Traditional delivery, one accountable GC

You bring the design. We build it, on time, on budget, with one accountable GC.

What This Is

Traditional delivery, one accountable GC

When your design is complete and you're ready to go to construction, Bihn Construction manages the competitive bid process, qualifies and contracts the trades, and delivers the project under one general contract. You get the advantages of competitive subcontractor pricing and a single GC accountable for the full scope, without the cost and risk of managing individual trades yourself.

This is the traditional delivery path. Done right, with disciplined management and a prequalified sub base, it delivers outstanding results. BIHN brings the same New York-level schedule discipline and cost control to design-bid-build projects that we apply to every delivery method.
