Early Contractor Involvement

Cherne Services - Early Contractor Involvement

Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) is an innovative project delivery method that integrates construction expertise into the early phases of project development to establish cost and schedule certainty. Through ECI we:

• Build integrated project schedules that factor in engineering, procurement, and construction.
• Optimize project controls with early development of Work Breakdown Structures, cost controls, and risk evaluations.
• Develop transparent, realistic estimates in the preconstruction stage.
• Identify cost-saving opportunities with a team of builders, who collectively focus on modularization/prefabrication, constructability, and logistics.
