-savings to owners while having a positive impact on the environment. The LEED? rating system is made up of five main credit designations: Sustainable Sites, Water Efficiency, Energy & Atmosphere, Materials & Resources, and Indoor Environmental Quality.
As a Program Manager, Bancroft becomes part of your organization.
We work closely with the Owner and Owner Representatives to gain a detailed understanding of your company’s vision, short and long term goals. Once the goals have been established, we implement a realistic management and execution plan for achieving these goals in an efficient and
high-quality fashion.
Bancroft has adopted Virtual Design as a process that enhances our
services as your Construction Manager.? The Project Team will develop a strategy where Building Information Modeling (BIM) or Virtual Design & Construction (VDC) can be implemented in order to mitigate risk to the project’s budget or schedule.? This allows for better review of design documents, more accurate project schedules,?and to become
more proactive with issues that may occur within the field.
Our overall goal is to utilize virtual design to build as efficiently as possible and mitigate risk before they happen in the field.
VDC helps to control a projects:
BIM allowed us to create RFIs pertaining to available space before it became an issue in the field. It was a game of inches in many places. We were able to foresee access panel locations and provide dimensions for field installation. It also sped up approval time on shop drawings, which was vital on a phased project.
