Design/Build Construction Management Services
CM during the Program Planning Phase
During the Program Planning phase of your building program, Myler's Construction Staff will review the type of program space and the amount of space you are intending on building. With our extensive computer data base of current and past costs of thousands of church building projects and our specialized experience in estimating and building churches all over the country, we will help you determine a realistic building budget that your congregation can afford to build.
CM during the Design, Architectural and Engineering Phase
Protecting your building budget is one of the most important functions that we will be performing for you during these phases. You want to be able to build what you are telling your congregation all through the design process that you are intending to build. Through the value engineering and life cycle costing studies and accurate cost estimates that we will be performing for you during the design, architectural, and engineering phases, you will be able to make the right decisions involving costs that will keep your project within the financial parameters of the building budget you set in the program planning stage.
CM during the Negotiation / Multiple Bidding Phase and Construction Phase
Another important function that the Myler Construction Staff will be performing for you is to give you a Guaranteed Maximum Price early in your building program process. With a Guaranteed Maximum Price you will be able to go to lenders and arrange the construction and permanent financing for your project.
The process of arriving at the Guaranteed Maximum Price is a team effort involving the Myler Construction Staff and your church's building committee. Our staff will do all the leg work in competitively negotiating and getting bids from trade contractors and suppliers in your local area. As negotiations are completed and bids are received, these will be submitted to your building committee for their review and approval. This "open book" system allows you to see and select the most competitive and best bona fide bids. You will know and have the assurance that you have competitively bid the project out and are getting the best Guaranteed Maximum Price that you can for your congregation.
During the construction phase of your project, the Myler Construction Staff will manage all aspects of the construction of your new church facilities. We will be responsible for the project schedule, quality assurance, cost control, lien control, and all of the other things that contribute to the successful and satisfactory construction of your new church facilities. When construction is completed, if the final construction costs are less than the Guaranteed Maximum Price, Myler will share these savings with your church.
After you take possession of your new building, we want to assure you that we will keep on working for you. If any problems arise soon after you start using your building, we will make sure the trade contractors involved get back and fix them. Then, after you have occupied your new facilities for one year, we will make sure any corrective warranty work is taken care of by the responsible prime trade contractors. Though it is unlikely, even after that, if you have any major problems with your new church facilities, we will be available to help you with them.
"Our building project with your firm was a good experience for our entire church. Your construction managers were very interested in making sure the project was completed as economically as possible, on time and with the highest standards of quality. I have already recommended your firm to several other churches."
Dave Litzkow, Facility Manager
North Central Church of Christ
"Thank you for your involvement in our second construction project with your company. Since we were under a tight schedule to get our educational complex completed, your Construction Management department and Architectural Engineering department worked very closely together to "fast track" our project, and deliver it three months ahead of schedule, and under budget. I believe the Myler Construction Management process is the only way to build church projects. We are looking forward to our next building program and will be using you again."
Gene Glaser, Building Committee Chairman
Holy Spirit Parish at Geist
"We were totally thrilled with the performance of the Myler people. our project superintendent went beyond the call of duty in all aspects of the project from start to finish. He was always available and ready to help us. We especially appreciated his thoroughness, his attention to detail, and his genuine concern for our welfare when dealing with the subcontractors. He and the rest of the Myler staff are to be commended, and serve as good examples of what churches are looking for in construction management."
