Construction Management (CM)
Customers with the vision and desire to have a contractor/consultant heavily involved early in the design development stage to get a firm handle on budget, project cost, and local market conditions before design is completed often use the Construction Management (CM) method. Blinderman offers a full spectrum of CM services:
- Development of design standards and guidelines
- Schedule and budget evaluations
- Value engineering
- Constructability reviews
- Accuracy checks on cost estimates
- Weighing project alternatives
- Monitoring and coordinating daily construction activities
- Inspection and construction administrative services
- Documentation of materials, labor and equipment used
- Multi-project planning logistics and coordination
- Development and implementation of contractor quality assurance program
- Implementation of management information and reporting systems
Renovation & Historic Renovation
No type of job better suits our method and refined skillset than the challenges presented by a complex renovation in an operational facility. This project type requires the ability to generate a perfect confluence of construction activity – maintaining sensitivity to the design, budget and schedule requirements, while controlling the impact construction activities have on overall facility operation and safety.

Sustainability
Blinderman’s commitment to sustainable construction strategies is exhibited by the number of LEED accredited professionals on our staff, and the multiple LEED Certified projects under our belt. Application of green design and construction practices maximizes building performance and durability, enhances occupant comfort and health, and minimizes negative impact to our environment.

Virtual Building
Blinderman employs Building Information Modeling (BIM) to minimize risk for our clients and simplify complex construction issues. BIM allows contractors to virtually construct a project before ever actually breaking ground in the field, making it possible for us to monitor many aspects of a building’s construction, operation, and maintenance in unprecedented detail. The valuable data inherent in virtual building models, provides many benefits both on and off the jobsite:
- Establishes clearer communication between owner, designer, contractor and subcontractors
- Allows for more in-depth planning and evaluation of multiple constructability scenarios
- Creates greater reliability in cost estimates
- Improves scheduling precision to minimize disruption to building operations and maximize on-site safety
