Ground Up and Shell Construction
Ground up and shell construction requires significant planning prior to breaking ground. Our staff works with the design professional and our subcontractors to make sure questions are answered and details are complete. From developing to 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.
