Services
Anticipating and fulfilling the client’s needs, even before they are aware of them
A fully customizable platform supports teams in any industry. Whatever your project size or budget our process is flexible enough to adjust to meet one’s needs – with a team approach. Through years of experience, from pre-construction to building, those unfortunate pitfalls that often plague our industry resulting in fractured outcomes can now be primarily avoided. Continual learning and careful evaluation during the pre-construction planning process as well as a reputation for solid execution have made us a trusted partner.
“Our reputation has been built on these processes.”

Pre-construction Planning
Value Optimization
Our goal is to provide more certainty in the construction process for our clients.
With an understanding of what you consider “valuable” coupled with thoughtful planning, your experience throughout this process-driven platform will result in a level of service above and beyond what you’ve come to expect.
From preconstruction services during the design phase to construction and beyond, bringing us in early in the development lifecycle allows for us to create a more coordinated and efficient result.
We’re here to improve the process.
With practical planning early on in the construction project, our team can look into the scope of the project and find opportunities, whether that be via life-cycle cost analysis or using more sustainable materials and efficient LEED components to maximize your return on investment.

7 Common Pitfalls in Contracting
Contracting advice from RJ Kearey
Not getting or giving clear specifications on what you want a contractor to provide a quote on. Without clear specifications, you can not compare apples to apples and may not have your complete projects scope covered. Without clear specifications, some builders will simplify specifications to reduce cost and get to the contract stage with an owner.
Not requesting an open book policy with your contractor so you can see the quotes backing up a number and can be sure a project is bid properly.
Going with the least expensive contractor – especially if the contractor is not within 5 – 10% of the other contractors. When one contractors quote is significantly lower than the rest, the reason is often that a scope of work has been left out or the contractor is in financial difficulty and trying to cash flow one project for another. “Robbing Peter to pay Paul.”
Too many allowances or allowances not backed up by quotes. Which can lead to additional unintended costs.
Offer to pay your builder for their bids. Bidding cost the contractor and their vendors time and money. Make sure that if the contractor is selected, their cost to bid is credited to the cost of the project.
Don’t ask a contractor for a discount if you pay upfront – Contractors should be paid monthly based on the percent complete of the mutually agreed to schedule of values.
Hiring contractors or subcontractors who are illegal or don’t have the necessary insurance to perform their scope.
