Our team’s extensive knowledge of working with local jurisdictions allows us to transition easily from the design phase into the working construction documents, and on to smooth permitting and inspection during construction. We involve the local authority early in the process so that zoning, plan review, and code interpretation is easy.

Pinkard’s primary strategy for accurate and competitive pricing will include pre-purchase agreements to offset the long lead times for materials and equipment and very early subcontractor engagement to allow best-value subcontractors time to make room for us in their schedules and manpower allocations.

We hold a partnering kick-off meeting with all significant team partners. We work to define the most effective methods of communication, find the best ways to identify and resolve conflict and define and set goals for success. We form a foundation for effective communication that sets up the project for success.

Between each estimate phase, we will assemble a list of all your possible options and pricing for building systems and materials. This list — our Cost Analysis Report (CAR) — provides you with a week-by-week tabulation of all your pricing options and related decisions.

Pinkard’s full-time Warranty Superintendent is your single-source contact for post-completion. His experience working with owners, architects, and subcontractors makes him an effective owner’s rep for dealing with warranty issues. His long-term construction experience makes him uniquely qualified to understand the “trades” side of warranty issues.

Pinkard's quality control program is fourfold. We conduct an extensive document review process. Our defect prevention programs include building it virtually and detecting clashes. We build mock-ups in the field to reduce defects. We have a warranty and close-out process that begins in preconstruction.

We use VE to optimize construction quality and cost within your budget. Our extensive value engineering studies offer ideas and solutions rather than scope cuts or deletions.

Pinkard has a history of responsible and accurate early budgeting and procurement, with a less than 3% average cost variance from DD’s to final pricing. Pinkard involves key subcontractor trades early to provide clients with design assist input and current market pricing.

Our project teams believe that the best schedule comes from thoughtful and proactive planning. A thorough and accurately prepared schedule considers realistic scope performance requirements and anticipates the potential for delay from unforeseen conditions, procurement issues, sequencing conflicts, and other issues common to projects such as yours.

80% of your opportunities to control costs and balance your budget with your programming will occur during the preconstruction phase. Our success stems from our ability to get the most out of various cost control processes and teaming exercises to control our owners’ budgets, maximize their programming, and produce exceptional quality.

Our creative approach to site logistics is focused on minimizing disruptions to the neighborhood while maximizing our team’s ability to produce quality construction at the lowest possible cost. Our experience in both tight, urban sites as well as rural or mountain areas has prepared us for anything.

Pinkard’s teams are dedicated to leading a predictable, low-drama construction experience that focuses on safety and quality. Our project managers utilize cutting-edge technology to manage communication, quality, safety, and logistics.
