Whether you’re an owner, developer, architect or public organization, you’ll find that collaborating with Breakell gives you the finest construction services and outstanding project management.

Pre-Construction Consulting

Breakell has the depth and breadth of experience to offer clear insightful analysis and organization to any project. By getting involved early, we’re able to offer our years of knowledge and extensive resources to assist in the project approach, determine budgets and plan scheduling. Pre-construction consulting allows us to identify and solve potential construction issues early, avoiding the cost and delays that might otherwise occur. It also allows all partners to begin the process with the same vision and the same high expectations.

Construction Project Delivery

Our vast experience in construction makes us a valuable resource and partner. We can work as part of your team in a variety of flexible ways, adding value each step of the way. Our most satisfied clients are those who make us part of the larger picture.

Construction Management

Sound management is the single most important element to completing a project on schedule and on budget. We bring these principles to bear on every project we build; or we can provide extensive construction management services for your projects with other builders.

Let us make your project run smoothly with:

Estimating and value engineering. The development of a thoughtful, detailed estimate is the most important contribution that the construction manager can make to the project. The confidence the team has in those estimates makes the difference between educated guessing and true issue-driven management decision-making.
Scheduling. Schedules are developed and refined again after completion of each stage of progress. Partners are advised of schedule changes via the Internet and color print-outs.
