We have one cardinal rule: Make sure every single person who works with us or for us returns home safely every day. And that means everyone, from field personnel to our executive leadership team, is charged with promoting, ensuring, and driving a culture of safety. We have a zero-tolerance policy for unsafe practices and monitor all jobsite safety through a real-time safety metrics system.

Most construction management companies would agree with, "We are what we build." We take it to the next level, "We are how well and worry-free we build for you." It’s about maximizing value, minimizing issues, and delivering the Shawmut Way.

Not every construction manager offers the world-class customer service and value-added services that we do. These are the things that matter the most, yet seem to be offered the least.

It’s one thing to get a job done right. It’s another to get it done right with time and cost efficiencies. That’s the basic premise behind Lean Construction, and it’s integral to how we manage our projects.

We start by mapping out every step of the project—eliminating redundancies, overlaps, and potential miscommunications. We bring all trades to the table, empowering and leveraging each of the subcontractors’ experience to create a shared goal and commitment. The result? Better planning. Better communication. A lot less wasted time and money.

The American Institute of Architects defines IPD as "an approach that integrates people, systems, business structures, and practices into a process that collaboratively harnesses the talents and insights of all participants to optimize project results, increase value to the owner, reduce waste and maximize efficiency through all phases of design, fabrication, and construction."

Certainty of outcome. Those three words have come to be our calling card. It’s why our clients choose us for their most challenging Design/Build projects. Our way forward is always collaborative to maximize efficiency and reduce uncertainty. It begins with design development.

Working hand-in-hand with our architect partners, we select an approach that meets your programmatic, budgetary, and aesthetic goals. We establish design and construction contingencies to help maintain the budget.

We have brought numerous LEED^® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified projects across the finish line, from Certified through Platinum levels.

Sustainable practices guide everything we do—both on-site and in the office. We make informed, deliberate decisions that take into account financial and design concerns as well as ensuring ongoing environmental stewardship.

Imagine being in your space, seeing all the systems work together seamlessly. That’s the idea behind Virtual Design and Construction (VDC). Simulating the entire construction process gives us the ability to reduce building cost, minimize construction time, and increase collaboration.

Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing: Welcome to the heart and soul of your building.

You can’t have a building without mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection systems. But you can have a building without properly built and managed MEP.
