Complex industrial facilities are our area of expertise. On Time. Within Budget. As specified.
The design-build process provides the simplest and most economical method of project completion. Communicating with just one team for architectural services, engineering design and construction reduces error causing miscommunication. Because of its simplicity and the added benefit of "single source accountability", the needs of the project owner are more completely met.
If, in your contractor qualifications list, technical knowledge and integrity are primary considerations, we will meet your criteria well.
Construction Management Services Offered
The CM approach facilitates the phased construction process by allowing budgeting, bidding, contracting and construction to proceed along with design development, as opposed to waiting for design to be 100% complete.
Through the coordination efforts of the construction manager and with the use of progressive & modern project management methods available from this particular CM method of project delivery, this process provides for the best use of the time available from all of the parties and team members; owner, a/e, and contractors alike.
The cost of these services are not added costs to the project, but are typically included in the construction costs as the general contractor's overhead.
The general conditions are a part of the construction costs as well, and with the construction management approach these costs are at worst the same, and in many cases less, as the owner can now participate in the decision making process (through the CM) and is the beneficiary of any savings generated in general conditions.

Contract Flexibility
Lump Sum Contracts or Cost Plus Fee With A Guaranteed Maximum Price
Working with manufacturers while they maintain production schedules is different than building a bank, mall, office, school or church. Because our primary business is industrial construction, we are experts at providing for the needs of the industrial client.
- Our new project capabilities range from 3,000 s.f. through 300,000 s.f.
- All project schedules are tracked and managed by a project manager who understands the importance of scheduling and who knows how to keep a schedule on track.
- Change statement under Budget to: "While cost is an important factor in every project, we recognize that there are tradeoffs between cost on the one hand and schedule, features, and quality on the other hand. We can help you make the hard decisions by furnishing you with time and information
Value Engineering
Value Engineering is the means by which the greatest project economy is achieved without reducing the value of the project.
- Our founder, previously a senior manager for one of the world's largest construction companies, left us with a thorough understanding of value engineering methodology.
- Value engineering is a integral to our process in planning every project.
These cost reducing methods and procedures are a normal part of our project management services.
- Matteson-Hudson Construction Company is never satisfied with finished drawings and specifications. We believe there are always means by which change can improve upon the project budget.
- Our primary project goal is to provide our clients with the most efficient and economical designs and construction methods possible.
Quality
- The motivating force within Matteson-Hudson Construction Company is integrity. There is no substitute for quality.
Schedule
- All projects are tracked and managed by the best scheduling methods appropriate to the project.
Budget
- Typically, the project owner's primary consideration is the budget. We, like the owner, believe the budget should drive the project.
-
This typically drives the project cost higher than a low bid price. And who does the owner hold accountable? The architect for errors and omissions or the contractor for not "seeing" plan deficiencies? Either way, the owner pays for the change orders.
Modern Contracting: The Design-Build Method
- The design-build process allows for full execution of the "team concept". The owner and the design-build contractor work closely together to determine the scope of the project. Although this is similar to working with an architect first and then bidding, all similarities end quickly. The design-build contractor works closely with key sub-contractors from conceptual design throughout completion of the construction drawings and specifications. Plans and specs are reviewed in detail with the key trades to determine actual costs. Continuous review of real world costs by the owner and design-build contractor assures a project design that remains within budget.
- Because the design-build contractor has to build what he designed and priced, and the sub-contractors have been involved in the project from the beginning, change orders and cost overruns are reduced considerably.
Let's face it, the bid process only allows for a point or two difference in pricing between contractors, whereas in the design-build method, by considering the construction process during design, (methods generally unknown to architects), savings of substantial value can be realized.
Finally, because the design-build method provides for "Single Source Accountability", the owner and the design-build team achieve the best project at the lowest possible cost.
