G23 Solutions, design and construction team possesses over one hundred years of combined experience in the field and manages the entire process, from conception to completion, in world-class fashion. Led by Michael G. Mago, with over thirty years of real estate, development and construction experience, Robert D. Crear, with over thirty years experience delivering Class "A" concept to completion renovations, buildings and developments and Dale C. Bianco, with over twenty five years in land entitlement, corporate and public sector financing, we remain unparalleled in our knowledge of the industry and in making a project a complete success.
The proof of this excellent experience can most recently be found in our projects at Lake Barrington Field House, a 167,000 SF, $28MM, recreation and sports project that was successfully completed in only nine months, NorthPointe IV, a 73,000 SF, $10 MM project which includes a professional baseball training facility, and Flint Creek Professional Building, a 61,000 SF, $15 MM Class "A" office/medical building. All three projects completed by our team within both schedule and budget.
"How can you compare bids with other construction firms if they all submit their own proposals?"
You are about to begin a building project utilizing a Design/Build firm. If so, wouldn't it be valuable to have someone on your side universally knowledgeable about your interests in the planning, construction and outfitting of a building? Design/Builders can be capable providers, but their focus is on construction and profitability. Who will decide how much profit is fair? Who will consider the cost and coordination of the hundreds of other building related issues that will affect your business? The answers to these questions will affect millions of your dollars, the emotional state of the employee responsible for the project, and affect the orderly relocation of your business operations. To help you answer these questions we have attached a comparison of how G23 would provide substantial value to your project.
Compensation-
We are entirely compensated by our pre-negotiated fixed fee, so we work tenaciously for our clients. Furthermore, the complete satisfaction of our clients is critical to attracting new clients. Therefore, G23 motivated to decrease the construction costs to the point where the design/build firm finds it a marginally attractive proposition and increase the quality of the building to a level of excellence expected by our clients.
Feasibility Studies-
Utilizing experts and historical cost information, G23 generates studies with real costs, real timing, and real logistical observations. We consider the affect on your finances, operations and efficiency. In short, you get the honest truth about all of the options available to you.
Planning-
G23 is a stickler on detail. We make Design/Builders "better" by forcing them to be thorough and insightful. We believe that "detail" is always the ally of the buyer. As the project unfolds, detail will establish mutual expectations, enforce high quality, and assure value.
G23 concerned about one thing; what is the real timing relative to the options available. Because G23 is unaffected by whatever option you choose to implement, we can honestly submit what we think is the proper and likely time schedule.
G23 has generated a significant number of comprehensive bids and negotiated hundreds of contracts. Competitive pressures always deliver the lowest cost, without exception! We write bids that require contractors to submit in an "apples-to-apples" format. Noting is left out--no room to wiggle.
Poor budgeting has contributed to more inadequate, short-changed building than any other cause. G23 has historical costs observed from real projects in all areas. Additionally, G23 purchases thousands of dollars of furniture, technology and moving each year. Consequentially, vendors extend the deepest discounts to G23 clients.
G23's systems and experience set us apart in the market place. We are certain we will deliver your project with a high level of value and satisfaction.
G23 believes and Mago stated "a Facility is fundamentally a management tool. Viewed in this respect, it must complement and enhance the occupations and activities which it supports. Aesthetically and functionally, it must reflect the character of the organization and people it serves And, it must do so within sound economic parameters and corporate growth strategies".
Apart from Human Resources, the single largest expense item on the corporate balance sheet is Facilities. As assets, these facilities represent as much as 25 percent of an organization total. Properly negotiating, designing, constructing and managing these assets can significantly benefit the bottom line.
Developing or modifying a Facility is a time demanding undertaking which is both technically and financially complex. Implementing such a project involves a diverse team of specialists having individual interests and disparate agendas, yet entrusted to fulfill your goals and objectives. Therefore, the project team must be proactively managed and skillfully directed by an experienced manager representing your interests - Project Integration. G23 offers the requisite experience and technical expertise to manage projects of this nature and aid in achieving your business goals and objectives.
