Methods
of Contract Work:
Design / Build: Our preferred
method whereby the project design, scope of work and specifications are
tailored to meet specific budget requirements. We will provide architectural
and/or engineering services as needed to work with Irvine Construction and
the client using a team concept. For an in-depth discussion of the process
please visit:

Cost /
Plus: A method that has no fixed contract price with the possible
exception of a not to exceed ceiling price. This procedure is best used in a
situation where there are numerous unknown conditions that can effect the
work throughout the construction process.
Competitive Bid: The most popular and well known method of contract
work. We will provide limited bid proposals in a prequalified situation. In
most cases, to provide a competitive bid proposal, professional quality
plans and specifications will be required.
Negotiated Contracts: Usually a hybrid or combination of methods whereby
the final construction documents and scope of work is modified because of
budget restrictions. These contracts may combine others and include some
Cost / Plus work for unknown conditions and fixed pricing for a clearly
defined scope of work.
Regardless of the method desired, we will provide a no cost initial consultation
to discuss your project. Click here to
