CLEVOR helps General Contractors and Construction Managers build a competitive advantage
Because the jobs General Contractors and Construction Managers undertake, have given specification and scope, they cannot easily differentiate them selves from their competition.
In the case of fixed price projects, Clevor enables the General Contractors and Construction Managers significantly reduce the total duration of the project while also reducing their total costs. This enables the general Contractors a competitive edge, which is difficult to beat. In case of the large capital projects, this can enable them to earn huge early completion bonuses.
In case of the projects where the General Contractors and Construction Managers negotiate their fee as a percentage of the total cost of the project, it does enable them to differentiate themselves from their competition and still enables them to earn early completion bonuses.
