     Working directly with a client and our association of architects from the conception of the project, design through construction, TDL Contractors takes full responsibility for all phases of the project.

     By taking responsibility for coordinating all of a projects activities, TDL Contractors can; eliminate the time required for bid evaluation and contract awards, while maintaining the competitive bid process; identify and purchase long lead items and begin the construction process before construction documents are completed; and develop a critical path method schedule during design to identify critical milestone dates.

     After a budget is finalized and the working drawings are complete, TDL Contractors will secure three or four sub bids from reputable subcontractors and from three or four suppliers for each class of material. If there is a problem staying within the established budget, TDL Contractors will help the owner with value engineering analysis to investigate where costs can be reduced. Through the use of regularly scheduled meetings with the owner and architect to assist in the selection of materials and methods, both the initial and long-term costs can be addressed and controlled.

     Tight integration of architectural, engineering and construction activities is the critical factor in meeting a project schedule. TDL Contractors offers single source coordination that results in better quality, lower overall costs and an end product that is closely allied with the needs and intentions of all parties.
