We Provide A Full Service Approach

We offer the best-in-class Construction and Building Services. From generic inquires on building methods, to Design and Construction, we’re here for you. Our goal is to help inform our clients on all possible options, empowering them to make the most educated decision on how to move their projects forward.

PRE-CONSTRUCTION & DESIGN

The Pre-Construction Phase is one of the most important stages in building. Each project/client is unique, requiring a specific level of involvement that matches their needs. Hive Developers offers very customizable services such as; Feasibility Studies, Design Procurement, Estimating & Iterative Budgeting, Value Engineering & Constructability Studies.

GENERAL CONTRACTING

This is the traditional construction structure. Under this model, the design team is chosen first to complete the working drawings and specifications. Based on the drawings, General Contractors will then provide a Stipulated Sum or Fixed Sum quote to cover the total cost of Construction, including overhead, general conditions, materials, equipment, as well as the cost of labour.

DESIGN TO BUILD

This delivery model offers a single point of contact for the entire construction project. With the Design-Build option, the Contractor takes over responsibility of the Design team, and will submit a lump sum contract price to provide Construction Drawings, Permits, and to Construct the project based upon a set of agreed-upon criteria.

CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT

Construction Management allows the owner to take a significant role in the project. In this model, the owner pays a management fee to the Construction Manager to act as their representative. The fee excludes all labour, subcontractor and consultant fees, as well as material costs, which are passed on to the owner on an at-cost basis from the Construction Manager. Decisions on which subtrades are hired are made collaboratively, in an effort to get the best total value for the project and not just the lowest possible price.

WHO WE ARE

Hive Developers prides itself on adding a personal touch to every project and is committed to supporting the local economy. Whenever possible, we use local trades and suppliers who provide competitive pricing and scheduling.

Our clients often comment about the “old school” feeling about doing business with Hive Developers. This is due to the personal attention, respect and honesty with which we treat their business – before, during and after the project. It is part of the culture at Hive Developers and part of what separates us from other companies.
