CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT

Construction management is a highly accepted method of contracting in today's construction environment. A good percentage of public projects are contracted by the CM method, including municipalities, state and federal entities. Private developers and large corporations have also sought out the CM variation of constructing their projects.

In its past CM roles, Banton has acted strictly as the owner's agent in coordinating all aspects of the project, guiding the entire project team throughout the design, approval process, construction, close out and occupation of the facility. Through this process, Banton has developed strong working relationships with each of its past project owners as well as the entire project team.

As CM, Banton has successfully coordinated all of the entities involved in the project and ensured that they are performing their functions properly and coordinating with all involved parties in order to realize the best flow of construction, quality control and value.

Banton has helped numerous owners to achieve the best possible value for their projects, and we feel that utilizing the right manager in the construction management role is no different than hiring the right attorney, accountant or marketing professional. As part of its construction management services, Banton offers a winning combination of experience, quality and value, as well as a daily commitment to the project.

As CM, Banton has proven to be a strong team leader, resolving all issues harmoniously and fairly. With the understanding that assembling the best players and approaching the project as a team effort is of utmost importance, Banton has repeatedly achieved the best results in each of its projects. Banton's first priority is to protect and enhance the owner's interests, for our ultimate goal is to continue to the next project; again representing the Owner.

Below is a sampling of several of the key projects of which Banton has provided construction management services:

Sturbridge Commons Office Park – North Haven, CT This project involved the complete site development and construction of a nine building office park. Designed and built to simulate a historic colonial village, this project was completed in record time and serves as one of Banton's first landmark projects. Some seventy percent of the trade work was performed with Banton's in-house forces.
Bell Atlantic Central Office & Mobile Telephone Switch – Albany, NY The project consisted of the construction of a new 40,000 square foot facility in just three months. Requirements included the development of a fully wooded five acre lot, replacement of soils prior to construction of the foundations and full building construction with redundant utility services and hidden security features. This period took place in the heart of the winter and all protection measures were incorporated to successfully meet the seemingly impossible schedule. An additional three months completed the central office spaces for owner occupation.
Southern New England Telephone Call Center – Hamden, CT In producing this facility for SNET, Banton acted as a "Construction Manager at Risk" utilizing its own forces for much of the trade work. Banton's forces performed the demolition, concrete, carpentry, metal framing, drywall and electrical portions of the project's trade packages. The project consisted of converting a conventional 40,000 square foot warehouse building into a state of the art telephone switch, office facilities and a call center. Full site development, which included a storm water retention and soil recharge system and construction of a major retaining wall, was also a part of the package.
