From the top down, we have people with construction experience in every key areas, and throughout our teams and departments including property preservation.

WHAT ADDED VALUE DO YOU BRING TO YOUR CLIENTS?: Our clients value our dependability, craftsman-grade workmanship, quick timelines, cost‐effective pricing, friendly professional staff, construction management expertise, and accountability. A great value example is that our cost estimators are knowledgeable about the requirements and average cost for each type of job. As each job is reviewed, the estimator is able to determine if the bid amount in question is too high or low for the scope of work provided. If the bid is too high, we discuss the proposal with our field crew to gather additional information about why the job is higher in cost than it would normally be, and we adjust or negotiate as necessary. If the price is extremely low, our estimators check to ensure that any items are not missing before submitting the estimate. Accurately completing an estimate saves our clients the time and costs involved in requesting additional items, scopes, and missing information. Accurate estimates also save time and money by reducing the amount of change in orders and by giving our clients the right numbers they need to make decisions while performing due diligence, which helps mitigate surprise costs. WHAT ARE THE KEYS TO YOUR SUCCESS?: It's all about the people and picking the right partners, employees, and vendors. All of these people have to be dedicated to succeed. We have great people that we work with, from someone at the desk to someone in the field, all of these people create a dynamic that encourages growth.
