Russell is a growth-oriented firm with 150+ full time construction and development professionals, providing a spectrum of services to clients on a regional basis. The foundation of our success dates back to 1983 when Jim Russell followed his passion for the industry and his entrepreneurial instincts, and founded a commercial construction company.
Russell has a time-proven method to what we do and how we do it. There are reasons customers continue to choose us to help them get the most building for their investment. Our teams take the right steps to ensure that projects stay on budget and are delivered on time. On any construction project there are a variety of moving parts and pieces. Budget and schedule details, evolving design, changing building models, and even owner stakeholders may all be shifting as the process unfolds. This is where a commercial building contractor with hands-on building experience, technical know-how, strong trade partner relationships and a knack for looking at things a little differently all come into play.
Our goal is to be involved in your project from the very beginning to eliminate any surprises that can come along the way. Our team will identify and remove any potential barriers that impede the your project goals, as we carefully devise a plan of action to accomplish your desired outcomes. Our focus is centered on the elements that have the greatest potential to affect cost and value. No matter what delivery method you choose, Russell's team will provide prompt and expert advice to guide you through the preconstruction process.
The project delivery method is one of the most important factors to consider when embarking on a new construction project. Several fundamental project considerations are directly impacted by the delivery method selected including risk allocation, the need to adhere to a realistic budget, a schedule that accurately represents the performance period, and the level of collaboration between contractor, designer and owner. There are numerous types of delivery methods that Russell's qualified staff can provide to our Owners.
The concept of building smart and cost effectively is ingrained in our roots. Our teams are focused on being your advocate and a knowledgeable resource, no matter where you are in the construction process. We embrace a wide range of delivery methods used by owners today and cherish the opportunity to lead you through your construction journey. The best way to sum up the philosophy of our preconstruction services is proactive and collaborative. Our pre-construction services allow clients to tap into our extensive construction expertise during the planning phase of their project.
