GENERAL CONTRACTING
General Contracting, defined as the provision of a fixed lump sum for a defined scope of work, forms a significant portion of Shurway’s business. With this approach, the balance of risk in the contract is placed largely with the Contractor - this approach is well suited to projects where the owner's design team has the time to prepare a complete and coordinated set of tender documentation which reflects all aspects of the required construction.
Shurway brings highly competitive trades to the table which provides overall competitiive pricing for the owner. Shurway reviews all documentation during the tender process, drawing also on the expertise of trades.
Shurway places a full time Site Superintendent at every jobsite. This ensures that an appropriate level of trade coordination as well as liaison with the owner is always provided. In addition to our Project Manager, Shurway also commits to having a Partner involved directly in every project to provide oversight and ensure that the contractual requirements of cost, time and quality are met while providing a high level of customer satisfaction.
Selected as the owner’s construction advocate, Shurway Contracting serves as the construction professional on the owner’s project team. The construction management approach is well suited to: projects where time is at a premium and an early start is desired – early trade work can be undertaken while the balance of the design is finalized; projects which involve a high degree of uncertainty and risk such as major reconstruction of aging buildings – avoiding the need for a general contractor to price a risk premium; projects which are large and complex where the owner and design team require professional construction advice and possibly early or phased construction work.
As a Construction Manager, we provide leadership to the owner, Architects, Designers and Engineers with information, Value Engineering and recommendations on construction economies, schedule and technology from the earliest stages of conceptual planning through project completion.
CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Shurway offers a Project Management service for construction projects. This is an added layer of management above the construction contract itself which comprises the expertise and organizational skills to assist owners in assembling the entire construction delivery process. This can include the assembly of the design team and advice regarding procurement approach. It can also involve Shurway taking conceptual designs through to construction without the need for owners to manage every aspect of the process. There are differing levels of involvement possible with this service ranging from the provision of project and procurement management advice at the conceptual stage of the project up to and including the procurement of projects on a Design Build basis. Under a Design Build approach, Shurway engages the entire design team and manages the entire delivery of the project under one direct contract with the owner.
Our Project Management services are built upon many years of Shurway overseeing projects from concept to delivery, managed by our experienced and accredited Project Managers.
SUSTAINABLE DESIGN
In light of the increasing focus on the environmental impact of construction, Shurway is strategically positioned to deliver the essential services required for projects pursuing LEED accreditation. It is vital to carefully choose the right trades and effectively communicate the nuances of the LEED accreditation process throughout the project lifecycle. Our dedicated team includes qualified professionals, such as CaGBC LEED AP and GA, who bring a wealth of expertise to the table. They are well-equipped to navigate the LEED requirements for both new constructions and existing buildings (EB), ensuring that your project not only meets but exceeds sustainability standards.
