Baldwin & Shell Construction

A contracting method gaining popularity is Design-Build construction. Design-Build can save cost and time for business owners. Whereas the traditional Design-Bid-Build process separates design and construction, Design-Build provides a single point of responsibility for an entire project. Instead of the owner contracting separately with the architect and the contractor, Design-Build typically ties the architect contractually to the builder. The contractor then enters into a Design-Build contract with the owner.

Baldwin & Shell's Construction Services Team was formed in 1990 to bring our general contracting skills and project management expertise to the unique challenges of smaller-scale and interior construction projects. Baldwin & Shell's Construction Services Team oversees renovations, tenant build-outs, additions and new construction projects with efficiency, flexibility and sensitivity to client needs. Work includes commercial offices, corporate headquarters, law offices, data centers and healthcare facilities.

Construction projects - regardless of size - involve numerous details, and not every owner has the time or experience to manage the process. Baldwin & Shell provides superior Construction Management services to public and private owners alike. We have experience managing everything from single construction projects to multiple project programs on a single campus to projects spread among several sites. During the design phase, we provide construction feasibility advice. We work with and assist the owner and architect in the selection of service providers, materials, building systems, and equipment.

Baldwin & Shell's design phase services offer significant advantages to projects of every scope and size. During the preconstruction period, we will develop, maintain and/or improve the project's budget and schedule. Our depth of experience allows us to determine the constructability of your project and develop detailed construction schedules that are realistic and successfully meet your needs. We evaluate materials and systems in each phase of the preconstruction process, and we assist in making decisions that will yield the maximum return for your budget.

Whenever possible, Baldwin & Shell self-performs critical portions of its construction projects, including concrete work, excavation and grading, underground utilities and drainage systems. We have the skilled labor, specialized equipment and hands-on experience to get the job done right, right from the start. These resources apply to general building projects of all types, as well as industrial projects and other plant facilities. We operate and maintain our own heavy equipment, which allows us to self-perform these tasks to our high standards.

Although pre-construction is a significant piece of our construction services, we also manage the construction phase, using our own crews to self-perform portions of the work or enlisting prequalified subcontractors who meet our high standards for quality and cost-consciousness. By combining our construction skills and experience with true innovation, we can bring you the highest levels of efficiency and quality to each and every project. Throughout the construction phase, we utilize techniques that will improve productivity, reduce costs and give clients the best project possible.
