Most of what goes wrong is a handoff.
418 Buildings finished since 1995
Concrete, steel and carpentry crews are on our payroll. Same badge, same Monday briefing, same superintendent. A deck that comes in early meets steel that's already in our yard.
How a job actually runsThree trades we never hand off.
Concrete, steel and carpentry are ours: our crews, our tools, our schedule. Preconstruction, tenant improvements and envelope work we buy out in the open and stand behind anyway.
Cast-in-place concrete
Footings, foundations, slabs and tilt-up panels. Our forms, our finishers, our pump. If the pour moves up a week, we move with it. No one to call, nothing to renegotiate.
Structural steel
Erection, joists and decking up to eight storeys. AISC-certified crew, and a detailer who sits about twenty feet from the estimators, which is why RFIs come back the same afternoon.
Rough & finish carpentry
Framing, blocking, millwork, doors and hardware. The carpenters who frame the walls come back to hang the casework, so nobody gets to blame the other guy for the reveal.
Buildings you can go stand in front of.
Four from the last four years. Square footage is gross, and the dates are what happened, not what was scheduled.
Six steps,
first walk to warranty.
-
Step 01
First walk
An hour on your site with a superintendent. Free, and nothing to sign at the end of it.
-
Step 02
A real number at 30% drawings
A range with every assumption listed under it. Lands within 4% of final on most jobs.
-
Step 03
Bid and buy out, in the open
Every trade's number on the table, ours included. You see who we'd pick and what the others cost.
-
Step 04
Build
Superintendent on site daily, look-ahead every Friday by four, a mobile number that gets answered.
-
Step 05
Close out
Punch list walked with you. Manuals, warranties and as-builts land before we ask for final payment.
-
Step 06
The eleven-month walk
We come back a month before the warranty runs out and fix whatever moved.
Numbers we'd hand to your lender.

Bonding capacity on a single project. Same surety since 1995, and they'll take your call.
The part we don't get to write.
Three of them here. Sixty-two more since 2019, averaging 4.9. Two of those are three stars, and we’d rather you read those first.
“They flagged a six-week steel delay before our own consultant caught it, then showed up with three ways to claw it back. We used two of them. We opened on the original date.”
“Open book meant open book. I asked to see a bid they hadn’t taken and had it in twenty minutes, with a note explaining why they passed on it. Nobody had ever handed me a losing bid before.”
“Not one tenant called me during the work. In fourteen years of managing this building that has never happened, and we did the whole envelope with every floor still occupied.”
Everything owners ask us on the first call.
If yours isn't here, ring the office. Somebody who has actually built something will pick up.
Nothing. An hour of a superintendent's time and an honest read on whether we're right for the job. Roughly one in five ends with us recommending somebody else.
At about 30% drawings. You'll get a range with the assumptions spelled out, and on most jobs it lands within 4% of where the final number ends up.
$2M to $40M, Denver metro and up the Front Range as far as Fort Collins. Under $2M you'll be better served by a smaller shop, and we'll name two we'd use ourselves.
82% of concrete and 71% of steel erection last year, by people on our payroll. Ask for the certified payroll records and we'll send them over.
Most of our tenant improvement work is. Nights and weekends, negative-air containment, dust walls that actually get sealed, and tenant notices that go out before we start.
Yes, with three architects we've worked with for years. We'll also work with yours. No preference and no markup either way. We've heard the stories too.
One superintendent and one project manager, both named in the contract. They stay until the punch list is signed, and you get their mobile numbers at the kickoff.
You hear it the Friday we know, not the week it lands. Liquidated damages stay in our contracts because we expect to hit the date. We've paid them twice in thirty-one years.
