&build is a construction management firm that focuses on the best interests of the project. That means together we’ll make decisions that put the project first. The individual interests of the Owner, Architect and Construction Manager are blended together for the best outcome.
&build is a Construction Management/General Contracting Firm providing end-to-end commercial building services to forward-thinking clients interested in turning their visions into reality. We partner with a wide range of clientele and provide a conduit between the Owner’s vision and the Architect’s intent in order to bring these ideas to life, on budget.
We are well-versed in every delivery method, including Design/Bid/Build, Construction Management at Risk (CM@R), General Contracting and Design/Build. We build your building while fostering great relationships between all involved parties.

No two projects are the same, which is why &build offers an array of flexible services to construction projects and programs throughout the planning, design, construction and post construction phases. Tailored solutions allow us to serve our clients and projects well, achieving project objectives including the management of quality, cost, time and scope. Our team of Construction Managers acts as an extension of staff to the Owner and manages the entire project with pre-planning, design, construction, engineering and management expertise that can assure your best possible project outcome, no matter what type of delivery method used. Few Owners maintain the staff resources necessary to pay close attention to every detail. You can expect &build to act as an extension of your staff, continually paying attention to every detail that can “make or break” your project from design through construction and closeout.
We have been engaged in CMr and GC delivery models on our private projects for years. Sound Construction Management techniques in the delivery should make you feel confident that you are getting the best value for the services we are providing for the project we are constructing.
We deliver our budget estimating using internal staff, encompassing both A/C/S and M/E/P/T Estimators. Our full-time estimating staff understands the bid markets and assures that the Project Team (Owner, A/E, and CM) has accurate and timely estimates throughout the design phase.
&builds’ basic construction project management philosophy can simply be stated in three words: communication, collaboration and cooperation. This philosophy translates into our ability to plan, organize and control the numerous facets of each and every project effectively.
Our strongest quality lies within the passion and personal ownership that each of our employees possess when performing their individual jobs. What sets us apart is that we individually care as much about the success of your project as you do.

Programming
We define the type, size, location and end-user requirements for the project. We conceive the Owner’s mission with multiple options.
Based on Owner approval of the preferred conceptual design, we parepare the schematic drawings. The schematic design will include alternate options to help establish project scope.
Your building components are coming together, we know what all your pieces and parts are, your drawing is refined. We get you to 75-85% complete.
We provide input on benefits and limitations of the conceptual design
We estimate the multiple options that The Architect suggests. The team collaboratively decides the viable solution for the project.
You now have a 75%-100% complete, “permitable” set of drawings.
At this point we have a 10,000’ view of the project - we know what the build is, we know the site, the size and intended use. We apply costs to the Architect’s vision.
We estimate again and provide value engineering ideas to keep the project on track.
We use the 75%-100% complete set of drawings to determine your Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP).

Our 75%-100% drawings will be used to competitively bid the construction. We also provide addenda and clarifications during the
