Regardless of the delivery or contract method, we maintain the same commitment safe, high quality, and efficient execution.
Whether we are leading an industrial project as a self-performing general contractor or supporting you as a trade partner, JH Kelly is able to lean on experience supporting a wide range of project delivery methods and contract strategies. We tailor our approach to preconstruction support and field execution processes to your preferred delivery method, but consistently provide the same transparency, accountability, and budget and schedule certainty regardless of how you contract with us.
Project Delivery Methods
We routinely perform work under a diverse range of delivery models, including Design-Build, Progressive Design-Build, Design-Assist, Integrated Project Delivery (IPD), Bridged Design-Build, and traditional Design-Bid-Build. We are also well-versed with Mechanical Contractor/Construction Manager (MCCM), Electrical Contractor/Construction Manager (ECCM), and Oregon’s Trade Partner delivery frameworks within the context of Design-Build and Design-Assist delivery methods. Regardless of the approach, our objective is consistent: integrate as early possible, collaborate effectively, and align execution strategies with project goals to deliver safe, high-quality outcomes.
Contract Strategies
We have also delivered work under a variety of contract methodologies, including Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP), Maximum Allowable Subcontract (MASC), Cost-Plus Fee, Time and Material (T&M) Not-to-Exceed (NTE), lump sum, and unit-price agreements. We tailor our management approach to each contract structure, adjusting our approach to project controls, reporting, procurement, and risk allocation accordingly.
For instance, under GMP, MASC, and Cost-Plus agreements, we generate value in preconstruction through transparent open-book estimating, exhaustive value-engineering, and proactive risk identification to support informed decision-making and maintain budget certainty. For T&M and NTE engagements, we lean on our detailed labor tracking, productivity monitoring, and real-time reporting to ensure transparency and accountability. In lump-sum environments, we integrate with project stakeholders to maximize value on the front-end and utilize our suite of project controls to provide budget and schedule certainty throughout the construction phase.
