										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Today’s commercial architects marry aesthetics and functionality in energy-efficient, innovative designs. Not only must these architectural plans be state-of-the-art, but they also must account for every client’s priorities and follow a myriad of laws, codes, zoning rules and <a href="https://www.ada.gov/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">ADA regulations</a>.  </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">An architect’s reputation is on the line when the time comes to choose a New Jersey construction company. It’s important to recommend capable contractors who are capable of delivering every technical and aesthetic component of the design. Sometimes, an architect recommends a specific contractor to the client. In other instances, the architect may submit a list of viable, qualified candidates. The owner/developer then solicits bids from the recommended firms.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Qualities Architects Value</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You&#8217;ll want to specify qualities that you are looking for in <a href="https://jrbcm.com/general-contractor-services/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">New Jersey construction companies</a>. You need a construction company that is capable of both realizing your vision and satisfying the owner/developer.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Here are some qualities to look for when choosing a New Jersey construction company.</span></p>
<h3><b>Integrity</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It’s tempting to believe everything will go well when a written contract binds the parties. However, there is no substitute for the trust that comes with working with a contractor that has a long-standing reputation for integrity. Honesty and transparency are the hallmarks of such a company.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Look for a New Jersey construction company that demonstrates integrity in the bidding process. Low-ball bids may lead to a flurry of changes and related cost overruns down the line. </span></p>
<h3><b>Experience</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It’s only natural to seek out a New Jersey construction company with years of commercial experience. It’s ideal to work with a contractor with relevant experience. Commercial projects vary a great deal in type, scope and functionality. The construction of a medical center is one thing and building a retail center is another. Some of the most established construction companies have the expertise to build a wide range of structures and take on a variety of projects. </span></p>
<h3><b>Collaborative skills</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The right New Jersey construction company collaborates well with a project&#8217;s many participants. These participants include the architect, engineer, sub-contractors, safety inspectors, building inspectors and others. The ultimate focus always remains the same; the goal is to realize the vision of the architect while completing the project on time and on budget. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p>
<h3><b>Timely performance</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Yes, “on time and on budget” is always the goal. So, how do you find a construction management company that can deliver on that goal time after time? Due diligence includes a review of a contractor’s history of sticking to schedules and meeting budgets. It’s reasonable to infer that past performance is indicative of future success. When it comes to on-time performance, an architect should determine how critical timely delivery is to the client. For example, every day a hotel or medical facility fails to open may lead to an unacceptable loss. It is wise to select a New Jersey construction company with a reputation for timely performance.</span></p>
<h3><b>References</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Just as history can tell you a lot, so too can references. The right construction company for your project will be in a position to offer a <a href="https://jrbcm.com/commercial-construction-company/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">number of relevant references</a>. Look for companies with repeat clients. Also, look for those with a reputation for promptly addressing service issues, as these problems can often arise after completion, particularly on complex commercial projects.</span></p>
<h3><b>Financial stability</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A financially strong contractor-partner is essential. A company’s reputation for on-time payments to vendors and subcontractors is a key metric for determining financial stability and overall professionalism in the NJ construction industry. </span></p>
<h3><b>Sustainability</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Membership in the</span><a href="https://new.usgbc.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><span style="font-weight: 400;"> U.S. Green Building Council</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> is another standard to consider when selecting a New Jersey construction company. New Jersey’s electric rates are among the highest in the country. In fact, commercial and industrial rates</span><a href="https://www.electricitylocal.com/states/new-jersey/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><span style="font-weight: 400;"> rank in the top ten</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Those rates drive interest in contractors with relevant knowledge. Sometimes the client’s corporate mission statement requires pursuit of LEED certification. In such instances, you want a firm with a LEED-accredited professional on staff. Businesses often see sustainability as integral to corporate branding. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Architect Benefits</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Architects and contractors have symbiotic, mutually dependent roles. In a best-case scenario, the contractor carries out the architect’s vision on time and on budget. Safety training and expertise across the trades are other vital traits. Everyone shares an inherent interest in the success of every commercial project. Key benefits accrue when working with an experienced New Jersey construction company. A motivated onsite contractor minimizes the resources the architect devotes to project implementation.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">An effective contractor also demonstrates the foresight to minimize costly change orders. Excessive change orders are often the result of unrealistic bidding. Contractors with local knowledge of the NJ construction landscape avoid certain change orders. