Ground Up & Development
From the Ground Up — Custom-Built Commercial Properties
Trusted Commercial Builders in the Pacific Northwest
With years of experience in commercial development, we’ve delivered successful projects across the West Coast and Mountain West. Our expertise spans land prep, site utilities, building envelope construction, and interiors that are tailored to your business type. We collaborate with architects, engineers, and city officials to keep your timeline on track and your investment protected. From permitting to foundations, we’re your partner from day one.
End-to-End Solutions for New Commercial Builds
We begin with land studies, zoning reviews, and feasibility assessments — helping business owners choose the right location and avoid costly surprises.
We handle the paperwork: permit submission, architectural coordination, environmental compliance, and utility planning — particularly important in growing areas throughout the Pacific Northwest.
Our crews perform excavation, grading, drainage systems, and structural foundations with the precision required for long-term integrity.
We build the full exterior—walls, roofing, framing, windows, and entryways—with high-efficiency materials and modern design.
Need a move-in-ready space? We provide interior tenant improvements, including HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and finish carpentry tailored to retail, medical, and office tenants across the Portland Metro Area.
Efficient, Transparent, and Built to Last
Pre-Development Planning
We conduct zoning checks, design reviews, and scope development to ensure your project fits both your business needs and local regulations.
Budgeting & Value Engineering
Our team refines the budget with real-time market pricing, offering smart design adjustments that protect your goals and bottom line.
Ground-Up Construction
From breaking ground to topping out, we coordinate every trade and timeline, providing transparent updates and managing field crews across multiple disciplines.
Quality Control & Inspections
Every phase is inspected for structural, mechanical, and safety standards. We handle walkthroughs and corrections proactively — a must in tightly regulated jurisdictions across the Pacific Northwest.
Once the building is complete, we finalize landscaping, signage, and occupancy paperwork so you or your tenants can move in with confidence.
