GC / CM Selection Toolkit

Run a consistent, defensible general-contractor interview and score every firm against the same weighted criteria. Use the Interview Guide to run the meeting and the Scorecard to rank the teams. Nothing here is project-specific — edit the firms, weights, and questions to fit your selection.

Selection details

Agenda

A typical 50-minute GC interview. Adjust the timing and owners to fit your panel.

Question bank

Work through the eight areas below. Capture answers in the notes field under each — they print with the guide and can anchor the scoring conversation afterward.

How scoring works. Each category caps at its point value; the six weights are meant to total 100. A firm's total is the sum of its category scores; the highest total is outlined in gold. Weights, categories, firms, and questions are all editable — this is a framework, not a fixed rubric.
A decision aid, not a decision. Use it to structure the panel's judgment and document the rationale. · Leading the Build™ · 3BRE LLC
