Line One
General Contracting
General contracting is the spine of the firm. We take the prime contract, hold the schedule, run the site and carry the risk of coordination between trades. That means permitting support, subcontractor procurement, safety planning, daily supervision, progress reporting, cost tracking and a documented closeout. The owner gets one phone number and one weekly report instead of a list of vendors who each believe the delay belongs to someone else.
Our contracting model is open book on cost. Labor, material, equipment and subcontract values are shown with the markup stated plainly, so the owner can see where the money goes. We keep a contingency line that is reported every month and returned or spent with written approval. Change orders are issued only after a written request, a price and a schedule impact, and nothing is built on a verbal instruction.
On the site, our superintendent sets the day. Morning coordination covers access, deliveries and inspections. Mid day checks cover quality and alignment. End of day covers cleanup, lock up and a short written note to the owner. The site stays safe, orderly and legible from the first day to the last, because a clean site is also a cheap site.
Line Two
Design Build Coordination
Design build coordination is where the drawing gets tested before it becomes expensive. We translate an owner brief into a buildable set, then coordinate structure, envelope, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire and data into one coherent package. The goal is not to replace the architect. The goal is to make sure that the architect drawings, the structural calculations and the equipment cut sheets all describe the same room.
This line suits projects where the owner wants a single desk accountable for both design intent and construction means. It also suits computer integrated systems work, where a server rack, a cooling unit, a floor penetration and a power feed have to be placed with the same precision as a structural beam. We produce coordination drawings, clash notes and a written sequence of installation, and we hold design review meetings that end with a decision list rather than a vague promise to look into it.
Coordination time is priced by the week and shown as its own line in the proposal. Owners often ask why it is not hidden in overhead. The answer is simple: visible coordination gets done, and hidden coordination gets cut first when the schedule tightens.
Line Three
Tenant Improvements
Tenant improvements are interior build outs inside leased space. The work usually begins with a demolition plan and a landlord work letter, then moves through partitions, ceilings, lighting, casework, storefront and finishes. Our job is to fit the owner program inside the leased envelope without surprising the landlord, the building engineer or the fire marshal.
We read the lease documents carefully. Building hours, freight elevator reservations, noise limits, insurance certificates, dumpster rules and after hours approval all go into the site plan before the crew arrives. When the building requires work at night, we schedule the loud trades for the approved window and keep the noisy equipment off the floor during business hours.
Typical tenant scopes include demising partitions, a break room build, a receiving counter, a small server room, accessible restroom upgrades, finish replacement and lighting layout changes. We also handle the certificate of occupancy walk, the final life safety inspection and the punch list that follows. For owners moving into a suite, the practical result is a space that is ready on the date the lease says it is ready.
Line Four
Concrete and Flatwork
Concrete work covers footings, slabs on grade, interior topping, equipment pads, sidewalks, aprons, curbs and small retaining elements. We treat the subgrade as part of the product. Before any pour, the base is proof rolled, checked for elevation and compacted in lifts that match the specified density. Reinforcement is set on chairs, inspected and photographed before the mix arrives.
Mix design, slump, air content, placement sequence and curing method are chosen for the actual use of the surface, not copied from a previous job. A loading dock apron sees different loads than an office floor, and interior topping behaves differently than an exterior slab in a Utah winter. We order test cylinders where the spec calls for them and keep the break results with the project record.
Finish work is where flatwork earns its reputation. We control screed, float, trowel and joint timing so the surface stays flat and the joints stay where they belong. Saw cuts are placed early enough to matter. Edge forms are stripped clean and the transitions to existing surfaces are checked with a straightedge. When the concrete is right, everything that follows sits easier on top of it.
Line Five
Framing and Drywall
Framing and drywall covers metal stud partitions, shaft walls, soffits, bulkheads, ceilings and the board systems that close them. Layout starts from the control line, not from a corner that looks close enough. Walls are laid out against the drawing, checked for square, braced until the ceiling grid is in and confirmed plumb before board is hung.
Blocking is the quiet test of a framing crew. Cabinets, grab bars, monitors, heavy doors, wall mounted equipment and future signage all need something solid behind the board, and that something has to be there before the wall is closed. Our framing sheets list every blocking location, and the superintendent signs off with photographs before the board goes up.
Finishing is matched to the level the project requires. Level four is fine for a service corridor. A wall that carries a window, a light wash or a high gloss finish needs a higher level, with wider joints, more coats and a careful sand. We inspect with a raking light because that is how the owner will see it. Texture, corner bead, control joints and fire rated assemblies are all part of the same scope and the same check.
Line Six
Remodel and Addition Builds
Remodel and addition work begins with the existing building, and the existing building is rarely as drawn. We survey first: structural framing, foundation, roof geometry, insulation, wiring, plumbing and the actual dimensions of every opening. The survey becomes the basis for the design, the price and the schedule, and the owner sees it before demolition begins.
Occupied remodels require a different discipline. Dust barriers, negative air, protected paths, temporary kitchens or restrooms and a phased sequence keep the household or business running. We plan the sequence so that the water and power stay on as long as possible and the noisy work happens in planned blocks instead of all day.
Additions bring structural questions. New openings need headers and posts sized by an engineer, foundations need to meet the existing footings honestly, and the roof tie in needs a detail that sheds water rather than collecting it. We coordinate the engineer, the inspector and the trades around a single drawing set, then build the shell, the envelope and the interior in a sequence that keeps the existing building weather tight throughout.
