Preconstruction
Our preconstruction services optimize project outcomes through detailed budget estimating, constructability reviews, and value analysis. We employ Building Information Modeling to identify potential issues before construction begins, helping clients make informed decisions about materials and systems. With one-third of Arkansas' Certified Professional Estimators on staff, we deliver precise cost projections and realistic scheduling that consistently reduce change orders and project costs while maintaining quality standards.
Construction
We manage full-scale construction projects using a combination of self-performed work and prequalified subcontractors. Our approach emphasizes quality control, safety compliance, and schedule adherence through continuous monitoring and coordination. Each project benefits from dedicated superintendents and principal-level oversight, ensuring efficient execution from groundbreaking to occupancy while maintaining our reputation for delivering complex projects on time and within budget.
Self Perform
Our self-performance capabilities cover critical construction phases including concrete work, steel erection, and underground utilities. This direct control ensures superior quality and schedule reliability while reducing subcontractor dependencies. We maintain specialized equipment and skilled tradespeople to execute these tasks efficiently, applying our own high standards to foundational work that sets the quality benchmark for entire projects across Arkansas and the Mid-South region.
Design-Build
Our design-build methodology streamlines construction through single-source responsibility, combining design and construction expertise under one contract. This approach enables faster project delivery through overlapping design and construction phases while maintaining cost control. We coordinate directly with architects and engineers to optimize constructability, ensuring efficient designs that minimize changes and delays while delivering comprehensive solutions from concept through occupancy.
Construction Management
We provide comprehensive construction management services covering all project phases from design feasibility to final closeout. Our team coordinates contractor selection, manages budgets and schedules, and maintains quality control throughout the process. We act as the owner's advocate, ensuring transparent communication between all parties while maintaining rigorous safety standards and risk management protocols for public and private sector clients.
