Open communication
We are committed to keeping you informed throughout every stage of the development of your project. Open communication has been one of the keys to our success and we take the time to listen to our client’s needs and wishes. We strive to be completely upfront with budgets, schedules, and potential obstacles.
Keeping you in the know
Harrison Construction holds regular progress meetings and provides project reports to keep the owner involved from the start of a project through its completion.
A team of professionals
Our attention to detail and diligence sets us apart from our competitors. We assemble a team of professionals who deliver the highest quality work and are best suited for accomplishing the specific tasks of the project.
Predictability is the product.
An owner opening a restaurant, a practice or a store needs the date, the budget and the quality to hold. The process above is how we make that likely.
Decisions on time
Construction meetings and reports show which decisions are due and when, so finishes, equipment and signage never hold up the trades.
Changes priced before they are built
A change order is priced and approved first. Scope added mid-project is where budgets move; a clear process keeps it visible.
Close-out as part of the job
As-built information, warranties, manuals, final inspections and the punch list are gathered as the work finishes, not after.
How early should a contractor be involved?
Before the lease is signed if you can, and before the drawings are final. That is when a site visit and a conceptual estimate change the most: what the landlord delivers, what the space will cost to finish out and how long the permits will take.
How do you coordinate subcontractors and project schedules?
A development schedule set in pre-construction, qualified subcontractors bid for each trade, regular construction meetings on site and electronic progress reports to the owner. Regular progress meetings keep every project staffed and on schedule.
What information should I prepare before requesting a proposal?
The lease or letter of intent with the delivery condition, any drawings or the brand’s prototype set, an equipment list if you have one, the address, and the date you need to open. If you do not have all of it, call anyway: the first conversation is about what you have.
Do you work outside the Dallas–Fort Worth area?
Yes. Our service area is Fort Worth, Dallas–Fort Worth and Texas, and we are licensed in other states for brands rolling out several locations.
What happens during project closeout?
Attention to the final details, the punch list finalized, the correct close-out documents gathered, and the project finished on time and within budget as the goal.
Let’s build what’s next.
Planning a new location, build-out, renovation or commercial development? Tell us about your project and we’ll help identify the next step.
What to send us
The address, the lease or letter of intent, any drawings or the brand’s prototype set, and the date you need to open. Not all of it is needed to start the conversation.
