Owner advisory, preconstruction, construction management, general contracting, design-build, and post-occupancy support — delivered by a single integrated team accountable from concept through year-ten warranty work.
Whether you're sketching a feasibility study or about to mobilize a 92-story tower, the same Primetime project executive owns the outcome from day one to occupancy.
Before a project becomes a project, owners need clarity. We provide independent feasibility studies, capital planning support, site selection analysis, and benchmarking against comparable Chicago developments — at no cost when we're a candidate to deliver the work.
The most consequential work happens before a single beam is set. Our 80-person preconstruction group provides budgeting, scheduling, constructability analysis, value engineering, MEP system selection, and procurement strategy — typically engaged 12 to 18 months before mobilization.
The core of what we do. Whether engaged as a CM-at-Risk, lump-sum GC, or under an IPD agreement, our field operations are led by superintendents who average 22 years on Chicago jobsites. Daily reporting, weekly OAC meetings, monthly project executive reviews — and one person on speed dial for the owner.
For owners who want a single point of accountability across design and construction, we lead design-build teams in partnership with Chicago's most respected architecture and engineering firms. Faster decisions, fewer change orders, and a guaranteed price earlier in the process.
Our 60-person VDC group runs full BIM coordination, 4D scheduling, laser scanning, drone-based progress capture, and digital twins for every major project. We extend these tools to subcontractors at no cost — because the more eyes on the model, the fewer surprises in the field.
The punch list is not the end. Our Owner Care program supports clients for 10 years post-occupancy with warranty coordination, building intelligence services, capital planning, and ongoing renovation support. Most of our clients are repeat clients. That's not an accident.
Before we propose anything, we want to understand what you're building, why, and for whom. The first conversation is always free and always confidential.
Our preconstruction team produces a budget, schedule, and constructability analysis grounded in real Chicago labor and material data — no national-average guesses.
The same project executive who shaped the plan owns delivery. Daily reports, weekly OAC meetings, transparent change-order math.
We deliver fully commissioned, documented, and trained operations teams — including digital twin handover and a 90-day warranty walk.
Ten years of warranty support, lifecycle planning, and one phone number that always reaches a senior project executive who knows your building.
Every project has a different risk profile, schedule pressure, and decision-making structure. Pick the model that fits — or let us help you decide.
We join the team during design, manage trade procurement, and convert to a Guaranteed Maximum Price before construction. Best for complex projects where transparency and early budget certainty both matter.
Traditional design-bid-build delivery. We bid against complete documents, hold a firm price, and execute. Best for well-defined projects where the owner wants competitive pricing certainty.
Single contract for design and construction. We lead the team, accelerate decisions, and deliver an earlier guaranteed price. Best for schedule-driven projects with clear performance criteria.
A multi-party agreement where owner, designer, and contractor share risk and reward. Best for the most complex projects where collaboration is the difference between success and overrun.
24/7 response for storm damage, fire, or critical infrastructure failures. Our restoration crews can mobilize anywhere in the Chicago metro within four hours.
For owners who use a different general contractor but want Primetime's expertise in their corner — we serve as an independent advisor through preconstruction and delivery.
Most of our owners aren't either, the first time we talk. Our preconstruction directors are happy to spend an hour mapping your project to the right delivery model — at no cost and no obligation.
