Plato Construction

Since our inception in 1954, SC&A has worked for owners and architects in a competitive bid arrangement. This arrangement most often is based upon SC&A giving a lump sum quotation after plans and specifications are complete. SC&A continues to engage in general contracting projects today in order to keep our skills sharp in the competitive marketplace and guarantee our customers the most economically sound project. SC&A provides general contracting services all throughout Delaware and in parts of Pennsylvania, Maryland and New Jersey.

SC&A's experience in office renovation is hard to beat. Large-scale projects require site development, tight schedules and tremendous variation in custom interiors. Some of SC&A's earliest projects consisted of Concord Plaza, Wilmington's first suburban office park, as well as Foulkstone and Barley Mill Plazas. These early projects gave us the chance to build our skill base in construction and construction management and develop the ability to navigate the necessary government agencies for permits and approvals.

SC&A construction management process applies effective management techniques to planning, design and construction from inception to completion in order to control time. As construction managers, SC&A acts as the agent for the owner. We make decisions in the owner's best interest and manage owner's funds as if they were our own. We strive to act in a way that makes the owner look good in the eyes of their customers.

Capitalizing on the synergy that is created by involving the homeowner and architect in the process, SC&A is able to produce an end result that not only satisfies, but delights the customer. Our reputation for creating distinctive homes of character is no accident. Our success is a direct result of our experience and the skilled craftsmanship of our talented staff. We take pride in producing homes that express the values, lifestyle and integrity of our clients. Many of our prestigious homes have been featured in various publications such as Architectural Digest, Colonial Homes, and Southern Living.

SC&A has an outstanding record for producing fast track projects on a design-build basis. By starting construction during design, we can complete your project much earlier, maximizing the return on your construction investment. As design develops, we monitor and analyze costs and schedules to keep your project within budget. Our expertise, from pre-construction services to final occupancy, in conjunction with owner and architect input, results in first class work and on-time completion.

SC&A offers a full line of construction services and can contract to provide these, in part or in whole, to meet the unique requirements of each customer. Whether you are ready to build or are simply exploring the alternatives available to meet your company's construction needs, SC&A can provide the skilled support to make your project a success.

SC&A Construction is a privately-held corporation, providing construction management, general contracting and design-build services to large and small businesses, non-profit organizations, and homeowners since 1954. Although most of our business is derived in Delaware, the SC&A name is also well known in southeastern Pennsylvania and parts of New Jersey and Maryland. We have deliberately remained relatively small compared to others in the industry, preferring steady, consistent growth and a personal touch.

Starting with determining the project scope and philosophy - such as whether the effort is cost or schedule driven - preconstruction services evaluate whether the fit between the concept and goal is realistic. If a project will not succeed as initially envisioned, our preconstruction services are able to explain why and offer alternatives before construction begins. Our ability to ask the pertinent questions of an owner and architect, and begin compiling data for an owner is very cost effective.
