Each project has its own particular nature and context, and Duquette Construction therefore offers its clientele a number of types of contracts:

Project management – Turnkey

This type de contract, used in the majority of Duquette Construction projects, allows the client to benefit from the expertise and advice of our company right from the project’s earliest phases. Duquette Construction participates in the design process with professionals it oversees in order to optimize the project’s needs and budget. The advantages of this approach are numerous, as it allows for:

  • a better choice of materials and design options in accordance with the available budget
  • substantial savings
  • improved control of the timetable (considerable time savings)
  • fewer worries for the client, as Duquette Construction executes all of the tasks associated with the project’s realization.

Construction management

This management model is ideal for a number of our clients who wish to have a contractual link with the professionals in charge of the design and preparation of plans. As with the turnkey projects, a cost-plus contract is often used. This type of contract offers transparency in the call for tenders process while outsourcing to sub-contractors; these tenders are then proposed to the client according to the offers received. The cost of the work is increased by a percentage agreed upon by the parties.

Construction work can also begin as soon as the preliminary budget has been established and approved, even if the plans have not been entirely completed.

Fixed fee

This traditional model is ideal for clients whose needs and project are well defined. In this case, the client awards the mandate or mandates for the design and preparation of plans to an architectural and structural, mechanical, electric and civil engineering firm.

Once the bid package has been finalized, Duquette Construction prepares a highly competitive bid that responds to the requirements issued by the professionals. The work is then conducted according to the plans and specifications, under the technical supervision of the same professionals.

This type of contract primarily applies to cases where time is not a determining factor, as the work cannot begin until all of the design and competitive bidding steps have been completed.
