As your construction manager, Woodruff gets involved early - partnering with the project team during design to offer valuable pre-construction insight that keeps cost, schedule, and scope aligned. Once the design is finalized, we lead the bidding process and transition smoothly into construction, managing all on-site activity while maintaining a safe environment.
Hiring a Construction Manager-at-Risk offers the advantage of early project involvement, enabling improved coordination, cost control, and valuable input during design—often leading to cost savings and schedule efficiencies. It also transfers the risk of cost overruns and delays from the owner to the construction manager, promoting a more collaborative and accountable approach to project delivery.
Below is a summary of the timeline and process for hiring your team’s Construction Manager-at-Risk, as referenced from the requirements in Chapter 26 of the Iowa Code.
