The Best Construction Management Approach Broad Reach Construction
At Broad Reach Construction, our construction management approach is built around one core responsibility: protecting the owner’s interests at every stage of a commercial construction project. From early planning to final closeout, we manage costs, schedules, risks, and coordination. This helps projects move forward clearly and with control, avoiding surprises.
This approach is for developers, property owners, and commercial stakeholders. They need clear oversight and open decision-making. It also requires a team that cares about results, not just completing tasks.
Why Our Construction Management Approach Works
Commercial construction projects fail for predictable reasons—unclear scope, weak cost control, late coordination, and decisions made without understanding downstream impact. Our approach addresses these risks before they become problems.
By leading the process from the owner’s perspective, Broad Reach Construction ensures:
Budgets are established early and actively managed
Schedules are realistic, tracked, and enforced
Risks are identified and mitigated before construction begins
Accountability is maintained across all project participants
This structure allows owners to make informed decisions with confidence throughout the life of the project.
The Core Principles Behind Our Approach
Owner Representation First
Our role is not to push construction forward at any cost—it is to advocate for the owner’s financial, operational, and long-term interests. Every recommendation is evaluated based on how it impacts the owner’s budget, schedule, and facility performance.
Early Planning Over Late Corrections
Most cost overruns originate before construction starts. We focus heavily on pre-construction planning to reduce downstream changes, delays, and inefficiencies.
Clear Communication Across All Stakeholders
Architects, engineers, trade partners, and owners operate best when expectations are aligned. We establish communication protocols that keep decisions documented, timely, and transparent.
Accountability at Every Phase
Our construction management method clearly defines who is responsible for each task, when it should be done, and the cost. This way, we can solve issues quickly instead of passing them along.
Our Step-by-Step Construction Management Process
1. Pre-Construction Planning & Budget Alignment
We begin by validating scope, evaluating constructability, and establishing a realistic budget tied to defined project objectives. Early cost modeling and risk analysis allow owners to make informed decisions before commitments are locked in.
2. Team Coordination & Procurement Strategy
Broad Reach coordinates architects, engineers, and consultants while developing a procurement strategy that balances cost, quality, and schedule. Trade partners are vetted, bids are leveled, and contracts are reviewed for clarity and risk exposure.
3. Construction Phase Management
During construction, we provide active site oversight, schedule tracking, and quality control. Daily coordination ensures work progresses safely, efficiently, and in alignment with project milestones.
4. Cost Control & Change Management
Every potential change is evaluated for cost, schedule, and scope impact before approval. This disciplined approach prevents budget creep and keeps owners in control of financial decisions.
5. Project Closeout & Turnover
We manage punch lists, documentation, warranties, and final inspections to ensure a smooth transition from construction to operation. The goal is not just completion—but readiness.
Construction Management vs. General Contracting
Traditional general contracting models often place cost and schedule control in the hands of the builder. Our construction management approach is different.
As construction managers, we represent the owner. We coordinate the project team, manage risks, and keep decisions clear. This model is especially effective for complex commercial projects where flexibility, accountability, and early planning are critical.
Who This Construction Management Approach Is Best For
Our approach is ideal for:
Commercial property owners
Developers and investors
Institutional and corporate clients
Logistics, industrial, and warehouse operators
EV charging and infrastructure stakeholders
If project complexity, cost control, and long-term performance matter, this approach delivers measurable value.
Supporting Complex Commercial Projects
Broad Reach Construction applies this approach across a wide range of commercial project types, including warehouse and industrial facilities, healthcare environments, office renovations, and EV charging infrastructure. The process scales to meet project demands while maintaining consistent oversight and accountability.
Frequently Asked Questions About Our Construction Management Approach
When should construction management begin?
Construction management is most effective when engaged early—ideally during pre-construction. Early involvement allows risks to be identified, budgets to be validated, and schedules to be developed before critical decisions are finalized.
Does construction management increase project cost?
Construction management typically reduces total project cost by preventing overruns, minimizing change orders, and improving coordination. The value comes from avoiding expensive mistakes rather than reacting to them.
How does Broad Reach control change orders?
All change requests are reviewed for scope, cost, and schedule impact before approval. This process ensures owners understand the implications of each decision and retain financial control.
Who holds the trade contracts?
Contract structures can differ by project, but our role stays the same. We oversee procurement, ensure contract clarity, and manage performance, no matter who holds the agreements.
How does this approach reduce risk?
By identifying issues early, coordinating stakeholders proactively, and maintaining transparent communication, our construction management approach significantly reduces financial, schedule, and operational risk.
