How We Price

1. The principals have engineering, land planning, architectural, and commercial real estate backgrounds. They use these talents to develop cost effective construction solutions that have strong market appeal.
2. Our site designs are superior in function and efficiency – not over paved or under paved with efficient ingress and egress – we then balance the grades to minimize cut & fill.

3. Structural Design

We are not biased towards any of the three predominant structural approaches ( Pre-engineered steel, load bearing wall, or stick frame). We work closely with architects and structural engineers to determine the most cost effective design for your building.

4. Design Team

We do not have engineering or architecture in house for 3 reasons:

#1 - Different engineers and architects have strengths and weaknesses specific to certain projects.
#2 - We hire these people on a competitive bid basis.
#3 - It keeps our overhead low, saving you money.

5. Design Control

Through experience, we control the design process so that inefficiencies are not introduced into either your building or site. For example – Why price a specific span for the glass line that doubles the cost of the steel package?

6. Competitive Bidding

We don’t play favorites. We keep an open door to qualified subcontractors which allows us to price with more subcontractors per category than our competition.

7. Our Categories are Open to Bid Longer

The longer the bidding process is open, the better price you get. We leave this window open as long as possible to get you the best price.

8. We Are An Open Book

All of our bidding and all of our work is open book. It’s your money so you can see all of the financial information.

9. We Charge You What We Charge Ourselves

We run an open book true 9% markup construction company. We charge you exactly what we charge ourselves when we develop multi-tenant buildings.
