Paragon has a great reputation and exceptional expertise in this form of contracting. The company guarantees prompt and efficient involvement, as well as specialized tools and management processes to ensure ceaseless and rigorous monitoring of all the stages of your project.

Project management is a procurement method by which a client chooses a company to take on the entire design, management and execution of the project and its construction. The project manager sees to obtaining the required permits and insurance with the proper authorities; analysing the client’s budget requirements; establishing a project schedule; selecting and supervising the consultants; validating the plans and specifications; managing supplier and subcontractor tendering; administering contracts and milestone payment requests; producing progress reports and ensuring conformity of the work.

Extensive expertise, from the onset of the project, better control over budget and scheduling, fast-track design and construction, lower management and construction risks and better price/quality ratio are among the many benefits of this contractual method.

From predesign to delivery, Paragon’s team of experts can help you effectively manage each step of your project.

Design-building is a contracting method by which Paragon carries out a project in a turnkey fashion and for a set price, in accordance with the client’s needs and technical requirements stipulated in the call for proposals. Paragon calls upon the professionals that are the most skilled for the nature of the work at hand to develop plans and specifications that meet the client’s expectations. The proposal includes a project outline and a fixed price for the cost of the entire work. Our professionals handle the preconstruction and construction phases of your project. The Paragon team demonstrates the strength of its experience, the quality of its work and the disciplined thoroughness of its management.

Transfer of all construction, budget and performance risks to the design-builder, optimized project management, enhanced communication between the different participants involved, lower risks, reduced costs, and tighter control over budget and scheduling right from the start of the project are among the many benefits of this contracting method.

Paragon holds extensive expertise with this approach, having worked as designer-builder for several major projects.

Beyond the above-mentioned procurement methods, Paragon can adapt to the specific needs of a client. Several factors call for such an approach:

• the advanced stage of a project
• the financing method of the project
• the unique nature of the work
• the date at which the building must become operational

Over the years, Paragon has taken on numerous challenges and saw them through with great success. Our team has shown it can choose the right procurement method to carry out work that meets clients’ expectations.

The designing and planning phase of a project is the perfect opportunity to control future costs. It is indeed at this stage that clients have the most latitude to minimize upcoming expenses by carefully planning the choice of professionals, supply strategy, budget and scheduling, as well as longer-term maintenance and operational costs.
