Construction Services
Pre-Construction
Planning is the key to any successful construction project and the preconstruction phase is when major decisions are made that have a significant impact on quality, schedule, and cost. Having an established construction firm involved at this stage of your project incorporates construction expertise at a time when it is most useful.
Oak Construction’s approach during Pre-Construction is to understand the client’s needs and make informed decisions in order to achieve a seamless transition from the design phase to the project site.
Oak Constrictions pre-construction experts are skilled in developing creative, value-driven alternatives that maintain design, performance and aesthetic objectives while also considering constructability, life-time maintenance and operations, and sustainability.
General Contracting
Oak Construction is a full-service general contractor that has the knowledge and the experience to customize a solution to meet the specific needs of your project.
We understand that effective coordination of job sites and strong relationships with subcontractors and other partners are critical to delivering a project efficiently, seamlessly, and without scope changes or change orders during the building process.
By utilizing accurate estimating procedures, maintaining budgets, running efficient and organized jobsites, and working with an extensive network of reliable, quality subcontractors and suppliers, our general contracting teams continually deliver quality construction projects on time and on budget.
Post-Construction
Oak Construction takes great pride in maintaining solid client relationships well beyond owner-occupancy and we realize that a project isn’t complete just because the construction phase is done. Our experience and proficiency in post-construction services helps ensure a successful handoff of your building and provides you the confidence of owning and operating a sustainable facility.
Construction Consulting
The experts at Oak Construction possess decades of engineering and construction experience and apply this knowledge to the everyday challenges that owners, contractors, engineers, and architects face throughout the construction process. Whether it is project scheduling, estimating, logistics, constructability reviews, or full-service project management, we will work with you to match your needs with solutions that will provide the best results for your project.
Working collaboratively with your team, our professional consultants focus on identifying and minimizing project risks. Using a partnering approach, we provide input and advice that can potentially reduce your project’s delivery schedule, increase operating efficiencies, and allow for an overall savings in time and cost, helping to ensure that the vision for your project is executed flawlessly.
Project Delivery
Regardless of the delivery method your project may require, experienced professionals, exceptional communication, full team integration, and a commitment to working collaboratively with all parties involved are essential for the successful completion of any building project.
Working with some of the most respected architects, engineers, and construction professionals in the industry, Oak Construction consistently assembles teams that are appropriate for your specific job requirements and has extensive experience working successfully within a number of project delivery methods.
Project Management
Having an established construction firm involved in the early stages of your project incorporates construction expertise at a time when it is most useful. Serving as a Construction Manager as Agent, Oak Construction will work collaboratively with your architects and engineers during the planning and design phase, with a focus on identifying constructability issues and offering value engineering suggestions.
Using a partnering approach, we provide input and advice regarding cost estimates, scheduling, construction methods and feasibility.
As your project moves to the construction phase, Oak Construction can oversee the evaluation and selection of the general contractor or subcontractors, helping to secure experienced, qualified firms with proven performance records for completion of the job.
If your project requires a Construction Manager at Risk, Oak Construction can also serve as the general contractor responsible for building your project. As the single point of responsibility for the construction phase, we will coordinate all subcontractor bids and assure completion of the project at a guaranteed maximum price.
Design-Bid-Build
While there are tremendous advantages to involving a construction firm early on in the planning and design process, the more traditional design-bid-build delivery method is often necessary for many projects. The management skill and experience of the estimating and pre-construction personnel at Oak Construction has allowed us to consistently deliver successful design-bid-build projects on budget and on time.
We maintain the same fundamental approach for every job:
- Produce an accurate original bid
- Employ qualified subcontractors and suppliers
- Take responsibility for every project
Our goal is to deliver your construction project efficiently, seamlessly, and without scope changes or change orders during the building process. We achieve this by utilizing accurate estimating procedures, maintaining budgets, running efficient and organized job sites, and working with an extensive network of reliable, quality subcontractors and suppliers.

Safety
Delivering a safe project starts long before the first worker sets foot on a construction site and goes well beyond wearing safety glasses and hard hats on the job.

Through proper planning and training, employee empowerment, constant vigilance, and consistent enforcement, our safety program has yielded an impeccable performance record with an Experience Modification Rate (EMR), Incident Ratio, and Injury Rates that are well below industry standards.
