BUILDING SO MUCH MORE.

THEY ARE OUR FUTURE. SO, LET’S GIVE THEM THE WORLD. Beyond the brick and mortar, concrete, and steel— buildings are just the beginning.

Our heroes are hard at work educating, encouraging, and molding our future. We proudly guide school superintendents and school board members through successful projects. We are honored to build strong schools that will inspire generations of learners and leaders. And, in over 40 years, we’ve never missed a first day of school opening.

OVER 10 MILLION SF OF EDUCATIONAL SPACE

The fundamental role of schools is to give students a place to learn and provide them with the tools they need to succeed. There are higher demands for updating aging buildings, incorporating student safety, and addressing the ever-changing needs of device-driven learning environments.

These days, schools have to get creative to keep up with these demands. As your Construction Manager, we protect the vision that you and the design team have. You’ll get the most for your construction dollar because our team will provide cost-effective ideas and solutions throughout the design phase. During construction, we’ll continue working hard to ensure your vision comes to life - safely and on time.

CHALLENGES + SOLUTIONS

Delaware Elementary School in Springfield is an excellent example of the community projects Crossland takes pride in building. The first of its kind for Springfield Public Schools, our team demolished the old Delaware Elementary and constructed a new 68,000 SF, five-acre school. The larger school accommodates 350 students who can now receive their education in a modern and safe space.

The school’s precast gym features a stage with retracting projector screen, automatic bleachers, and drop-down basketball goals.

In the event of stormy weather, it also serves as a large student and community storm shelter. H Design Group ensured Delaware Elementary students can learn without concerns for physical limitations in their environment. The entire building is on one level, with no stairs and easy access to all areas, including entry to the playground. The hallways, doorways, and restrooms are spacious for students who utilize wheelchairs.

Despite having over 35 recordable weather days and the COVID pandemic, we maintained the schedule. Teamwork, determination, and our ability to self-perform the structural steel and precast concrete made the finish date achievable. We communicated effectively with the owner and the design team to overcome any challenges. The school superintendent was extremely supportive. Our team completed this vital community project in time for the school to open as planned.

A SUCCESSFUL PROJECT “[Crossland] are the guys that you know can bring it home. they will meet their timelines, they will keep you in budget.... it is 2020 and thank God we had Crossland on our team, because we knew they finish the project on time and under budget.”

How our capabilities add value to your project We’re known for a hands-on, boots-on-the-ground approach, and we take pride in not only managing projects but also putting work in place. Our self-perform capabilities keep us competitive and allow us to deliver quality projects, on time, and in budget. Utilizing self-perform teams is not right for every project, however our knowledge and field experience undoubtedly adds value.

2 SETS QUALITY and safety STANDARDS

There are a lot of moving parts on a construction site. Having a builder who knows how to put the work in place goes a long way. We will make sure that everyone who steps foot on your project meets our quality and safety standards. Easily put, we know how to do it ourselves, and we know how to do it right - we will settle for nothing less.

3 OVERCOMES CHALLENGES

We work with design firms upfront to help identify and avoid potential obstacles before construction even begins. However, undoubtedly there will be hurdles. Having a builder’s perspective when those challenges arise is important. Our team is known for making the impossible, possible. If there is a challenge - rest assured - we will tackle it!

At Crossland, we are passionate about simplifying the construction process by being solutions-oriented and tackling challenges before they become problems. We take a partnership approach from the beginning of each project to protect the intent and vision of our clients and the design team while offering the most cost-efficient construction options.

As the Springfield Division leader, I lead a team of construction experts. They create effective project schedules and budgets, control costs, drive project schedules, and ensure high-quality work is put in place.

When you choose Crossland, you get access to the resources of one of the largest contractors in the nation. You also get the personalized local service typically affiliated with a much smaller company.

LETS TALK Lance Garrett Vice President, Springfield Division c. 417-291-2800 lgarrett@crossland.com

When a client selects us, we immediately dive into the details of your project. We prefer to be a part of all construction-related meetings.

This helps us advocate on your behalf and make sure you get the best facility for your budget. We offer constructability advice and accurate budgeting throughout the project while ensuring your design vision comes to life. The same team you work with in preconstruction will transition to the project’s construction phase, so we never lose momentum or knowledge.

We appreciate this opportunity and look forward to learning more about your district and project goals.
