Industries

Our clients define our motives. Since we are in the business of supporting their business’s needs, we customize our services and structure in order to have a personalized approach to meeting their specific project needs.

Commercial

Whether you are interested in developing space for lease, creating a personal office environment, renovating, planning a new operation or providing tenant improvement services, we have the experience to meet your needs. Our team can provide you with site evaluation information, budget estimates, schedules, design and engineering options, construction, and service after completion for your project.

“From beginning to completion, they have been attentive to detail, painstaking in maintaining the historic details of the building, respectful and considerate of 1st floor tenants, reliable, honest and skilled. Their entire staff… are professionals and the highest integrity and expertise.”
– Randall and Mercia Edson, Oddfellows Hall

“We couldn't be more pleased with our new office space. Construction Collaborative exceeded our expectations! Their workmanship, attention to detail and cost consciousness made our remodel run smoothly.”
– Hal Henderson, Princiapl HGA

Education

In providing Design/Build services for institutional organizations across the area, our team has learned the importance of working with education boards and committees. Through development of private schools, public schools, and non-profit agencies, we understand the importance of meeting the demands of budget and function requirements. We can provide multiple budgets on various building options, prior to authorizing construction documents, to optimize the value of the money budgeted for the project.

“I cannot find words to express how wonderful it was to work with your company, particularly Grant and Derek. Their strong communication, dedication to finding solutions and commitment to the project made it so easy to be on the 'owner' end. I placed full trust in them-and they didn't disappoint!”
– Barb Plenge, Principal
   St. Francis Of Assisi School
   Rochester Catholic Schools

Government

We provide a process of selection determined on qualifications in which the owner can adhere to their local procurement codes, and in the process, select a Design/Build Contractor to provide the design and construction services required. Our team’s experience and capability to work with your local Administrator and Councils to provide an alternative and successful solution helps make your vision a reality. Our “One-on-One Approach” to solving your facility needs provides the answers from master planning to final construction, all within the budget established early in the process.

Health Care

Due to our extensive experience in the remodeling and construction of medical facilities, we are accustomed to working with individual physicians, hospital administrators and medical agencies. Time is of the upmost importance in the medical field and we know that the layout/design of your office and exam room areas can make a huge difference in your ability to provide care to your patients. We look forward to creating a functional and pleasing work environment for you and your employees.

“Great projects don’t just happen idly. They need vision, leadership, teamwork and quality execution. Thank you and congratulations on a job that truly exceeds our expectations!”
– OMC Representative

Retail/Hospitality

Since 1983, our diverse staff has put decades of combined retail construction project management experience to work for our clients, both on the general contractor and on the client side of the retail construction industry.

“Thanks to Construction Collaborative for providing excellent service and quality work during our tenant buildout project. You and your team will be the first professionals I call when we decide to expand our operations once again.”
– Jerry Zubay

Restoration

Brand new construction is not always the answer to your building needs. Renovation of commercial property can just as effectively provide expanded space and fresh architecture. We recognize the value of an existing structure, especially if the location of the property is desirable. In some cases, our clients simply need to update their properties in order to meet building codes and comply with insurance standards. We enjoy beginning the transformation process of a small or tired building into an impressive, up-to-date structure.

“Thank you for our beautiful building. There is not a day that goes by that I don’t admire the craftsmanship of your employees. It has been a great pleasure to work with your firm, and we continue to be impressed with your friendship, professional ability and dedication.”
– Gillian Duncan
