Our Services
Construction Services from Planning to Closeout
Preconstruction & Planning
The best time to protect a budget is before design is finished. We join the owner and design team early to review constructability, sequencing and site logistics, and we bring in key trade partners while the design can still change. By mobilization, scope, budget, schedule and permitting path are already lined up.
- Defining project scope, program, space needs and success criteria
- Constructability reviews and design-coordination input
- Master schedules, long-lead item identification and procurement planning
- Permitting strategy and early coordination with Authorities Having Jurisdiction
Estimating & Cost Control
We treat cost management as an ongoing job, not a single estimate. Budgets start from detailed, trade-level takeoffs and are checked against current market and subcontractor pricing. We carry them from conceptual budget through design development to a Guaranteed Maximum Price or bid, then track them against actual cost during construction so surprises turn up early.
- Conceptual (ROM) budgets, design-development estimates and GMP pricing
- Value engineering weighed against schedule and quality
- Contingency planning that steps down as the design firms up
- Real-time cost tracking and reporting in Procore
Construction Management at-Risk
CM at-Risk is the method Reno Boyd was built around. We work as the owner’s partner from preconstruction on, commit to a price, usually a GMP, and then manage cost, schedule, quality and safety through closeout. Each project has a dedicated Superintendent, Project Manager and Project Engineer, with direct oversight from leadership.
- Prequalified trade partners, with at least three competitive bids per trade, leveled for scope
- Weekly owner-architect-contractor (OAC) and subcontractor coordination meetings
- Master schedule updates, two-week look-ahead planning and monthly reports
- Quality control through pre-installation meetings and field oversight, plus jobsite safety management
General Contracting / Design-Bid-Build
When an owner already has a finished design, we price it competitively and deliver it as the general contractor. Our estimators go through the documents carefully and buy out every trade from qualified partners. Once the work starts, our project team runs it with the same discipline and reporting we bring to CM at-Risk.
- Thorough bid-document review and pre-bid clarifications
- Competitive trade buyout and scope leveling
- Backed by $75M bonding capacity
- Full project management, supervision and closeout
Development Services
Developers and owners need a builder who understands what makes a project financeable, not only what it takes to build it. We help line up scope, budget and phasing with lender, grant and other funding requirements, plan the permitting and entitlement path, and break work into phases or bid packages that match when funding is available. That gives owners numbers they can take to their stakeholders and a plan they can carry out.
- Design-phase estimates aligned with owner, lender or grant requirements
- Permitting and entitlement strategy, including phased permitting
- Phased construction and bid packages matched to funding
- Cost tracking and documentation to support draws, reporting and reimbursement
Due Diligence & Site Planning
Before an owner commits to a site or a building, we help them understand what they are taking on. We check existing conditions against the drawings, identify jurisdictional and utility requirements, and plan site access and logistics. Owners make the decision with real costs and constraints in front of them.
- Existing-conditions verification, photo surveys and targeted exploratory demolition where appropriate
- Jurisdictional requirements and submittal timelines
- Utility coordination, easements and site logistics planning
- Early budget and schedule ranges to support go/no-go decisions
Renovation, Adaptive Reuse & Historic Restoration
Some of our most demanding work happens inside buildings that have to stay open, and in landmarks that can’t be replaced. We have managed historic and structural repairs on a landmark university building, historic restoration of a landmark college building in Ybor City, and phased renovations on occupied school and college campuses. Careful phasing and clear communication with building users are part of every plan.
- Phasing and logistics for occupied campuses, hotels and medical facilities
- Historic and structural repairs coordinated with the design team
- Infection-control (ICRA) planning for healthcare renovations
- Existing-conditions documentation before work begins
How We Deliver
Delivery Methods That Fit the Project
We recommend a delivery method based on the owner’s schedule, how much risk they want to carry and how far along the design is. In every method, our team manages the work and our prequalified trade partners build it.
Construction Management at-Risk
We join during design, provide preconstruction services, and commit to a price before construction. This is our core method on public and institutional work.
Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP)
Usually a cost-plus contract with a GMP, so the owner sees actual costs and gets a firm ceiling. Contingency is reduced step by step as the design firms up.
Stipulated Sum
A fixed price for a defined scope. One of our hangar projects, for example, was delivered by CM at-Risk under a stipulated-sum agreement.
Design-Bid-Build
Competitive pricing of completed construction documents, with Reno Boyd as general contractor.
Continuing Services
Ongoing CM at-Risk contracts with public owners, including school districts and public colleges.

Plan
We define scope, program, budget and schedule with the owner and design team, test constructability and map the permitting path.

Our Superintendent and project team run the site. They lead weekly coordination meetings, keep the schedule current, track cost in Procore and report to the owner every month.
