Hudson's Site Building Thread

[hybridy]

Ha! Having worked in the industry I can tell you that almost never DOESN'T happen. And the larger the development, the more common it is.

Yeah, it's rare these days. It's called Design-Bid-Build. It's not very common these days as owners want Speed to Market. So architects and engineers break buildings into multiple bid packages and release the over time. Civil and structure go first while architecture and interiors will slide out, as getting into the ground and going vertical will take time. It provides risk to the owner, because decisions get delayed and then costs are incurred as the contractor bid earlier drafts of the documents when late changes are requested. This is because the owner typically requests a GMP [[guaranteed maximum price) but then changes their damn mind after GMP is accepted.

Regarding Hudsons - final documents are going out for hard bid in November.