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Naturally, an architect wants to be confident in the selected contractor. Certain change orders enhance the final quality of the project. When legitimate design changes occur, the contractor needs to be nimble enough to carry them out. Changes in price, schedule and market conditions may cause unavoidable change orders. </span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">For More Information</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">JRB Construction is a fully insured and bonded company based in northern New Jersey. JRB is a U.S. Green Building Council member with certified LEED project experience.</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">General contractors in the commercial construction industry provide a <a href="https://jrbcm.com/general-contractor-services/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">wide variety of services.</a> These services include turnkey projects, new construction, interior fit-outs, site improvements and renovations. On occasion, a general contractor even takes over a project that’s already underway. </span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">General Contractor Services</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Some general contractors specialize in certain kinds of construction, like renovations or interior fit-outs. Others have the experience and resources to offer all of the general contractor services noted above.</span></p>
<h3><b>Turnkey projects</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">General contractors can take a project from conception to completion, handing it in its entirety from the ground up. These turnkey projects are increasingly popular in new construction. Contractors also deliver certain renovations on a turnkey basis. When the facility is ready to occupy, the general contractor “turns the key over” to the client.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As these projects are streamlined, this approach is popular when deadlines are tight or resources limited. An owner/developer must value the expertise and integrity when assigning a complete project to one firm. Since the client cedes a certain amount of control in such an arrangement, trust is paramount. The right contract terms can increase transparency for the client and solidify that foundation of trust moving forward. </span></p>
<h3><b>New construction</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In other instances, a general contractor is called upon to implement the design of an independent architect. Simply put, the architect designs and the general contractor builds. Sometimes the general contractor provides more comprehensive design-build services. The contractor coordinates all aspects of the project.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Either way, the general contractor enlists the services of specialty contractors to make the design a reality. The firm ensures compliance with local codes and zoning requirements. The contractor often has a say in which code-compliant building materials are used to construct the building.  </span></p>
<h3><b>Interior fit-outs</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Once a commercial tenant leases space, it’s time to build it out. The tenant typically gets a space with studded walls and functioning utilities. Drywall may or may not be covering the studded walls and there may or may not be finished flooring and a finished ceiling. To complete what is often called a fit-out or a build-out, the tenant enlists the services of its own contractor. Sometimes the tenant uses the same contractor the owner/developer used to erect the overall structure. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The chosen contractor completes virtually everything that’s required before the inventory and tenant equipment arrives. An ideal general contractor possesses extensive knowledge of appropriate building materials. Access to skilled craftsmen and insight into efficient systems are other valuable qualities. When it’s a retail space, there&#8217;s often a grand opening once the space is fully stocked and equipped. </span></p>
<h3><b>Site improvements</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Site improvements are another <a href="https://jrbcm.com/general-contractor-nj/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">area of expertise for many general contractors</a>. Information from the architect, engineer and landscape architect goes into the site plan. The contractor then makes the plan a reality. Sometimes, the general contractor provides certain design services in-house.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Site improvements change the property in ways that accommodate or contribute to the structure. Underground utilities are one example. Examples include electric, gas, cable, sewer and water. Site excavation, water drainage and retention ponds are other examples. Landscaping enhances the appearance of the site, so knowledge of hydrology and vegetation alternatives are important factors. Aesthetic appeal and privacy are common goals. Consideration of transportation route enhancements is also common. This often includes evaluation of passenger vehicle, commercial vehicle and pedestrian needs.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Site improvements also include parking, shelter and site lighting. Proper site improvements require attention to all applicable codes and land-use zoning requirements. Documentation is required to meet applicable building codes enforced by the city or county. Urban planning considerations often demand that the project mesh with surrounding physical spaces.</span></p>
<h3><b>Remodels and renovations</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Some contractors deliver general contractor services related to renovation and remodeling projects. They must deliver the trade skills needed for cost-effective, high-quality projects. Improvements accommodate growing businesses, refresh business images and upgrade employee morale. Sometimes they feature sustainable designs, enhanced wireless connectivity or energy-saving systems.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Businesses choose renovations for many reasons. Facilities age or a company needs a change. Color schemes and fixtures grow dated. High traffic areas show wear and tear. Outdated heating and cooling systems are incompatible with today’s higher utility rates. Annual maintenance expenses spiral upward. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Perhaps a rebranding is needed, as a facelift can enhance a company&#8217;s image and a new office layout can help promote increased efficiency and collaboration. On other occasions, a natural disaster or the expansion of a retail space may require extensive work. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In any case, a successful renovation balances owner resources, worker needs and customer appeal. Consider both re-branding and retail facelifts as effective forms of advertising. They evoke a feeling of being in touch with today’s consumers. In short, they convey success.</span></p>
