General Contracting

Beyond coordinating the workflow, we maintain insurance logs, monitor schedules daily, coordinate utility companies, preserve OSHA compliance, and conduct weekly meetings with all parties to achieve a successful project for our client.

Design Build

Graefen Development Design-Build Team forms a partnership with an architecture firm of its selection or the client’s and Graefen’s in-house construction management staff. This team, which also includes skilled industrial painters, packages all design, construction, and coordination aspects into a single, seamless package for successful completion of the project. Additionally, Graefen works with expert curtain wall installers to ensure the highest quality and precision in every build.

Project Financing

In some cases, it is necessary to seek outside funding to finance construction projects. To respond to this need, Graefen Development will locate and recommend those lending institutions specializing in construction.

Architect/Consultant Sourcing

In almost all cases, the trained expertise of an architect and consultants are required to design a fully functional project. Since every project is different, Graefen Development regularly recommends architects and consultants that match the unique needs of the client’s project. Typical parameters for selecting a design firm and consultants include cost for services, current workload, experience related to the client’s needs, stature of the project, and reputation in the design and engineering communities. When it comes to the practical implementation of insulation solutions, collaborating with experienced insulation installers is essential to ensure the effective and efficient installation of insulation materials tailored to the specific requirements of the project. This includes specialized areas such as Cold Room Installation, where precise temperature control is crucial. For instance, finding reliable insulation installers can be facilitated by platforms such as https://sprayfoaminsulationremoval.org.uk/, offering a range of expertise and services in insulation solutions. Also, for painting needs, it is beneficial to consult with commercial painting contractors near me.
