Capable of taking an unimproved property from design through completion of construction and occupancy. Working with property owners, architects, engineers, and local county and city government agencies to make the vision of your project a reality.
We work with all types of existing properties on minor alterations and complete interior remodels to suit the needs of our clients. Familiar with working for property owners, property managers, and tenants, all while understanding the unique relationships of each. We can take an existing space and transform it to make it feel and function the way you want it to.
Whether it’s taking an undeveloped piece of land to prepare it for new construction or taking an existing property and improving it to make it more functional and code compliant, we understand how to help maximize the functionality and potential of your property.
This more classical type of construction design allows for a consistent bid process by having an already completed set of design drawings that are sent out to bid. Design elements are already determined at bid time and are tightly controlled throughout. We understand the administrative requirements that go into these types of projects and can provide precise bid packages based upon thorough review of the design drawings and specifications.
We offer full-service project management throughout all stages of your project. From establishing initial contract values, creating and maintaining schedules, tracking and communicating changes in scopes of work and their resulting impacts, we know that our clients depend on our ability to manage each of these aspects to make their projects a success.
We find that the pre-construction portion of the project is often the most important phase. It is during this time that preliminary budgets can be established, constructability issues can be identified, and expectations for timelines can be developed. We work closely with owners, designers, and government agencies prior to the start of construction to make sure the unknown becomes the known before any work begins, thereby reducing the chance of costly surprises once construction starts.
The Design/Build process can offer a substantial schedule and cost savings when performed correctly.
Design/Build projects integrate the General Contractor and MEP subcontractors directly into the design process from the outset, allowing for tighter cost and schedule controls from the get-go.
A recent study revealed that design-build projects reach completion 33.5 percent faster than traditional construction projects. There are fewer change orders, and unit costs are typically 6.1 percent lower than design-bid-build (Plan/Spec) projects.
In traditional construction projects, the design process is done without input from the contractors. Architects and Engineers are recruited to design and manage the compartments. Meanwhile, scope creep flourishes, and the project can get quickly out of hand.
With Design-Build you can shape the project to meet your costs as you design. Removing the costly and time consuming re-designs that so often come from the Design-Bid-Build (Plan/Spec) process.