<h3><b>Take over projects already underway</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Unfortunately, projects started by others can get off track. The potential reasons for this vary. There may have been quality concerns, financial difficulties, or a lack of proper management. The solution is often to assign the project to a <a href="https://jrbcm.com/construction-management-nj/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">new general contractor</a>, and such a contractor must have capable construction managers. The construction management experts step in and get things back on schedule, helping to resolve challenges without further delay and move the project forward to completion.</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="https://jrbcm.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Commercial construction companies</a> take on a wide variety of projects, including everything from shell buildings and tenant build-outs to new constructions and renovations. Common commercial construction projects include office buildings, medical centers, corporate headquarters, hotels, restaurants and retail centers.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Different contractors bring various levels of knowledge and expertise to such projects. Therefore, it is always incumbent upon the prospective client to perform due diligence to choose the construction company that engages in industry best practices. You’ll also want to discern who has what it takes to complete the project on time and on budget. </span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Finding a Commercial Construction Company</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The search for a reputable, knowledgeable and capable construction company may seem like a daunting task. There are numerous options to choose from. The membership roles of the <a href="https://www.agc.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Associated General Contractors of America (AGCA)</a> include more than 26,000 firms.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">From design through construction, many competing factors come into play. Aesthetics, quality of materials, the integrity of workmanship and code compliance are among these important factors to consider. Successful contractors must wear many hats as project parameters often vary. A commercial construction company may be responsible for overseeing some or all of the following:</span></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Design</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Permitting</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Acquiring materials</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Subcontracting work</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Adhering to codes and regulations</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You’ll always hear about the importance of communication between all project stakeholders because client communication is paramount. When the time comes to choose a commercial construction company, it is vital to determine who will turn words into action. What company will foster an environment in which all the parties effectively communicate? That&#8217;s the question, and that&#8217;s what&#8217;s vital from a project’s inception to its completion.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As a project unfolds, many forms of communication will be needed. For example, there might be daily, weekly or monthly meetings. Stakeholders may meet in person, or they may communicate via phone, text and/or email. Ideally, both the style and frequency of communication should speak to the client’s needs and wants.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">5 Key Considerations When Selecting a Commerical Construction Company</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To get on the right track and remain there, it’s important to focus on these key assertions.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p>
<h3><b>A construction company does not have to be large to be good.</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">New Jersey construction projects come in every size and shape. In the search for a commercial construction company that’s a good fit, it’s important to understand that bigger is not always better. Yes, it’s important to have a contractor with sufficient capabilities and expertise. However, for most projects, it’s also important to work with industry pros with a “hands-on” approach. Personal attention to project needs is crucial to success. Trusted partnerships among seasoned professionals breed success. Personal treatment delivers important peace-of-mind.</span></p>
<h3><b>The right price is better than the lowest price.</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Project stakeholders understand that the lowest price is usually not the best price. The “right” price is the reasonable one that delivers real value. A reasonable price balances cost and performance. In the construction business, key metrics measure performance. Timeliness, quality, safety and code-compliance are all important.</span></p>
<h3><b>There are both industry leaders and followers.</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You must determine whether a firm is an industry leader or a follower. Experience is crucial, but so is a willingness to change. In the digital age, a company must adapt or fail. The efficiencies of BIM, big data and online procurement are not to be overlooked. They help contractors cope with the increasing complexity of modern projects. New ways of doing things are always in the offing. Under-investment in technology spells doom. In modern commercial construction, innovation must be a way of life.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p>
<h3><b>Absentee ownership and lack of oversight are behind construction company failures.</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Construction companies sometimes fail. The #1 reason for this is lack of oversight due to absentee ownership. There’s a cascading effect as a lack of oversight leads to failed projects. By contrast, successful firms identify core competencies and adhere to them. They develop strategic business plans that define attainable objectives. An awareness of such objectives permeates the entire team.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p>
