Our unique approach to team building affords each of our clients the opportunity to draw upon a full range of design and construction capabilities offered by MATRIX that may be tailored to meet the specialized needs of each and every project. This unique arrangement allows for tremendous cost-savings to the client, better economies of scale, and increased coordination between the different elements and disciplines involved in each project.
Matrix offers a vast spectrum of services, providing practical solutions to even the greatest challenges.

Project Management is a variation on Design/Bid/Build. The owner contracts with a professional project management firm or individual who then acts as the owner’s representative to manage the design and construction activities. The owner still contracts directly with the architect and contractor but the contract language recognizes the presence of the project manager as an agent of the owner. The advantage for the owner is having an independent and highly skilled management representative who is focused only on the owner’s goals for success. The project manager will reduce claims, maintain cost/schedule controls, and reduce the time and expertise demands on the owner. Matrix staff offers broad experience in performing projects in a construction management role, experience that makes it possible to act as the owner's agent and manager of the entire building process. The overall benefits of the construction management approach are: Design and construction can proceed concurrently-saving time and money. The architect and general contractor can share expertise early in the design phase. This process, which controls employees, money, and materials, works directly for the owner's interest.

Design/Build is a method of project delivery in which Matrix assumes total responsibility for the design and construction of a project. This responsibility includes performing design services and construction, and in many instances, assistance with site selection. The design/build approach offers many advantages over the traditional approach of using separate companies for design and construction. These advantages translate into benefits for the customer in many areas.
The customer gains cost savings through a process called value engineering. In this process, Matrix explores ways to improve quality and reduce costs early in the project and continues to do so throughout design and construction.
Because the adversarial relationship, which sometimes occurs between the designer and contractor, is eliminated, all efforts are focused on achieving the highest quality product for the customer. Being the sole source also serves as motivation to provide the best possible project performance.
Additional benefits of the design/build approach includes timesaving’s and firm cost estimates. By combining design and construction elements, the overall time to complete the project is shortened. Also by allowing one company to handle design and construction elements, the customer can find out early in the process what final costs will be, and can count on them to remain consistent.
In the design build approach, the owner hires Matrix and Matrix is responsible for the project from start of design through completion of construction. This type of delivery system is the most appropriate where the owner does not have a complete set of design requirements and has limited financial and time resources. In the Design Build approach, the owner and Matrix reach agreement early in the process on a basic design and a Guaranteed maximum price. Matrix then proceeds to complete the design and construct the project within the Guaranteed Maximum Price. This method of project delivery allows fast track completion of both design and construction.
Matrix offers complete inspection support for all phases of construction. Experienced, highly qualified professionals ensure quality and compliance with the approved project documents, accepted industry standards, and all building codes having jurisdiction from fabrication of materials through completion of project development.

DESIGN / BUILD
A collaborative approach to maximize efficiency—and reduce uncertainty.
Certainty of outcome. Those three words have come to be our calling card. It’s why our clients choose us for their most challenging Design/Build projects. Our way forward is always collaborative to maximize efficiency and reduce uncertainty.
It begins with design development. Working hand-in-hand with our architect partners, we select an approach that meets your programmatic, budgetary, and aesthetic goals. We establish design and construction contingencies to help maintain the budget.
With the framework in place before construction even begins, Design/Build ensures cost and schedule control—the team shares responsibility for delivering a well-designed project at the price and schedule committed to.
Before damages can be corrected, claimed or defended, it is imperative to determine the actual extent and cause of a construction failure or defect and the responsible party. Matrix is the consultant of choice for both plaintiffs or defendants involved in residential or commercial disputes. Providing the complete team of experts, Matrixprovides the damage investigation and analysis required to achieve timely resolution of failed or defective projects. Our experts are trained in the process of identifying the causes of construction defects and failures by analyzing the project’s design and as-built construction. Most construction defects or failures are manifested in the forms of:
Water Penetration
Collapsed Walls or Structures
Foundation Failures
Building Cracks
Failed Roofs
Fires
Subsidence
Earthquakes
Deck Failures
Wind
MATRIX specializes in the investigation and independent evaluation and resolution of all types of construction defect disputes. MATRIX involvement in a construction defect assignment can occur any time from initial discovery of the defects through and including litigation and/or arbitration. MATRIX basic approach to investigation of construction defects begins with a site visit, in-depth discovery and research of the project and project documents, defining dispute issues, developing a detailed inspection program, investigation of documented evidence and independent objective evaluation of the terms of the contracts in force. A customized work plan is developed for each particular assignment that best suits the client’s needs. A typical sequence of work is described below:
Pre-Inspection
During the pre-inspection phase, Matrixreviews all construction documents, reviews allegations, reviews and/or prepares homeowner questionnaires, establishes time of alleged defect manifestation and compiles other pertinent information. The analysis of defects and their causes and recognition of necessary repairs are aided by this preliminary document review. By obtaining copies of essential documents before inspection begins, overlapping scheduling and wasted effort (and cost) is avoided.
Inspection
During the inspection phase, Matrixdocuments the alleged deficient materials and/or workmanship. Inspections are usually scheduled for several days per week in order to combine and organize information obtained from inspections with photographs, floor plans, and inspection sheets, which gives the client and its counsel immediate access to information as it is discovered. Inspection programs are designed to accurately show whether or not a defect is project wide.

In addition to traditional general contractor services, Matrix is proud to serve as a construction manager, owner’s representative or program manager. These are great alternatives for companies that need to shift risk and management resources outside their organization.
This service line leverages our project managers and cross-disciplinary expertise from our sister divisions and parent company. We can negotiate contracts, manage bid processes, and advocate for you, the owner, from beginning to end – of one or multiple construction projects.
CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT
It’s about maximizing value, minimizing issues, and delivering results.
Most construction management companies would agree with, “We are what we build.” We take it to the next level, “We are how well and worry-free we build for you.” It’s about maximizing value, minimizing issues, and delivering results.
Not every construction manager offers the world-class customer service and value-added services that we do. These are the things that matter the most yet seem to be offered the least.

Navigating a course through complex and subjective approvals is a fundamental step in advancing a project and securing long-term value for your property.
If your site needs annexation, an Environmental Impact Report, general plan amendment, rezoning, planned development permit, conditional use permit, variance or development agreement, you’ll need to know both the regulator and political steps required to secure these approvals.
Taking proactive control of the entitlement process can maximize future rights and flexibility, reduce your approval and litigation risk, and minimize development constraints—resulting in faster approvals, less risk of denial, higher development densities, larger developable areas, longer vesting of development rights, and lower legal and construction costs. Improve your bottom line by finding a partner who specializes in developing successful entitlement strategies.
