Construction Management is one of the tools we provide expertise with in today’s building marketplace. As a leader in our industry, we were on the front lines of bringing Construction Manager as Constructor (CMc) to our local government and public clients, providing influential testimony on House Bill 1196. Whether at risk or as an Agent (CMa), acting as an extension of your team, Garmong brings our century of building expertise into the 21st century to provide you the skill that will bring vision to reality.
Our approach to Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) is like a well-choreographed dance where we take the lead and make sure the public entity doesn’t miss a step. In a nutshell, the public entity says, “Here’s what we need and what we can afford,” and we take it from there—designing, building, operating, and finally transferring the facility. This method is a win-win because it transfers almost all the risk to Garmong while ensuring the project meets the public entity’s needs. With a team of industry leaders ready to dive in, we will take full responsibility for delivering the finished product and ensuring you can sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride.
Garmong has served as a General Contractor since its founding in 1923… we know how to build! It is the very foundation of our construction capability. In fact, knowing how to “swing the hammer” is the cornerstone of the other services we provide. Proud of our relationship with the Trades, Garmong maintains a significant field presence throughout the building season. Whether self-performing, with over 100 folks outfitted in high-vis green shirts on site, or managing our team members in the sub-contractor world, we got you covered.
We don’t like to brag, but we sure don’t mind it when our clients do it for us! From the shores of Lake Michigan to the banks of the Ohio, Garmong Development Company, LLC, enjoys the praise of those in the Economic Development ranks. Public and private sector advocates often cite Garmong as a catalyst for many economic improvement projects. We have worked hard to earn that label and take pride in our work with the Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC) , the Indiana Economic Development Association (IEDA) and dozens of Local and Regional Economic Development Organizations (LEDO’s and REDO’s) alike!
As a pioneer of the Design-Build delivery method in Indiana, we have paved the way for single-sourced, competitively-priced, fast-track projects throughout the state. We began using Design-Build back in the 1950’s, before it was cool, with projects such as Crawford Elementary School and Maryland Community Church in Terre Haute, both of which are still standing and repurposed. A who’s-who list, as-long-as your arm, of top Architecture firm relationships keep us in trusted company when taking charge of the design process on your project. Let us know if we can put you among the 82% of repeat clients, by leveraging this delivery method for your next project!
