Self-perform

In-house experts

Our people have expertise in many trades that we can perform instead of or alongside contracted labor. When we do, it gives us greater control over time and money spent.

Benefits of
self-perform

Speed

When we staff from our dependable force of builders, we eliminate the time it takes to vet, select, and onboard trade contractors and we ensure you have a team that’s all hands on deck from day one. It also means we're not dependent on third-party contractors having the people and processes to deliver on time. Even when we’re not selected to self-perform, we have the expertise to pick up the slack and get the project back on track if a trade contractor falls behind.

Pricing

We know firsthand what it takes to do the job, and that experience helps us build a more precise budget during preconstruction. The depth of our know-how in specific trades also means you get a partner that can recommend best value suggestions others can’t.

Quality

Our workforce has performed these scopes time after time with the backing of a company dedicated to personal and professional growth. They aim to exceed expectations, and we give them the skills to help them deliver. And even when we don’t perform the work ourselves, working hand in hand with our trade contractors fosters a culture of continuous improvement that you only stand to benefit from.

Safety

Our people share our company’s unwavering commitment to safety. Whether we’re performing the work ourselves or being another set of eyes to an outside trade contractor, we’re well-equipped to watch for and correct risky behaviors.

why us

Your trusted parnter

We truly understand the stakes involved in bringing a building to life. Others may offer self-perform services as part of a package—often without directly providing the workforce or equipment—but we’re hands-on builders who provide the resources and experience to back our work. That’s important not only for timelines and budgets but also because we add quality and accountability.

Accelerating a new addition to Atlanta’s skyline

Our self-perform manpower paid off on this multifamily project with two towers—one 37 stories tall and the other 34 stories tall—on a 1.5-acre tight site in Midtown Atlanta. With a projected total of roughly 54,000 cubic yards of concrete, the development represents one of the larger concrete packages we’ve done to date.
