Pre-construction and construction services
Before anyone builds, we cover due diligence, conceptual estimating, value engineering, constructability review, a development schedule, bidding, subcontractor qualification and permitting. On every job we manage the budget, the schedule, the subcontractors, risk, quality control and safety, with regular progress meetings and project reports, and we close out with the punch list finished and the close-out documents in hand.

What types of commercial construction projects do you handle?
Restaurant build-outs and freestanding restaurants, tenant finish-outs for restaurant, retail, office and medical tenants, dental and medical offices and surgery centers, convenience stores, retail stores, pet-care facilities, and remodels of businesses that are already open. Fort Worth, Dallas–Fort Worth and Texas, with licenses in other states for rollouts.
Do you work on new restaurant locations and remodels?
Yes. New locations as finish-outs or freestanding buildings, conversions of second-generation restaurant space, and remodels of open restaurants, phased around operating hours where the project allows.
Can you help during pre-construction planning?
Yes. Due diligence, conceptual estimating, value engineering, constructability review, a development schedule, bidding, subcontractor qualification and permitting are our pre-construction services.
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.
