What We Do

SPEED 2 MARKET! DESIGN-BUILD CONSTRUCTION PROCESS

We are Client Driven!

• Commitment to quality from the Pre-Construction/Design phase stems from our founders’ belief that an integrated approach to design and construction is the best way to ensure a successful project for our clients.
• From our architects, engineers, project managers, estimators, schedulers, and procurement professionals along with our AE Partners, our entire goal is to create REVENUE$ for clients through value engineering, efficient design, and the best construction quality in our industry.
• We are a Unique Group of Design and Construction Professionals that have come together with the Vision of “Building Great Projects for a Better Future”.

What exactly do we mean by SPEED 2 MARKET! ?

• SPEED 2 MARKET! is the reduced time, it takes from your Project conception to availability to produce REVENUE$. It allows us to measure how much additional REVENUE$, you can generate from your Project with our unique process.
• One way to explain the importance of SPEED 2 MARKET! for your business is by defining how it can reduce your Revenue without our unique process. Nowadays, teams and organizations misuse 40% or more of their resources. This waste is essentially due to poor planning & scheduling, pointless overhead, repetitive work, unneeded features, bad project launch, and poor information management. And, this reduces your ability to generate REVENUE.
• We will make sure to launch your project in the right place and at the right time to maximize REVENUE$.
• The better control we have over your project’s development processes, the better we will be able to predict your SPEED 2 MARKET! and additional generated REVENUE$.
• From start to finish, we partner with our Clients to help guide them through the “SPEED 2 MARKET!” Design-Build Construction Process.
• Offering the best value for your investment. Meeting the owner’s goals with the best pre-construction database and experience in the industry.
• Successfully completing every project with a systematic series of operations known as our “Core Processes,” keeping each step of the process ordered.
• Getting owners all operational materials – the “Closeout Documents” – 30 days before occupancy is our CLOSEOUT EXCELLENCE.
