From an idea on paper through the sale of an asset, we simplify the complexity of the process. The best construction project is a product of consistent collaboration. Our partnerships start early on, sometimes even when the land is still pending. Construction starts far before you ever put a shovel in the ground. That’s why we believe in standing by you from the beginning.
Preconstruction & Estimating
The preconstruction phase is a critical component of the construction process as it sets the foundation for the project’s success. With Drake Tappe’s support, the project team works to identify and mitigate potential issues before construction begins, resulting in a smoother construction process and reducing the likelihood of costly change orders or delays. Strategic preconstruction and estimating is the most important phase for staying on budget and on schedule.
Lean Construction
We use the Last Planner® system and Lean Construction as effective tools as they prioritize collaboration, communication, and continuous improvement throughout the project lifecycle. These principles reduce waste, improve efficiency, minimize delays, ensure safety, and ultimately lead to better project outcomes and higher returns on investment.
Value Engineering
Our team is committed to helping our clients simplify, improve their bottom line, and maximize their returns. We take a strategic and collaborative approach to value engineering that involves identifying the most critical components of a project, exploring alternative design options, and ultimately delivering a superior product that meets the client’s goals and objectives. Whether it’s reducing construction costs, improving project efficiency, or enhancing sustainability, we can help.
Post-Construction
We are committed to ensuring client satisfaction from groundbreaking to ribbon-cutting and beyond. For us, project completion is not the end but rather the beginning of a long-term relationship with our clients. We strive to facilitate a seamless transition from project completion to building occupancy and continue to grow our clients’ portfolios throughout Texas and beyond.