<h3><b>Relationships foster success.</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Successful commercial projects are certainly about more than concrete and steel. Relationships are the real foundation upon which such projects are built. The general contractor should foster a desire to strengthen partnerships throughout the process. This means from groundbreaking to occupancy. A capable commercial construction company delivers the competent pros vital to success. A network of well-vetted subcontractors with qualified workers is essential. It&#8217;s the driving force behind every successful commercial project.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Importance of Due Diligence</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You&#8217;ll always want to perform your due diligence before entering into a contractual relationship. You want a construction company capable of completing the kind of <a href="https://jrbcm.com/general-contractor-services/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">specialized work</a> your project may require. The ideal company demonstrates the professionalism and competence you expect and deserve. Relevant expertise is essential when it is time to expedite construction schedules and manage costs. Quality construction that’s built to last is not a given. You need seasoned professionals with deep experience and a team attitude to advance a project to completion. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With so many moving parts, it’s vital to maintain a focus on a singular goal &#8211; a project delivered on time and on budget. The day the doors swing open to employees, tenants and visitors, the success of the collaborative effort is on full display. </span></p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>A construction consultant in NJ wears many hats. For example, the project developer often asks the consultant to help conceptualize a project.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A construction consultant in NJ wears many hats. For example, the project developer often asks the consultant to help conceptualize a project. Early stages of a project often include feasibility studies, cost estimates and budget analysis. Next, it’s time to select contractors and to set a schedule. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As the project proceeds, the consultant oversees construction implementation. It monitors the project to ensure code and zoning compliance. The developer often looks to the construction consultant to oversee closeout procedures as well.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Add a layer of insight and professional abilities to your project by hiring a construction consultant in NJ.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Choosing the Best Construction Consultant in NJ</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The key is to </span><a href="https://jrbcm.com/construction-management-nj/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><span style="font-weight: 400;">choose the best available consultant for your commercial project</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. The right construction consultant delivers the expertise and objectivity of third party monitoring. The consultant sets team expectations and creates clear lines of communication. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The consultant sees to it that the synergistic talents of the architect, engineer, general contractor add value. The consultant promotes the pursuit of a project completed on time, on budget and to high standards. </span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Here are some important traits to seek when you select a construction consultant:</span></h2>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Years of relevant commercial experience</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A capable construction consulting firm brings prodigious knowledge and experience to the table. Look for</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> a firm with many years of </span><a href="https://jrbcm.com/construction-management-project-planning/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><span style="font-weight: 400;">commercial construction</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> experience</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">. It is ideal when your construction consultant also brings highly relevant experience to your project. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Owners/developers find that a consultant’s knowledge of similar projects is most helpful. For example, if LEED certification is a goal, you’ll want to work with a firm with LEED expertise. </span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sincerely invested in every project’s success</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The consultant ensures that all parties remain committed to the success of every project, from start to finish. Project owners, developers and lenders all look to construction consultants to help deliver projects on time and on budget. When it comes to such projects, there are no playing favorites. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Every project requires focus and devotion by all parties involved. A construction consultant in NJ coordinates, analyzes and oversees a myriad of project elements in ways that unify rather than divide. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There’s no holding back when it comes to communication. From the start, the construction consultant’s communication style should be transparent. That means candor and openness at every juncture. An owner/developer and other stakeholders deserve nothing less. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">At the same time, a construction consultant should foster a personalized approach. It’s indeed possible to promote personal relationships while still addressing problems within a project. This style of communication inspires a cooperative team attitude.  </span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Construction consulting that pays for itself</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The right consultant delivers valued engineering that will optimize your project. What became known as value analysis during WWII is now called </span><a href="https://www.wbdg.org/resources/value-engineering" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><span style="font-weight: 400;">value engineering</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. In simple terms, it’s a creative, organized effort that seeks the best value at the lowest cost. Disciplined procedures deliver value during construction, and for the long-term. Choose a construction consultant skilled in value engineering for optimal results.