Services

From first budget to final punch

Four disciplines, one standard: price it straight, schedule it honestly, build it once. Most clients use two or three of these on a single project — preconstruction rolls into the build, and the build ends with a closeout book worth keeping.

01 / Service

Preconstruction

The cheapest place to fix a building is on paper. We front-load the hard conversations so the field stays boring — in the best way.

  • Conceptual and hard-bid estimating from live subcontractor pricing
  • Constructability and drawing review with written RFI log
  • Value engineering that protects design intent
  • Permitting strategy and jurisdiction coordination
  • Baseline schedule with named long-lead procurement

Ground-Up Commercial

Small commercial buildings are our center of gravity — the shells, pads, and freestanding buildings that keep Texas commerce running.

  • Site work, utilities, and pad coordination
  • Shell and core through certificate of occupancy
  • Retail, restaurant, office, flex, and medical product types
  • Owner-vendor coordination (signage, FF&E, security, IT)
  • Closeout package: warranties, as-builts, O&M manuals

Renovation & Adaptive Reuse

Existing buildings fight back. Occupied floors, undocumented structure, forty-year-old surprises behind the drywall — this is the work that separates builders from bidders.

  • Occupied-space phasing and after-hours logistics
  • Selective demolition with structural investigation
  • Code, accessibility, and energy upgrades
  • Historic and character-building sensitivity
  • Tenant and neighbor communication plans

Tenant Interiors

A finish-out runs on a lease clock. We build TI schedules backwards from commencement dates and defend them like they're ours — because contractually, they are.

  • White box and full-scope tenant finish-out
  • Landlord coordination and building-rules compliance
  • Restaurant, medical, office, and retail interiors
  • Long-lead equipment procurement (kitchen, medical, AV)
  • Punch and turnover aligned to your move-in, not ours
