Collaborative
We take a highly collaborative approach with every building project, working closely with owners, architects, and the rest of the planning team. We believe the most successful construction projects are those that start with collaborative planning and communication well before ground is broken.
We provide expert cost, schedule and sustainability analyses of design modalities and other variables that allow you to make informed decisions that will best address your goals. This process eliminates surprises during construction and the result is a high-caliber project that meets or exceeds your expectations.
Engaged
Our construction management approach results in on time, on budget projects of the highest quality and the best value. Kraus-Anderson has been described by clients as a “very engaged contractor.” We develop strategies for every project as an extension of the client’s staff, making every decision as if it were our very own project.
