Successful estimating is the result of constructability experience and accurate current cost data. Our firm’s estimating team combines the constructability experience for projects since 1983 with our current bid activity to develop up-to-date cost data. By preparing early accurate estimates for budgets, our projects can move smoothly into the project development stage.
Most clients have a desire to include Sustainable features in their projects. Our experience with many Green methods and materials has given us a model for the most effective ideas to implement in each project. We can provide a project that can meet the Certified LEED Level or we can include those sustainable features where the client wants Green Building methods, but does not require Certifications.
Helping the Client and the Design Professionals to meet the project budget is an art as much as a science. Our Estimating Team has the experience to help balance the project ‘wants’ to the reality of the ‘needs’. We do this by offering optional choices to the Team that varies from Finishes to Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing systems. Value choices can be made with the Client’s participation to insure their satisfaction with the final project.
Preparing the schedule for the project will include material lead times, manpower requirements for trades, and weather (time of the Florida year) affects. It begins with the Client’s requirements for completion and will be assembled to include Design and Preconstruction, Pricing and Contracting, and Construction. All of these tasks are assembled into a Critical Path Method (CPM) schedule that will serve to manage the entire process from start to finish.
Magnum Builders is a General Contracting firm that is Florida State Certified licensed building contractor since 1983. Our services have included the construction of Commercial Office and Warehouse Buildings, Educational Buildings, Parks and Roadways, Police and Fire Stations, Multi-Family Dwellings, Government Operational Facilities, and Airport Facilities. As a General Contractor, Magnum has been the Constructor of over 450 Projects. By keeping our work area to the West Coast of Florida, we have developed the relationships with the most qualified Subcontractors, Tradesmen and Suppliers to assure the highest quality product.
Magnum Builders provides a professional service that uses specialized, project management techniques to oversee the planning, design, and construction of a project, from its beginning to its end. The purpose of CM is to control a project's time, cost and quality. CM is compatible with all project delivery systems, including design-bid-build, design-build, CM At-Risk and Public Private Partnerships.
Magnum is a leader in the Design-Build project delivery system used in the construction industry. It is a method to deliver a project in which the design and construction services are contracted by a single entity known as the design–builder or design–build contractor. In contrast to "design–bid–build" (or "design–tender"), design–build relies on a single point of responsibility contract and is used to minimize risks for the project owner and to reduce the delivery schedule by overlapping the design phase and construction phase of a project.
Magnum’s long time West Florida presence and strong quality reputation has resulted in our selection to provide Continuing Contract Services to Public Agencies. These services are for General Construction and Design/Build projects that meet the Client Agencies purchasing requirements. The City of Sarasota, The School Board of Sarasota County, and Peace River Manasota Water Supply Authority are some of the current Clients. Due to State and Inter-Local Purchasing Agreements, many other government agencies have been able to “piggy-back” projects using these Continuing Contracts.
