All construction projects are different and present their own specific set of challenges to everyone involved. At Lacy Construction Company we offer a variety of services to handle these challenges and meet the needs of our clients. Below is a list and description of the services we offer to our clients, or if you are considering a construction project for your company contact us.

Traditional Method
The client retains an architect to perform the design services, and construction is performed by a general contractor (usually selected from the lowest bid). The design, procurement and construction proceed in a sequential order.

Design/Build
The client contracts with Lacy Construction Company to provide the total design and construction services needed for the project, often called a "turn-key" project. Lacy will assemble (and employ) a team of architects-engineers licensed and certified in Nebraska, along with mechanical and electrical contractors to provide the client with a better building experience and finished project. It has been said that, "The only real opportunity for saving money in a construction project is during the planning phase . . . beyond that point, money can only be spent." The Design / Build method creates that opportunity by assembling a team at the beginning of the project, rather than segmenting it up.

Design/Build/Lease
This service is the same as Design / Build except it offers financing to the client who has the need for a new facility but does not have the necessary financing available. The client can have a new facility without the initial heavy burden of the cost of construction.

Construction Management
As defined in a construction dictionary, "A project delivery system that differs from the traditional design-bid-build system by utilizing the services of a construction manager who becomes a member of the team of owner-architect-construction manager. The manager's role is to coordinate and communicate the entire project process, utilizing his skill and knowledge of construction to clarify cost and time consequences of design decisions as well as their construction feasibility; and to manage the bidding, award and construction phases of the project."

Feasibility Study
This service is useful if the client is not exactly sure of what they need or want. A feasibility study can determine such factors as: market research, new facility and land needs, and preliminary plans and estimates.
