OFFICE, MIXED USE, RETAIL:

Harper’s commercial construction team works on traditional office, retail, and mixed-use projects, from new construction to adaptive reuse and renovation. Our experience includes working with facilities on the National Register for Historic Places, protecting surrounding historic landscapes, appropriately updating building systems, accommodating life safety needs, and providing accessibility for historic buildings.

CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGY

LEVERAGING THE RIGHT TOOLS TO ENHANCE EFFICIENCY AND QUALITY

BIM (Building Information Modeling) is an intelligent 3D model-based process that gives architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) professionals the insight and tools to more efficiently plan, design, construct, and manage buildings and infrastructure before ever turning over a shovel of dirt.

Harper has an in-house Virtual Building team that uses BIM to build a project virtually, in order to eliminate any costly errors ahead of time — streamlining the schedule and saving you from any potential delays or rework costs.

LASER SCANNING: For renovations and project additions, our Harper team leverages our robotic total station to scan the existing buildings and create the most accurate as-built drawings possible. The newly created as-builts can be shared with the design team to efficiently further their design efforts. The project team will also leverage the as-built model as the design matures and will conform to actual field conditions.

MATERIALS & OPTIONS ANALYSIS/VALUE ENGINEERING:

During the preconstruction process we will use Beck 3D estimating to efficiently develop accurate take-off of the building design. When using 3D Design Models in OAC & design meetings, we evaluate “on-thefly” design decisions to see the immediate impacts to the project budget.

VIRTUAL & AUGMENTED REALITY: Harper offers the latest in Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality by allowing our design team and client to virtually tour the proposed facilities and offer actionable feedback before construction commences.

BRIDGEWAY STATION

MAULDIN, SC | DESIGN-BUILD

Bridgeway Station is a unique development that will bring a new mixed-use downtown to Mauldin, SC. The first phase includes five separate buildings providing the Greenville County community with over 400,000 SF of new residential, retail, and office space. This Design-Build project incorporated historic materials into the façade to give the development a unique, old-world Italian feel. Many of the retail spaces house popular local restaurant destinations. Bridgeway Station will ultimately connect with the Swamp Rabbit Trail, a 22-mile multi-use trail that connects towns, businesses, housing, parks, and retail spaces throughout Greenville County. Future adjacent land is available for an additional 11 city blocks of growth at Bridgeway Station.

The flagship award-winning building at Bridgeway Station is a six-story, mixed-use building with over 37,000 SF of retail space on the first floor and 163 apartment units above for a total of 209,108 SF. Load-bearing Tilt-Up wall panels served as the substrate for the historic façade materials to be applied over. This project was the first six-story tilt-up construction project in South Carolina and was awarded a 2023 TCA Tilt-Up National Achievement Award.
