General Contracting

WIELAND participates in the fixed-bid arena for projects in the public sector under select circumstances and in market sectors where fixed price contracts are still the norm.

“Due to the nature of our mission, we prefer to bid to institutions that allow a limited number of pre-qualified general contractors, participating in a best-price, best-value bidding process,” explains WIELAND’s CEO, Ed Lorenz.  “However, there are occasions when we will participate in general fixed price competitions.  Due to our excellent subcontractor relationships across the United States, we can be competitive nearly anywhere.”

WIELAND’s stature as a non-self performing construction contractor does not preclude it from competing against  other “traditional”, self-performing general contractors.  In some markets it has formed strategic alliances or joint ventures to team with those GC’s who still have these services, bringing the power of WIELAND’s management system and combining it with larger, self-perform contractors.

“Clearly our mission suggests that we will do most of our work in the Construction Management or Design/Build arenas,” Lorenz says.  “But there are times when the general contracting delivery method is required and WIELAND can compete here as well.”
