Alternative delivery methods are reshaping how complex infrastructure projects are procured, financed, and delivered. At Enterris Associates, we provide strategic advisory services to help owners successfully navigate Public-Private Partnerships (P3), Construction Manager/General Contractor (CMGC), and Design-Build delivery. Our expertise ensures decisions are informed, risks are managed, and outcomes align with long-term program goals.
Advisory Services for Alternative Delivery
P3 Advisory
Public-Private Partnerships (P3) are increasingly used to deliver complex infrastructure projects by leveraging private sector expertise, financing, and innovation. These arrangements distribute roles, responsibilities, and risks across public and private partners, aligning interests to achieve cost-efficient, timely, and high-quality delivery. For owners, the success of a P3 relies on clear contractual frameworks, effective oversight, and asset management strategies that balance performance with financial sustainability.
At Enterris Associates, we provide advisory insight to guide owners through P3 delivery models. Our team evaluates financial structures, risk allocation, and lifecycle obligations to ensure partnerships are equitable. We also support owners in defining performance criteria, safeguarding accountability, and navigating negotiations with private stakeholders. Through this approach, we help public agencies realize the full potential of P3 projects.
CMGC Advisory
The Construction Manager/General Contractor (CMGC) method offers owners the advantage of integrating contractor expertise early in the project lifecycle. By involving the contractor during design, owners gain critical input on cost, schedule, and constructability, reducing uncertainties and improving overall project predictability. This collaborative model bridges the gap between design and construction, ensuring decisions are informed by real-world construction insight while allowing owners to maintain design control.
At Enterris Associates, we provide advisory services to help owners optimize CMGC delivery. We help clients structure preconstruction agreements, evaluate cost models, and establish transparent processes for risk allocation. We also ensure Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) negotiations reflect market realities and project objectives. By representing owner interests throughout preconstruction and construction, we enable smoother transitions, stronger accountability, and more efficient project outcomes.
Design-Build Advisory
The Design-Build method streamlines project delivery by consolidating design and construction under a single contractual entity. This approach accelerates schedules, reduces handoff delays, and enhances coordination between disciplines. Owners benefit from a more integrated process where designers and builders collaborate from the outset, resulting in improved constructability, cost predictability, and fewer disputes. However, success in this model requires strong oversight to ensure efficiency does not come at the expense of quality.
Enterris Associates provides expert advisory services to help owners handle Design-Build projects. We construct comprehensive procurement strategies, establish clear technical and contractual requirements, and manage team alignment. Acting as the owner’s representative, we safeguard objectives, oversee performance, and ensure accountability. Our approach transforms the inherent efficiencies of Design-Build into measurable project value while protecting the long-term interests of the owner.
Dedicated Owner Representation
Alternative delivery methods such as P3, CMGC, and Design-Build offer owners significant advantages, but each method also introduces unique complexities in contracts, risk allocation, and performance management. Without experienced oversight, owners can face challenges in maintaining control, ensuring accountability, and aligning diverse stakeholder interests. Effective owner representation ensures that project objectives remain the priority, even when responsibilities are shared across multiple parties.
At Enterris Associates, we serve as an extension of the owner’s team, integrating technical, contractual, and financial expertise to safeguard outcomes. Our role provides clarity in decision-making, proactive risk management, and a unified voice for the owner throughout design, procurement, and construction.
By combining strategic foresight with oversight, we enable owners to capture the efficiencies of alternative delivery without compromising compliance, budget discipline, or long-term asset performance.
The key benefits of dedicated owner representation include:
- Transparency across negotiations and contractual frameworks
- Reduced exposure to unforeseen risks and cost escalations
- Streamlined collaboration between contractors, designers, and stakeholders
- Performance accountability throughout the project lifecycle
- Safeguarding public interest in long-term financial and operational outcomes