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ultimately, the right professional consulting firm pays for itself in time and cost savings, or at the very least, it delivers an excellent value proposition. This allows an owner/developer to save time and cut costs. Stakeholders avoid the land mines that can derail even the most high-profile projects. Construction oversights and errors get expensive. Marshaling diverse human and material resources is quite a task. Needless to say, dealing with things that go wrong is time-consuming. A capable consultant proactively avoids missteps that either could blow up a project or could cause delays and cost overruns. When something goes awry, the construction consultant’s expertise mitigates losses. </span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Reputable and relevant references</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Look for consultants with </span><a href="https://jrbcm.com/commercial-construction-company/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><span style="font-weight: 400;">references, reviews and referrals</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> from solid, reputable sources. It’s not enough to provide a prospective client with a long list of references of limited relevance, so pay attention to relevance vis-a-vis project type and location. The right construction consultant will volunteer references relevant to your specific commercial project. Local expertise is invaluable as it provides an edge when it comes to New Jersey codes and zoning requirements and updates. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The reputation of a construction consultant is important and so is the size of the firm. On the one hand, bigger is not always better. On the other hand, you want the confidence that comes with working with a firm with sufficient resources to ensure your project’s success. The right firm will have the information required to process voluminous project data. At the end of the day, it&#8217;s about finding a firm that&#8217;s the right match and the right size for your project. Previous projects will offer evidence of how the construction consultant contributed to their success.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When a project developer chooses professional consulting, many benefits accrue. Stakeholders and contractors benefit from the input of a construction consultant. For example, the firm can mediate issues between the developer and the general contractor. Both parties can find it useful to have construction progress evaluated by a knowledgeable and professional entity. </span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Not all general contractors in NJ are created equal. Experience and areas of expertise can vary greatly, and so does the capacity to complete projects on time and on budget. In the search for the right general contractor in NJ, there’s a critical need to perform dedicated due diligence. That&#8217;s a given. Time, money and reputation are on the line when selecting a general contractor for your commercial project in New Jersey.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Key Considerations</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The right general contractor for your project should demonstrate key attributes. The company you select should have up-to-date industry knowledge, relevant experience and informative portfolio and a reputation for fair pricing. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Let’s take a look at the qualities you’ll want to look for in your quest for the right contractor.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p>
<h3><b>General contractors should be knowledgeable and efficient</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Developers and owners often find that the ideal general contractor has decades of experience. At the same time, the best general contractor for the job is also one that embraces the latest advances and the newest technologies. The construction industry in the 21st century is often defined by innovation and the capacity to change. Design and management software is more advanced and efficient than ever. Breakthroughs in building materials allow for more aesthetic and energy-efficient designs. More companies seek</span> <a href="https://new.usgbc.org/leed" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><span style="font-weight: 400;">LEED certification</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> for their projects. Onsite solar is increasingly a cost-effective proposition.</span> <a href="https://zeroenergyproject.org/zero-energy-commercial-public-buildings/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Net-zero buildings</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> now appear. Indeed, the only thing constant is change. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For many commercial projects, local New Jersey knowledge is a plus. Consider a contractor who already has solid relationships with key project contributors. Pre-established relationships with local subcontractors, specialty contractors and superintendents are ideal. These relationships foster a cooperative and collegial construction environment.  </span></p>
<h3><b>General contractors in NJ should have quality references</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">General contractor references vary in quality and relevance. It is incumbent upon a developer/owner to look for contractors with ample references that are both recent and relevant. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As you do your research, explore important topics like:</span></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Construction quality</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ability to resolve challenges</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Effectiveness in communication</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Timeliness of project completion</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One of the best ways to evaluate a reference is to ask whether the company in question would use the general contractor again. There’s no better endorsement than to hear that question answered in the affirmative.</span></p>
