Our Process

A structured approach that keeps teams aligned and projects predictable.

Our Commercial Construction Process

Precision, Transparency, & Peace of Mind

At Ampersand Construction, we replace the stress and uncertainty of building with a streamlined process built on proactive communication and data-driven clarity. We manage the complexities of commercial construction so you can focus on your business, providing peace of mind by eliminating unknowns.

We build partnerships through radical transparency:

Clear Schedules

Know exactly where your project stands at all times.

Weekly Critical Item Updates

Stay informed on key milestones and decisions.

Timely Requests for Information (RFIs)

We manage communication efficiently to prevent delays.

This commitment alleviates inherent stresses and fosters deep trust, ensuring a smooth, fast-paced construction process.

The Triad Approach

Precision Through Partnership

We believe the best outcomes are born from a collaborative “Triad”: the Client, the Architect, and the Construction Manager (Ampersand).

Our iterative process ensures the design evolves in lockstep with the budget, which drastically shortens the timeline for critical decision-making. We don’t just manage construction; we manage risk, providing you with the clarity to move forward with absolute confidence.

HOW IT WORKS

Our Three-Phase Precision Estimating Process

We replace uncertainty with data-driven clarity. Our tiered approach allows you to control your investment at every milestone, ensuring the project only moves forward when the numbers meet your vision.

Phase 1: Concept Calibration (The Ballpark)

Phase 2: Project Refinement (The Budget Estimate)

Phase 3: Guaranteed Execution (The Hard Bid)

Why This Process Works for You

Project Closeout & Facility Turnover Services

At Ampersand Construction, the successful completion of your project extends beyond the final coat of paint. Our formalized project closeout process is meticulous, designed to provide you with comprehensive documentation for long-term facility management and operational efficiency. We ensure a seamless transition from construction site to operational asset.

HOW IT WORKS

Our Meticulous Closeout Procedure

Throughout the entire construction lifecycle, we maintain rigorous, detailed records of all jobsite activities. This commitment to documentation culminates in our comprehensive electronic closeout package, a vital tool for the building owner and facilities team.

Our digital turnover package includes:

Accurate As-Built Drawings

Comprehensive, updated drawings that reflect the actual installed conditions and any field modifications during construction.

Warranties & Guarantees

A consolidated, organized file of all manufacturer warranties, subcontractor guarantees, and product certifications for easy reference and claims management.

Operation & Maintenance (O&M) Manuals

Digital manuals and guides for all installed equipment and systems, facilitating proper maintenance and troubleshooting.

Digital Finish & Material Samples

High-quality digital samples and detailed specifications for all finishes used (paints, flooring, etc.) to facilitate accurate matching and future renovations.

This thorough process provides complete transparency and ensures you have all necessary information to operate and maintain your new facility efficiently from day one.
