Ground Up and Shell Construction

Ground up and shell construction requires significant planning prior to breaking ground. Our staff works with design professionals and our subcontractors to make sure questions are answered and details are confirmed as we prepare a bid or proposal. From developing site and building pads to pouring foundation, our experienced on-site staff has extensive knowledge of self-performing concrete work; therefore, our team ensures the proper controls are in place. Our team focuses on material lead times and scheduling the appropriate inspections, so the work is not delayed. Our subcontractor partners work closely with our team to ensure the project is built according to the design and with the highest quality.

Interior Finish Out and Renovation Construction

In today’s construction market, material lead times play a vital role in project timelines. Our staff, from the beginning, identifies those materials and equipment that needs to be ordered early to meet the project schedule. Whether it’s tenant finish out or full-scale renovations to an operating business, our team evaluates existing conditions, coordinates with owners, landlords, property managers and more to prevent ongoing operations from being impacted. Our devotion to quality ensures at the conclusion of the project you are proud to welcome your employees, clients and guests to your new home.

Our Construction Management Process Includes

Safety
Prioritization

Kopplow’s Experience Modifier is one of the lowest in the industry since our highest priority is facilitating a safe environment for all stakeholders. Subcontractor safety programs are reviewed for compliance, and regular meetings are held with employees and subcontractors so that safety is top of mind.

Pricing &
Budgeting

In early design phases, relevant historical costs and current subcontractor input is considered help owners and design professionals make educated decisions with a realistic budget. Once designs are complete, we solicit bids from extensive and properly vetted subcontractor lists to ensure a competitively priced final contract amount or GMP.

Quality Control &
Inspections

In addition to internal daily inspection and observations, our superintendent, project managers and field operations officer participate in weekly meetings with owners, design professionals and subcontractors for walkthrough inspections. These inspections help identify potential issues or deficiencies and corrective action is made to ensure project timeline and quality.

Scheduling
Projects

Scheduling in early design is based on similar projects and refined throughout the design phase. During construction, our team updates the schedule with input from subcontractors, weather and material deliveries. Areas can be identified for more acceleration if necessary, and updated schedules are presented at each project meeting for review.

Project
Close Out

A punch list is developed in coordination with the owner and design professionals to limit deficiencies and promote quality control. The project manager provides the Owner electronic closeout documents including as-built plans, warranties, certificates and operating manuals. We maintain close contact with the Owner during the warranty period to ensure the building and associated systems are functioning properly.
