CAHILL CONTRACTORS

Throughout the design-build process, Cahill endeavors to optimize the synergy that results from involving the Owner, Architect, Consultants, and key Subcontractors in the design process. We not only manage the design-build process, but are also an active participant, ensuring changes are coordinated through all of the disciplines, checking for constructability and offering value engineering recommendations. We furnish timely cost and schedule impacts so that tentative design changes can be formalized quickly.

Cahill understands that significant construction cost and time savings can be realized during the preconstruction period. There is a close relationship between design and construction. Through cost effective scheduling and architectural and engineering planning, Cahill is able to meet and often exceed the Owner's objectives and budget. Cahill believes in teamwork, and so every project is assigned a Principal in addition to a Project Manager to work together with the Owner and Architect from the outset of a project to ensure that the Owner's and Architect's concerns are addressed. We work on building professional relationships between all the project members. Respect and open communication allow for ideas to flow to ensure that the best alternatives are presented during pre-construction.

We have extensive tenant improvement experience working in very sensitive occupied spaces ranging from newspaper editorial offices to university facilities to brokerage offices. Before any construction in an occupied facility takes place, Cahill meets with the building occupants to address their concerns during construction. Safety, noise, dust and traffic control are a few of the issues Cahill addresses immediately when performing a tenant improvement. During construction we are sensitive to our client's changing needs. We schedule around our client's activities and modify our work practices as necessary to minimize the impact to our client's operations.
