Turn-Key Construction Management
FLG has developed a unique, Turn-Key project delivery method aimed at reducing our client’s financial risk by controlling budget and schedule from the earliest stages of design. Unlike most Construction Managers, FLG offers an integrated design and construction approach. We not only assemble and manage the architectural and engineering team but incorporate them into our prime contract as sub-consultants. This approach enables us to assume full responsibility for meeting our client’s schedule and cost targets by providing single-source accountability, realistic schedules with fixed construction pricing very early in the design process. FInally, our streamlined, open-book approach enables us to bid your project at the end of the Design Development Phase. This approach allows us to reduce your overall project schedule by up to 40 percent, bring your business to market faster, while saving you time and money in the process.

Testimonials

From: Gupta, Namrata Sent: Wednesday, July 15, 2009 2:09 PM Subject: Bliss Fine Line Group recommendation While Fine Line Group has built successful spas for Bliss in the past, the Hollywood project is the first in which they have provided us with pre-construction/construction management services. These services fell into three main categories: design team management, coordination/technical review, and pricing/cost control. In all categories, Fine Line has added incredible value to my team. Specifically: they supported Bliss and the design team in scheduling and communication; they coordinated technical conflicts during design to avoid costly changes during construction; and finally, they led “value engineering” exercises that have brought down project costs substantially without sacrificing design quality. In each case, we have benefited greatly by including Fine Line Group in an “integrated” delivery process and not waiting until the start of construction to do so.
February 18, 2008 The W Hotel, one of our premier properties in San Francisco, benefited from the FLG’s pre- construction and construction services. FLG was involved with early programmatic services for the hotel’s lobby and public areas, and provided construction services for the hotel as well as completed construction for the renowned Bliss Spa. We were impressed by FLG’s highly responsive service and proactive attitude. Our projects were completed in a timely and professional manner. We highly recommend Fine Line Group without hesitation, and look forward to working with them on future projects. Sincerely,
Akos Wright Senior Director of Starwood Hotels Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide
For all of these reasons and more, I can offer you my strongest endorsement of John’s team at Fine Line Group. Respectfully, Namrata Gupta director . development + design | bliss
Barteluce Architects & Associates In my 20 year career I can honestly say that Fine Line Group is one of the best I have worked with. Their management team is proactive and smart, providing viable solutions to field issues instead of simply stating the problem. Their field superintendents consolidate their questions and clearly present the issues making our job easier benefitting the overall project. Most importantly, they take tremendous pride in the quality of their work; they are committed to building relationships, not simply making as much money as possible and moving on to the next. I would highly recommend Fine Line Group for any project you are considering and am available to talk to you and your team anytime. Don’t hesitate to call with any questions or comments. Sincerely, Michael M. Gatti, AIA Principal
