General Contracting
D Cay Group offers a variety of delivery methods to suit our clients’ needs. The general contracting approach allows us to work together with the owner, architect and engineer to deliver the project according to budget and schedule. During the design stage, The D Cay Group can provide cost estimates and value engineering, handle scheduling and plan construction. After our firm requests bids from subcontractors, we provide on-site construction supervision and oversee the warranty period once construction is complete.
Construction Management
D Cay Group offers a range of professional construction management services suited to the size and complexity of any given project. Generally beginning during the design phase, our services include:
- Advice on all aspects of planning
- Management of design and construction phases
- Value engineering to control costs
- Structuring bid packages and making recommendations
- Monitoring and coordinating daily construction activities
Pre-Construction Services
D Cay Group will work to meet the owner’s functional, aesthetic, budgetary and scheduling needs during the Pre-Construction phase, by providing and reviewing a variety of design documents and calculating the cost. These services are delivered in a timely manner, taking into consideration budgetary and scheduling objectives. [TOP]
Conceptual Estimating
D Cay Group has developed and refined its estimating system to establish the most accurate budget early in the process and control costs throughout the project. Our estimating team works to understand the client’s needs and then draws upon its extensive database of vendors and subcontractors to build the most accurate estimates possible. Details are incorporated into cost estimates as they become available during the pre-construction phase, allowing our estimating team to work on cost control while still in the design phase.[TOP]
Value Engineering
D Cay Group understands that every client wants to minimize costs while maintaining building integrity. Our team of experts does not approach value engineering as a cost reduction process, but as a design approach that aims to deliver the most streamlined and cost-efficient project while fully meeting the building’s functional and aesthetic objectives.[TOP]
Site Selection
The site selection process is a crucial step in estimating the marketability of a project. D Cay Group can assist our clients with this process. This service has been helpful to our clients in determining not only the marketability of a project, but also the feasibility of their project on a particular site.[TOP]
Design-Build Scheduling
D Cay Group offers the design-build approach to scheduling. Creating a single point of contact between our company and the client for architectural and engineering design services as well as construction services has been beneficial to our clients. This method simplifies the process for the client and streamlines coordination internally for design and construction. Designers and contractors working together during the design process can make constant use of value engineering to control costs and avoid unnecessary bidding periods or re-designs.[TOP]
Green Build Construction
D Cay Group has embraced LEED, the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Green Building Rating System that is the nationally-accepted benchmark for the design, construction and operation of high-performance green buildings. We are members of the U.S. Green Build Council and have LEED Approved Professionals on staff. We recognize that this type of construction is the future and are excited to be a part of it. [TOP]
Post Construction Services
Upon completion of a project, D Cay Group will provide the client with comprehensive warranty manuals, continued warranty maintenance, and follow-up walkthroughs.[TOP]
