The Building Principles Method
Precision in the Shell. Professionalism in the Office.
At Building Principles, we recognize that the structural shell is the most volatile phase of any construction project. Delays here ripple through every subsequent trade. We operate as a multi-scope structural partner specifically to stabilize the schedule and eliminate the common friction points between concrete, masonry, and rough carpentry.
The Multi-Scope Advantage
Ownership of the Interface
Most project delays occur at the “hand-off”—where the slab meets the wall, or the wall meets the roof truss. By bundling the three primary structural scopes, we remove the “finger-pointing.
Single Accountability:
One point of contact for the entire structural skeleton.
Integrated Scheduling:
We coordinate the transition between concrete, masonry, and rough carpentry internally, ensuring no “dead days” on the job site.
Dimensional Continuity:
We verify that the tolerances of the foundation match the requirements of the framing before the first block is even laid.
Our Pre-Construction Philosophy
Solving Problems Before the Pour
We don’t just bid plans; we audit them. Our “Owner-Mindset” means we look for the missing detail or the structural conflict during the estimating phase, not when the pump truck is on-site.
Scope Discipline:
Our proposals are clear, qualified, and thorough. We identify what is included and, more importantly, what is excluded, so there are no surprises at the contract table.
Proactive RFIs:
If we see a discrepancy in the hardware schedule or a lintel detail, we raise the flag early to keep the critical path clear.
Administrative Excellence
Built for the Professional GC
A successful project requires a clean paper trail. Building Principles is structured to meet the administrative demands of sophisticated General Contractors and Developers.
Digital Workflows
We utilize professional project management and submittal processes to ensure approvals move as fast as the field work.
Safety Culture:
Safety is not a checklist; it is a prerequisite. We maintain strict compliance with OSHA standards and site-specific safety protocols to protect our people and your project’s reputation.
Clear Communication:
We provide regular progress updates and maintain an open line of communication with site superintendents to ensure we stay ahead of the schedule.
