Services
At R. Berti we provide a wide array of services, ranging from mid-size commercial construction projects, to multi-million dollar facilities, as well as renovations and additions to existing facilities. We perform work under the traditional General Contractor format, Construction Management as well as Design-Build. We strive to remain as flexible as possible to meet each of our clients' unique needs. We favor an "open book" approach with our pricing policies and maintain a competitive position in our industry. We believe the key to a successful project is to become involved in the planning process with the client early, and then act as a partner in the project, always keeping the client's best interests in mind.
Pre-Construction Services
By working with a client early in the overall process, we can provide our knowledge and experience to help shape the most effective plan for optimum project success.
Site Assessment and Evaluation - We can quickly assess a potential property to make sure that it will meet a client's needs in regards to usable space, parking requirements, zoning, set-backs, utilities, etc.
Preliminary Budgeting - We can help establish overall budgets by providing preliminary cost estimates for each aspect of the project.
"Big Picture" Value Engineering - We can identify alternate methods or products than can save our clients money, as well as schedule time.
Master Project Scheduling - Scheduling is a crucial part of any construction project. We help to identify critical lead-time items that may have to be ordered early, and establish detailed timelines and schedules.
