Innovative Construction Management

municipalities together to meet anticipated water and power needs. These partnerships are fluid and can be easily customized, and they allow for earlier collaboration between landowners, utilities, and other stakeholders and contractors. In early 2021, we broke ground on a perfect example of this principle — the C-51 Reservoir. This 15-year collaboration brought together regional municipalities, utilities, landowners, and contractors to design a fully-conceptualized product to meet the surrounding communities’ water resource and environmental sustainability needs. By partnering with local stakeholders, we leveraged our experience as a contractor to develop project execution, procurement, and mobilization plans as part of the design process, saving time and avoiding schedule delays. Public-private partnerships allow communities and municipalities to assess their needs and create opportunities for creative problem solving among contractors and engineers. Other P3 partnerships, like the Pasco County Water Reuse Project, resulted in mutually beneficial, multi-use projects creating value for both municipalities and private landowners. This shift to Contractor-Led EPC, along with other non-traditional project delivery methods like P3s, allows us to innovate beyond conventional techniques. By involving contractors earlier in the development process, clients can realize the tangible cost, design, and production benefits to better serve their communities.
