Corporate offices, retail and hospitality — including high‑end interior buildouts inside occupied, operating buildings.
You can bring us in to represent your interests, to run the program, to price and de‑risk a design before it is finished, to take the whole thing design‑build, to stabilise a structure that has moved, or simply to tell you what is actually going on.
The most effective place to shape a project is on paper, and the right time is before anyone breaks ground. We run feasibility assessments, budgets, constructability review and schedule development before the design is locked, and we design to your budget rather than discovering it later — so the number you approve is the number you build to.
The pre‑construction meeting is where the money is actually made. Decades of building gives us a working knowledge of what a detail costs to execute and what the alternatives are, and it lets us sit between the architect and the owner and build one shared understanding of the project instead of two competing ones. Out of that comes real value engineering — substitutions, methods and sequencing decided together, before anything is committed — and on a project of any size that has meant considerable savings for the client without giving up the design.
Day‑to‑day control of the build: trade procurement, sequencing, cost and schedule reporting, quality and safety on site. For multi‑site or phased programs we manage the whole portfolio rather than one job at a time.
One contract, one accountable party, design and construction moving together. It is the fastest route to an opening date, and it only works when the builder is in the room during design. We are.
We sit on your side of the table. Reviewing bids, holding the design and construction teams to the contract, verifying pay applications, and telling you plainly when a schedule is not going to hold.
Specialist work that most general contractors subcontract and few understand: helical piles, push‑pin piles, underpinning and structural stabilisation for buildings that have moved, settled or were built on ground that will not hold what is going on top of it. It is the same discipline as the marine piling on our waterfront projects, applied under an existing structure rather than beside one.
Targeted help on the means and methods questions: recovering a slipped schedule, second‑opinion estimates, assessing a troubled project, or working out whether a difficult build is worth taking on at all.
Corporate offices, retail and hospitality — including high‑end interior buildouts inside occupied, operating buildings.
Ground‑up complexes and campuses, tilt‑up concrete structures, and large‑acreage site development.
Private residences and residential development, domestically and abroad, at the finish level our commercial clients expect.
Most clients are not, at the start. Describe the project and we will tell you the shortest route to getting it built.
