reliability is not just important, it is imperative.

Completing a job on time, under budget, and with the highest

quality, is an achievement that requires the best in the business.

Since 1965, Harkins Builders has built its reputation by delivering

quality construction projects on time and under budget. From concept

to completion, our strength lies in our ability to successfully identify,

assemble, and manage the best subcontractors, suppliers, and other

components of a project to meet the most complex challenges and achieve

your most demanding goals.

By coupling our preconstruction expertise with the most competent and

cost-effective construction management services, we offer innovative

solutions to any challenge. Whatever your construction or design-build

needs, Harkins can deliver, from new construction to renovation, from

multifamily to commercial, from lowrise to highrise. From concept to

completion, the Harkins Method works.

CONSISTENT QUALITY

IS NO ACCIDENT

Harkins masters its commitment to delivering quality projects on time and under budget through three key principles:

SUPERIOR PLANNING ACCURATE PRECONSTRUCTION ESTIMATES CLOSE MONITORING OF EACH STEP IN THE

CONSTRUCTION PROCESS

We call it THE HARKINS METHOD. The Harkins Method successfully combines preconstruction expertise and onsite professional management to provide construction solutions for our clients.

Clients in need of solid, long-term projections have come to rely upon our ability to make preliminary cost estimates come true. We are skilled at maximizing quality for the least cost through the competitive bidding of a highly qualifi ed group of subcontractors and suppliers. Close communication between our estimating and construction personnel, detailed cost tracking of all building components, coor-dination of the plans and specifi cations, and the early involvement of our people in project design enable us to give clients information vital to mak-ing educated decisions.

RELIABILITY AND RESPONSIVENESS ARE HARKINS HALLMARKS

When you work with Harkins, you know exactly what to expect. From the start, we work diligently to defi ne every component of your project, and work with your team to deliver a buildable set of documents. It may seem simple, but it sets Harkins apart in the industry. Responsibility for a design that conforms to your needs, accountability for our actions, a streamlined approach to communica-tion, and an up-front cost and schedule you can depend on – these are the hallmarks of the way we do business.

“An outstanding team effort that provided our client with a quality project within budget. Constant communication and feedback between client, design, and construction was critical and worked to everyone’s benefi t.”

Our successful approach eliminates risks, builds trust between client and contractor, and saves precious time and money over conventional procurement methods.

PRECONSTRUCTION BUDGETS

ELIMINATE GUESSWORK

When Harkins becomes part of a project, the fi rst step is to prepare a dependable budget based on our comprehensive database of current pricing information, computerized cost histories of similar projects, and the client’s preliminary conceptual design.

Throughout the design phase, our preconstruction services – from estimating and design analysis to scheduling and fi nancial analysis – are based on real construction costs and our considerable construc-tion experience. It’s a powerful combination we offer at no cost which makes for true reliability.

VALUE ANALYSIS HONED TO PERFECTION

Thanks to our continual monitoring of actual con-struction costs, we can recommend the products, materials, construction systems, and design details that provide the most cost-effective results. It’s a technique we call value analysis, and it works.

Our experienced estimators assess design and construction requirements, and work with design-ers to analyze structural, mechanical, plumbing, and electrical systems. When our preconstruction teams identify a more economical or effective system, we let you know up front. We consistently generate methods and alternatives to make tough projects workable or troubled concepts viable.

Our value analysis and plans review process spots potential problems faster, controls costs, maximizes quality, and saves time by avoiding costly redesign during construction. Simply put, you get the best possible product at the right price.

CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT

A HARKINS STRENGTH

We offer unparalleled expertise in the special-ized fi eld of construction management, general contracting, and design-build contracting. That expertise allows Harkins to tailor solutions to complex, construction-related problems and ensure that a project meets the high standards required in today’s market.

By meticulous preconstruction planning, skillful management of the construction process, and staff-ing projects with long-term employees, we can signifi cantly reduce the time and money required for actual construction. Beyond that, we can put your project on the Harkins fast track. Because we have invested signifi cant time in planning and preconstruction, we can offer a staged construction process that begins before building drawings and specifi cations are complete. By compressing the construction time frame, you can start leasing and collecting revenues sooner.

A PARTNERSHIP

FOR PERFORMANCE

At Harkins, we achieve our success by employing a three-partner team concept whereby the client, project designer, and Harkins staff work together closely throughout the design and construction of a project. This approach has been a Harkins standard for many years. Recently, many government agen-cies have adopted “partnering” as a requirement of their contracts.
