Engage in a Design / Build Contract for your next expansion with Barclay, and empower your company with the ultimate cost control tool.

Our exacting evaluation follows these steps:

  1. Investment Objective Evaluation/Production Goal Set
    Get to the root of the investment, establishing its importance and significance with the company. We try to determine how it will impact on current production flows and company systems.


  2. Space and Flow Study
    We look at ideal size and layout issues, establishing any inherent limitations with the planned site and working to getting around them. A realistic assessment of minimum spatial and location needs as a starting point.
  1. Time Lines and Challenges
    If we are upgrading or expanding from an existing production line, then work windows are established. These work windows identify how the new construction can best be executed so as not to disrupt existing production and company activity. If a shutdown for new technology interface is essential, Barclay works to determine how best to prepare for the tightest and most successful shutdown phase. Otherwise, construction schedules in general are carefully monitored and maintained; we work fast so as to prevent surprises that you can't afford.
  1. Budget Parameters
    From initial proposals, we can help you gauge whether or not the project plan is feasible. If it's not in line, we rally for smarter design options and cost saving ideas. The true benefit of our active Design/Build relationships is our commitment to determining the bare necessities of the project scope, protecting your dollar and permitting innovative design strategy.

  2. Bells and Whistles
    Once the core project parameters and costs are established, additional design options can be evaluated. Items such as auxiliary equipment, office provisions, additional storage areas, landscaping and paving, hoists and cranes, architectural upgrades, etc.
  1. Money Matters
    The majority of our contracts are Firm Lump Sum, largest at $35 million. We have engaged in contracts up to $14 million on a Fixed Fee Cost Reimbursable Basis.

    The fixed fee is established as a percentage of the Target Completion Budget, but if team initiative throughout the project can generate cost savings against budget in addition to those achieved by labour efficiency, they all go into your pocket.
    Costs can be monitored against project progress on a bi-weekly or monthly basis. The application is ideal when complexity of work, difficult site conditions or extremely tight time lines motivate the need for Owner monitored and controlled item contingencies. On a Cost Reimbursable Contract, likely savings against these item contingencies will be generated and reserved for the Customer. Most importantly, Barclay's disciplined management control and experienced and efficient site conduct warrants that you as customer are receiving the highest in value for money invested.
