Services
Bassett & Associates, Inc. offers many services that can be customized to solve the needs of each client. With each service, we approach the project with a consistent philosophy: to foster an atmosphere of teamwork between client, design consultants, general contractor and subcontractors. This ensures that the project schedule, design and delivery exceed the needs and expectations of the client.
General Contracting
When the owner uses this method, Bassett and Associates, Inc. typically joins the project team after the completion of the design phase. While we welcome the opportunity to competitively bid the traditional "design-bid-build" project, we are also pleased to get involved early in the conceptual phase on a negotiated contract.
Construction Management
When the owner chooses the construction management method of construction, Bassett & Associates, Inc. typically joins the project team through either a negotiated contract or a fee based selection process during the preliminary design phase. In cooperation with the architect and engineers, our goal is to provide the optimum quality, at the lowest cost, and the shortest schedule. At the preference of the client we can perform this service as an agent of the owner or on an "at-risk" basis where we contract with the subcontractors and suppliers and guarantee performance.
Design Build
In conjunction with the appropriate design team, Bassett & Associates, Inc. has participated in many design-build projects. With this method we are generally the single point of contact for the client and accept responsibility for both the design and construction of a project. The design-build approach provides our clients with the earliest input of the construction and design team. This parallel coordination results in a cost effective project with respect to design and delivery.
