CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT
In the Construction Management delivery system, whether at-risk or agency, W. M.

DESIGN/BUILD
When time is of the essence, W. M. Jordan Company can meet your needs with complete Design Build Services.

REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT
The W. M. Jordan Real Estate Development team consists of highly skilled professionals that will help navigate the complexities of real estate development, while adding value to each phase of the project. Involving a knowledgeable developer from the conception of your project allows the team to make crucial suggestions that can reduce cost and risk, while maximizing the value. Our team of in-house experts takes pride in guiding clients through a smooth process, often beginning with property acquisition and ending with a completed structure you are proud of.
While each contract is unique, our team is experienced enough to help solve any challenge, assisting our clients with entitlements, rezoning, and approval processes to ensure the success of your project.
VIRTUAL CONSTRUCTION
Due to advancements in technology, the buildings of today are increasingly complex, yet the demand for a timely, high quality, cost effective delivery has not changed. In order to match quality with efficiency in construction, technology has to play a part. Our Virtual Construction team uses Building Information Modeling as a tool to build, analyze, and resolve construction issues in a digital environment prior to actual construction. This allows for flexible information exchange and promotes better communication with your project team.
As our industry continues to implement the use of Virtual Design and Construction (VDC), Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) and Building Information Modeling (BIM), W.M. Jordan is committed to educating our subcontractor, designer, and owner communities about best practices for these technologies. We help our customers achieve their goals by incorporating the use of this technology early in a project’s development. To help facilitate the process and achieve the best result, we use a collaborative five step approach.
