Client Consideration | |||
Contractual Relationship | Collaborative, advisory role; Poettker acts as the owner’s liaison; trade contracts may be held by the owner (CMA) or by Poettker (CMAR) | Single contract and point of responsibility; the design team reports to Poettker; simplified communication and risk allocation for the owner. | More transactional with separate owner contracts and communication between the GC and design team; contract terms and documents largely define success and risk allocation. |
Early Collaboration | Engagement between the owner, design team, and Poettker begins in the early stages of project planning and design development. | Owner and design-build team (Poettker+architect) starts in the early stages of project planning and design development. | Engagement between Poettker, the client, and the design team begins when bids are being solicited; limited early contractor involvement. |
Budget & Cost Control | Owner experiences maximum transparency with progressive open‑book budgeting at key design milestones; owner maintains visibility and can make proactive, informed decisions throughout design. | Owner experiences cost certainty early through progressive pricing and a scope-defined GMP; design decisions are validated against real-time cost data. | Fixed price established at bid; cost certainty depends on completeness and quality of construction documents; limited to no contractor input prior to bidding. |
Schedule | Schedule planning begins during preconstruction with milestone tracking and phasing strategies; well-suited for master planning, multi-phased, and occupied facilities. | Design and construction overlap, creating accelerated delivery by one team; fewer handoffs and faster decision-making. | Schedule is driven by bid documents and procurement; less flexibility for late changes or phasing adjustments. |
Safety | Independent Risk Management Team provides oversight, audits, and site-specific safety planning beginning in preconstruction. | Safety is embedded into design decisions, logistics, and procurement, reducing downstream field risk and coordination gaps. | Same company-wide safety program and Risk Management oversight; performance is tied closely to document clarity and site conditions. |
Quality | Tiered quality control with constructability reviews and independent inspections focused on early issue identification; constructability is vetted before design is finalized. | Single-point accountability for quality through a tiered view process; constructability is validated before designs are finalized, reducing rework and surprises. | Quality execution is driven by document compliance and field supervision, reinforced by independent quality audits. |
Owner Project Management Expertise | Ideal for owners who want guidance and transparency while remaining actively involved in decisions. | Well-suited for owners seeking a streamlined process; limited internal project management resources. | Best for owners with available resources to manage coordination, RFIs, and change decisions. |
