Owners on record
4.9 average from 60+ owner reviews (sample)
They gave us a fixed number in week four and never moved it. We opened the clinic nine days early.
Priya N. Practice owner, Spokane Valley
Sample review
Our warehouse kept shipping the whole time they built the office wing next door. The superintendent texted photos every Friday.
Grant W. Operations manager, Post Falls
Sample review
One contract and one person to call. After two bids that fell apart elsewhere, that alone was worth it.

Four services
From a 3,000 sq ft dental suite to a 60,000 sq ft flex building, with one team from the first sketch.

Design-build
We design, engineer, permit and build under one agreement, with a guaranteed maximum price set before construction drawings.
5,000-60,000 sq ft · GMP contract

Ground-up commercial
Steel, tilt-up and wood-frame buildings on raw or infill lots, from site work to the final occupancy inspection.
Typical build: 7-12 months

Tenant improvements
Offices, clinics and retail interiors. Night and weekend shifts when the neighbors keep trading.
Typical: 6-14 weeks

Preconstruction
Site feasibility, zoning checks, budgets and value engineering before you buy the lot or sign the lease.
Flat fee, credited if we build it
Four stages, one schedule. You see the budget at every one of them.
Step 1 · 2-4 weeks
A site walk, a zoning check and a budget your lender can underwrite.
Step 2 · 3-5 months
Our architect and engineers draw it while estimators price it, so the design never outgrows the budget.
Step 3 · per schedule
Our own superintendent on site every day, open-book costs and a photo report every Friday.
Step 4 · keys
Punch list done before keys, manuals in one binder, and a 2-year warranty with a direct line.

About the project
A family practice outgrew two leased suites. We found the lot, priced it before they bought it, and designed a two-storey clinic around their patient flow: 24 exam rooms, imaging and a drive-up lab.

Sample project. On your site this is one of your own jobs, with the numbers you can stand behind.
