CONSTRUCTION SERVICES
Thomas Construction Group provides comprehensive project evaluation through efficient preconstruction services, detailed estimating, and precise value-engineering.
Although we are competitive on hard bid and invited bids, Thomas’ preferred methods of project delivery are Design/Build and Construction Management at Risk (CM@R). Unlike a traditional Design-Bid-Build method, our approach to project delivery establishes the contractor component during the design phase. Essentially, all parties collaborate as partners, trusting in each other’s strengths to reach common objectives.
These methods allow us to:
- Identify with the owner’s vision and goals
- Provide insight in the cost components of the design and determine alternate approaches to save money
- Continuously review project details so we can improve efficiency and resolve conflicts before they arise
We emphasize a “common thread” approach to preconstruction services in which the Project Manager is involved to provide continuity during project execution which allows us to achieve a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP).

Preconstruction
Accurate estimating starts with a commitment to quantify and analyze every detail from the preliminary program and schematic design phase of the project. We listen to our clients, then provide a conceptual estimate based on building components, anticipated systems, cost history, and factors for regional market conditions. We use these budgets and clarifications as the point of control to move forward …. [READ MORE]
Construction
Integrated with Estimating, our TIMBERLINE platform allows a seamless transition from preconstruction to construction. We track the buyout, commitments, job cost to date, and forecast at completion. Specialized reports allow project management to conduct detailed cost analyses, track RFIs, and maintain shop drawings …. [READ MORE]
