We engage in whatever role the project actually needs: construction manager, general contractor, developer, or owner's representative. Whatever the engagement, the same in-house team runs the work.
For owners who want professional management of cost, schedule, and trades — without giving up transparency. We bid trade work openly, manage contracts directly, and report clearly. The owner sees the same numbers we do.
Typical scope includes early estimating, GMP development, bid packaging and leveling, contract administration, RFI and submittal management, change-order discipline, and active schedule management through close-out. We bring the same internal team and subcontractor bench to a CM engagement that we bring to a GC engagement.
When the engagement calls for it, we serve as GC under lump-sum, GMP, or cost-plus contracts. We self-perform where it benefits the owner and competitively bid trade work where it doesn't. Either way, the owner has one phone number to call when something has to be answered the same day.
Our supervision model — a senior project manager paired with a full-time on-site superintendent — is the same on every job, whether it's a 12-unit townhome or a 140-unit mixed-use development.
Most of the cost and schedule risk on a project is set before mobilization. Pre-construction is where we take it out — through conceptual estimating, constructability review, value engineering, sequencing analysis, long-lead identification, and bid leveling.
We're glad to engage on a fee basis for owners and architects working through feasibility and design, with no obligation that we be selected for construction.
Valley has developed its own projects and partnered on others. We bring an owner's perspective to every CM and GC engagement because we have sat on that side of the table — through entitlements, capital structuring, design coordination, construction, and lease-up.
For development clients, we provide site evaluation, feasibility analysis, pro-forma support, design team coordination, GMP development, and full execution.
You can have the best estimate and the cleanest schedule on the desk, but the project is built — or lost — in the trailer. Valley staffs every job with a full-time superintendent from mobilization through punch. That super is the same person walking the building the day before turnover.
Our supers run the daily coordination of trades, manage inspections, document conditions, drive the look-ahead, and own the safety program on-site.
Renovation is not a discount version of new construction — it is a more demanding form of it. Existing conditions are unpredictable, the project has to operate around constraints that no drawing can fully describe, and the contractor has to make calls in the field, daily.
Valley has delivered gut rehabs of 28-unit residential buildings, full-hotel renovations, the historic restoration of Felician College's castle administration building, and high-end retail and office build-outs. The team has done this enough times to know where the surprises live.
Cost certainty appropriate to the design phase, with line-item transparency and clear assumptions documented.
Critical-path schedule logic, milestone reporting, and a rolling look-ahead the trades can actually build to.
Trade scopes written to compare cleanly. Bid leveling that surfaces what the bidders are actually pricing.
Monthly cost and schedule reports written to be acted on. Issues flagged in the body, not buried in the appendix.
Changes documented, priced, and processed without the drift that turns small items into late-stage disputes.
O&Ms, as-builts, commissioning sign-offs, warranty management, and the operations turnover the building actually needs.
Send a set of drawings, a site address, or a sentence — whichever you have. We'll give you a useful response either way.
