North Construction outlines CMR process, value-engineering and local subcontractor use
Summary
North Construction representatives emphasized early cost opinions, staged pricing checkpoints, and use of local subcontractors to control costs and support the district’s schedule during the CMR delivery process.
Leroy Ask, vice president of North Construction’s Sioux Falls group, and his colleagues described the CMR delivery method as an early, collaborative approach that provides staged cost opinions at schematic design and design development. They said the method allows the district to remove or add scope and to use local subcontractors with a vested interest in the school’s success.
Ask said the firm prioritizes communication, vetting bidders and providing detailed estimating by personnel with field experience to yield accurate early budgets. The firm described value engineering as a tool to present tradeoffs (for example, longer‑lasting track surfacing at higher upfront cost) so the district can make informed long‑term decisions.