<h3><b>The pricing should be fair</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">By definition, commercial construction projects are complex. Sometimes bids are unnecessarily so, and unfair pricing is the result. Therefore, look for a general contractor who delivers an unambiguous bid stated in clear language. Avoid the contractor who profits from confusing the issue.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When possible, ask the references whether they felt they received good value for what they paid. The owner of a completed project is in a good position to share an opinion regarding the value received.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Fair pricing often relates to whether there was competitive bidding or a negotiated contract. The terms of negotiated contracts vary. Terms include cost + fixed percentage, cost + fixed fee and cost + variable fee. A negotiated contract may be appropriate for a very complex project. It may also be ideal for projects that essentially duplicate previous structures. This is also an option when the project developer seeks out a given contractor&#8217;s unique qualities. Special expertise, integrity and a reputation for timely completion are examples of such qualities. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Client satisfaction often depends on matching the right approach with the right project. </span></p>
<h3><b>General contractors should have a solid portfolio</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Successful general contractors in NJ have solid portfolios. You&#8217;ll want to evaluate portfolios in terms of how well they speak to your unique needs. A contractor familiar with your type of project is ideal. Whether your project is a corporate facility, medical center or hotel, or even a retail center or multi-family housing, you’re looking for relevance as you consider competing portfolios. For example, if you seek LEED certification, look for expertise in sustainability and energy efficiency.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Well-defined Projects</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It’s true. Not all general contractors are created equal. Then again, neither are commercial construction projects. When the time comes to choose a general contractor, you’ll want to define the nature and scope of your project with real specificity. An article in</span> <a href="https://www.bizjournals.com/bizjournals/how-to/growth-strategies/2012/01/how-to-select-a-commercial.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><span style="font-weight: 400;">BizJournals</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> puts it this way, “A well-defined plan sets the tone for success, whether it’s an office building, restaurant, hospital, retail, industrial or mixed-use space.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Begin your search for a general contractor in NJ with a clear idea of what you need in terms of the:</span></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Budget</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Scheduling</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Level of service</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Scope of work</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Quality level</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Defining project parameters requires laser-focused precision. What emphases will yield the results you are looking for? For example, what level of service do you need? Is the emphasis on cost savings or time savings, or both? Is the scope of the project extensive and/or complex? In turn, these parameters will be imperative in your quest for an appropriate general contractor.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">For Additional Information</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Consider JRB when you need an experienced and qualified general contractor for your New Jersey project. JRB combines a 40-year legacy with a progressive, forward-looking approach. The “JRB Way” is defined by an ongoing commitment to honesty, quality and efficiency.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Construction Management Association of America (CMAA) offers a thorough </span><a href="https://www.cmaanet.org/about-us/what-construction-management" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><span style="font-weight: 400;">definition</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> of construction management. It describes construction management as “a professional service that provides a project’s owner(s) with effective management of the project&#8217;s schedule, cost, quality, safety, scope, and function.” A commercial project features three primary entities: owner, designer and general contractor. The construction manager (CM) is tasked with the responsibility of promoting the owner’s interests. This includes maintaining the quality, function and scope of the project while completing it on time and on budget.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Value of Capable Construction Management</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The pursuit of a qualified construction manager is certainly worthwhile. A </span><a href="https://www.cmaanet.org/about-us/what-construction-management" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><span style="font-weight: 400;">study</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> promoted by the CMAA Foundation speaks to this. It demonstrated that CMs can cut costs, promote problem resolution and deliver better results for the client.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Successful construction management demands effective real-time sharing of information among the stakeholders. It also requires capable use of an appropriate project management information system. Construction management requires specific knowledge in diverse disciplines, including everything from budgeting to scheduling, and from safety to risk management. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The CM guides a project on a multi-faceted journey to a singular destination &#8211; the successful delivery of a completed project to the owner/developer. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Much is at stake when you are looking for the best construction management in NJ. Substandard construction management may lead to a late opening or cost overruns. Timely occupation is crucial to owners and tenants alike.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Construction Management: Key Traits</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">What are some important qualities to look for in pursuit of the best construction management in NJ? Here are some to consider.</span></p>
