Building Dialogue

/ BUILDING DIALOGUE / JUNE 2015

hile massive construction projects

are underway throughout the Den-

ver metro area, as evidenced by the

number of cranes lining the skyline,

companies still have smaller-scale construction

projects needs. These particular projects can be

complex, requiring a high level of expertise, how-

ever, finding construction professionals who are

qualified to complete the work doesn’t have to be

challenging.

Some construction firms provide their clients

with dedicated teams, which work solely on smaller

projects. This provides companies with the comfort

of knowing that their needs will be met by an expert

team. It also provides the resources and backing of a

qualified company. The combination of size, strength

and expertise provides clients with a knowledgeable

construction team that can complete projects, regard-

less of their size or complexity.

Smaller construction projects can range in price

anywhere from $25,000 to $10 million, and cover a

wide range of construction needs, including:

Historic Renovations

Many companies are making the decision to move

their operations to historic Denver buildings, requir-

ing specialized renovation work. Some key consider-

ations when renovating a historic structure include

maintaining a building’s integrity while upgrading its

core to meet current code and energy requirements.

This may require the protection or shoring of existing

masonry or exact reconstruction of historic styles. In

either case, owners need a team that understands and

appreciates a building’s historical significance, knows

what questions to ask, and performs the due diligence

necessary to understand the factors driving comple-

tion.
