A public library delivered under a fixed millage budget, with every change order priced in open book.
Public money, a fixed millage, and a board that meets in public. Every dollar of this job was going to be discussed in a room with residents in it.
Open-book, because it was going to be read
We priced the work open-book from preconstruction and brought each change to the board with the subcontractor quotes attached. It is slower. It also meant no one ever had to take our word for a number.