<h3><b>Familiarity with the different delivery methods</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Commercial projects benefit from a CM’s skills regardless of the delivery method. A firm well-versed in all delivery methods is the key to success.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Project delivery methods include:</span></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Design-Bid-Build (DBB)</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Design-Build (DB)</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Construction Management Multi-Prime (CM MP)</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Construction Management-at-Risk (CM@Risk)</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A commercial construction firm that’s taken on varied roles is more likely to adapt to the unique nature of your project. Look for a company that’s knowledgeable and well-equipped in the various delivery methods. It&#8217;s best if the firm knows what it&#8217;s like to take on the roles of the general contractor, construction manager and subcontractors. The personnel at such a company sees things from varied perspectives. </span></p>
<h3><b>Knowledge and experience</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In general, commercial construction projects are more complex than ever. The CM must assume the position of the conductor of a large orchestra performing a complicated symphony. In such a setting, a firm grasp of commercial construction basics is essential. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With all of the moving parts involved in a project and on site, scheduling expertise is essential. Deadlines are tight, systems are complicated and tolerances are unforgiving. The most competent CMs remain calm under pressure. It’s vital to expect the unexpected and to solve problems without delay. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Knowledge and experience are important for other reasons. Adherence to pertinent building codes, OSHA requirements and zoning regulations are some examples of why these qualities are crucial. Mistakes borne of inexperience prove costly in terms of time, money and reputation.</span></p>
<h3><b>Communication skills</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You can also think of the CM as the glue that holds a project together. It facilitates direct contact with the developer/owner, general contractor and subcontractors. Communication is vital at every level. By contrast, miscommunication stymies progress. In a worst-case scenario, it can even bulldoze a project.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It’s ideal to seek out a construction management team truly willing to listen. Communication is a two-way street that promotes quality collaboration between stakeholders. It breeds trust on the part of the owner/developer and inspires confidence in the design team. All in all, it makes the subcontractors more effective in carrying out their responsibilities.</span></p>
<h3><b>Dependable and reliable</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Successful construction management necessitates leading by example. CMs should set a standard for dependability and reliability and work well with others to be creative problem solvers. It’s a tall order, which is why capable CMs are at a premium in the industry.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On-site managers must disseminate information quickly and effectively. It’s a classic case of the left hand knowing what the right hand is doing. On commercial construction projects, there are many hands involved. Everyone must work together in a harmonious, choreographed manner and the dependability of the right CM can help accomplish just that. </span></p>
<h3><b>Familiarity with all trades</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It’s essential that CMs be familiar with all the trades. CMs need to know the unique requirements of the various specialty contractors onsite. To a degree, they all speak their own specialized languages. A strong level of understanding of all the trades and partnership between the CM and all specialty contractors is essential to project success. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The CM must also have the knowledge necessary to evaluate the ongoing work of the subcontractors. When something goes awry, it’s important to assess the situation and act diligently and properly to mitigate delays or losses. </span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Construction Management in NJ: Making a Decision</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Once you’ve identified several good construction management firms, it’s time to interview them. Both style and substance are important. Your relationship with a CM will last for some time. It&#8217;s true that you’ll want a qualified candidate, but you’ll also want a CM whose style meshes with yours. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ask the tough questions. Don’t accept superficial answers. Consider every eventuality and dig deep. Last but not least, seek references relevant to the type of project you have. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Regardless of a project’s size, stakeholder reputations are on the line. In this context, the role of construction managers cannot be overstated. Success in construction management is defined by solid results. Quality work, speed, efficiency and fair prices are key metrics in defining success.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">For More Information</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When you are seeking the best construction management in NJ, consider JRB. The “JRB Way” prides itself on an ongoing commitment to honesty, quality and efficiency.

Inc., a construction management and general construction firm located in northern New Jersey. Our guiding principles are our fair prices, quality work and efficiency and speed.</strong></p><p>We’ve undergone some new branding that we’re excited to share. Our new website highlights some of the impressive construction projects we’ve done since we started our business. Doing things the “JRB Way” has shown that honesty, quality and efficiency have been the backbone of every project we’ve worked on. As shown on our Portfolio page, our projects are guaranteed to be completed on time, on budget and to the highest standard.&nbsp;</p><p>New content for the site will include helpful guides and blogs to answer some of your construction management questions. Samples and photos of our previous projects will detail the size of the buildings as well as the time span it took to complete. We’re proud to share the experience we’ve gathered in the last forty years of being in business.&nbsp;</p><p>To our clients and friends - thank you for all your support for the last forty years. Establishing a trusting and productive partnership with our clients is the most important step in completing a construction project. That trust allows us to keep doing things the “JRB Way.”</p></div><div class="tcb_flag" style="display: none"></div>
