General Contracting

We are Experienced and knowledgeable professionals.

Bowa provides experienced and knowledgeable professionals to handle all phases of your construction project. As a General Contractor, we handle all types and sizes of projects from new construction to renovations. Our project management staff guides you through every step of the project with our field superintendents, tradesmen and qualified subcontractors delivering your project on-time with the highest degree of safety and quality.

Utilizing a General Contractor is most beneficial when a client desires to contract directly with the Architect/Engineer for design services and enter into a fixed fee contract with one contractor to perform all construction activities. Once that general contract is executed, with the exception of unforeseen conditions, the client’s costs are locked in and the financial risk transfers from the Client to the General Contractor. Bowa strives to provide the very best service at the most competitive price possible.

Construction Management

We are Experienced and knowledgeable professionals.

As Construction Managers, Bowa is involved in all phases of construction from conceptual design, pre-construction to contract closeout. The owner or developer has more involvement than under a General Construction Contract as there several types of CM contract such as GMP, CM at risk are just to name a few.

With the experience and input of Bowa as your Construction Manager, we will assist and advise in all of the above activities as well architect/engineer/contractor selections, provide cost estimates and value engineering, prepare and oversee the master schedule, bid packaging/procurement and permits, full-time on-site project and safety management, budget and change order management, monthly reporting, punch lists and post construction follow-up.

Design & Build

We are Experienced and knowledgeable professionals.

In our Design-Build method of project delivery, Bowa will establish a single contract with the owner to provide for all architectural/engineering and construction services. With both design and construction placed in the hands of Bowa there is a single point of responsibility for quality, cost and schedule adherence. Bowa design/build team, wil evaluate alternative materials and methods efficiently and accurately. Value engineering and constructability are utilized continuously and more effectively when the designers and Bowa work as a team during the entire design process. These steps ultimately save the owner significant amounts of money and time.

Once the design phase is complete, Bowa creates Bid packages, obtains bids, hires contractors to perform construction, establishes and administers construction schedule, provides full-time on-site project and safety management, coordinates and expedites the project with all parties, addresses all issues and concerns and submits all close out documentation to the owner. Because design and construction are overlapped and bidding periods are eliminated, Bowa can significantly reduce the completion time of your project.

Bowa is able to bring you this turn-key construction delivery system due to our reputation, technical and managerial qualifications, past performances and associations with outstanding and respected design firms and subcontractors.

Bowa will provide these comprehensive services from the earliest planning stages right through final project closeout. We tailor our services and staff to meet the needs and budget of our clients, while providing the highest level of service in the most effective and cost efficient manner.
