Revenue model

1. General Contracting Services: Traditional general contracting services where Forrester serves as the primary contractor for construction projects, managing subcontractors and project execution from preconstruction through closeout. Revenue is generated through project-based contracts awarded via competitive bidding, best value procurement, or IDIQ contracts.
2. Preconstruction Services: Value-added preconstruction services including construction cost estimates, value engineering, constructability reviews, site utilization planning, and scheduling. These services are provided as part of the overall project engagement or as standalone consulting.
3. Design-Build Services: Single-source project delivery system where Forrester provides integrated design and construction services. The Design Build Group, established in 2000, includes architects, engineers, and construction professionals offering turn-key delivery.

Core offering

Forrester Construction is a DC Metropolitan area general contractor offering commercial construction management, preconstruction, and design-build services. The firm serves government, healthcare, education, cultural, and commercial clients with integrated Virtual Design & Construction (VDC), quality control, safety, and sustainability capabilities. Projects are acquired through competitive bidding, best value procurement, IDIQ contracts, and design-build direct engagement.

Product overview

Forrester Construction is a general contractor offering a unified suite of construction services rather than distinct software products. Their core service portfolio includes three interconnected offerings: (1) General Contracting with construction management, encompassing safety-first approach, quality management, scheduling, virtual design and construction (VDC), and sustainability practices; (2) Preconstruction Services including construction cost estimates, value engineering, LEED certification analysis, constructability reviews, site utilization planning, and phasing plans; and (3) Design-Build Services with a dedicated Design Build Group established in 2000. These services are delivered as an integrated construction offering, not as separate software products or modules.
