Ways We Deliver

Whether you need design and construction under one roof, a completed design taken to bid and built, construction management at risk, early-stage preconstruction, or owner-side management of a complex job. The discipline behind it never changes.

01One team, one contract

Design-Build

Concept to keys, under a single point of accountability.

Design-build puts design and construction on the same team, under one contract. The people drawing your project and the people building it are aligned from the first sketch.

Single Accountability

One contract, one team. No gap between design intent and what gets built.

Budget Locked Early

We price the design as it develops, so cost surprises don't surface at bid time.

02Traditional delivery, one accountable GC

Design-Bid-Build

You bring the design. We build it, on time, on budget, with one accountable GC.

When your design is complete and you're ready to go to construction, Bihn Construction manages the competitive bid process, qualifies and contracts the trades, and delivers the project under one general contract. You get the advantages of competitive subcontractor pricing and a single GC accountable for the full scope, without the cost and risk of managing individual trades yourself.

Competitive Bidding

We go to market with your drawings, qualify subs, and run a rigorous bid process.

Subcontractor Prequalification

Every trade evaluated on qualifications, capacity, financials, and track record.

03Shared risk, open books

Construction Manager at Risk

Early partner, Guaranteed Maximum Price, and open-book accounting.

BIHN is engaged early in your project as a collaborative partner, providing preconstruction cost input, scheduling, and constructability review before the design is final. At a defined milestone, we commit to a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP), taking the cost risk onto our books. Open-book accounting, full transparency, and one team accountable for both schedule and budget.

Guaranteed Maximum Price

We lock cost at a defined milestone and carry the overrun risk.

Early Contractor Involvement

Field expertise shapes the design before it's final, reducing changes and surprises.

04Before you break ground

Preconstruction Services

A real number and a real schedule, before a permit is pulled.

Before a permit is pulled, Bihn Construction can provide detailed cost estimating, master scheduling, constructability review, value engineering, subcontractor prequalification, and permit strategy. Engage us early and avoid the surprises that surface at bid time.

Cost Estimating & Value Engineering

A real number, not a ballpark. With options to protect your budget.

Scheduling & Constructability

A master schedule built before construction starts, with field experience shaping the drawings.

05Owner-side discipline

Construction Management

The schedule, the budget, and the trades. Held to the line.

On complex projects, the difference between on-time and over-budget is management. Bihn Construction brings owner-side discipline to every build: a master schedule that's actually maintained, transparent cost tracking, and tight coordination across every trade.

Master Scheduling

A real schedule, maintained and reported. Milestones tracked, not hoped for.

Transparent Cost Control

Budgets locked early, tracked openly, invoiced cleanly from start to finish.

Residential Services

Selective residential work, held to the same standard.

Bihn Construction takes on a limited number of high-end residential projects each year: renovations, remodels, and additions run with the same commercial-grade discipline as our largest builds. If your home is the project, start a conversation and we'll tell you honestly whether it's a fit.

The Delivery Model

The way a project is contracted decides how risk, cost, and accountability flow. The traditional model splits them apart. The design-build model keeps them on one team: ours.

Design-Bid-Build

Design-Bid-Build

The owner holds separate contracts with the designer and the builder, and the design is priced only after it's drawn.

Bihn Construction delivers projects this way too, for owners who arrive with a completed design and want one accountable GC to execute it.

  1. OwnerHires the architect
  2. ArchitectDesigns in isolation
  3. BidPrice discovered late
  4. BuilderInherits the drawings
  • Price discovered at bid, after the design is fixed
  • Design and build responsibilities split across two teams
  • Owner absorbs the coordination risk

Design-Build

The Bihn Way

One contract, one team, one point of accountability: from the first sketch to the final walkthrough.

  1. OwnerOne contract
  2. Design + BuildAligned from day one
  3. Priced as drawnBudget stays locked
  4. KeysOne accountable team
  • Budget locked early, priced as the design develops
  • Constructability built into the drawings, not after
  • We carry the coordination risk, not you
The Design-Build Advantage

Aligned from Day One

The people drawing your project and the people building it share one table and one contract, from the first sketch forward.

Budget and Vision, Locked

We price the design as it develops, so cost and scope move together instead of colliding at bid time.

Built In, Not Bolted On

Field experience shapes the drawings before they're final. Fewer changes, cleaner execution, a result that lasts.
