Questions owners ask before they build.

Architectural drawings or an RFP if you have them, the parcel address, your target groundbreaking date and a budget range. If you only have a concept, we can start with a feasibility study and a conceptual estimate.

A conceptual estimate usually takes about a week. A full line-item estimate with quantity takeoffs and trade bid packages typically takes three to six weeks, depending on project size and how complete the drawings are.

Our bids are itemized. Any allowance or contingency is shown as its own line with an explanation, never buried inside other costs.

With design-build, one contract covers both design and construction, which usually shortens the schedule and sets pricing earlier. With a general contract, you bring completed drawings and we bid and build to those documents.

Yes. We regularly provide pre-construction services alongside an owner’s existing architect and engineers, then bid or negotiate the construction phase.

We aim to minimize them by pricing realistically up front. When scope genuinely changes, you receive a written change order with itemized cost and schedule impact before any work proceeds.

Yes. Our pre-construction team handles permit expediting, zoning variance navigation and municipal agency sign-offs, and tracks them against the project schedule.

You get weekly reports covering budget, schedule, open RFIs and upcoming milestones, plus access to our project management platform for real-time updates.

Yes. We carry comprehensive coverage and can provide certificates of insurance and bonding capacity letters with your bid package.

You receive as-built drawings, warranties and operation and maintenance manuals. Warranty items are tracked and closed by the same project manager who ran the build.
