The critical path, in our hands.

GilbertLanham carpenters, ironworkers, finishers and operators carry the work that sets the pace, so your schedule rests on crews we hire, train and direct every day.

What is at stake.

01

Schedules are poured and erected

Foundations, structure and sitework set the rhythm for every trade above them. Control those crews and you control the finish date.

02

A low bid with no crew is no bid

In a busy market the trade partner you priced may not have people free the week you need them. Our own crews close that gap.

03

Errors at the bottom climb

An embed out of tolerance or a slab out of level causes trouble for every trade that follows. Getting the base right pays all the way to the roof.

Our approach

How we build it.

  1. 01

    Concrete

    Footings, foundations, post-tensioned and shored decks, cores and slabs on grade, with our own formwork, pour sequences and flatness checks.

  2. 02

    Structural steel and metals

    Erection, bolting, decking and embeds by our ironworkers, with every crane pick planned before the first piece arrives.

  3. 03

    Earthwork and site preparation

    Clearing, mass excavation, underground utilities and building pads, run with our own equipment.

  4. 04

    Carpentry and general conditions

    Rough carpentry, blocking, doors, hardware and specialties, plus the protection, cleanup and support that keep a site moving.

  5. 05

    Production tracked daily

    Foremen log installed quantities and hours every shift, so we see productivity against the plan the next morning, not at month end.

What lands on your desk.

Scope is set project by project. These are the working documents you can count on, updated on a regular cycle and yours to keep.

Self-perform planScope split

Which scopes our crews carry, which go to trade partners, and the cost and schedule reasoning for each.

Crew-loaded scheduleManpower

Durations built from real crew sizes and production rates, not rules of thumb.

Equipment planFleet

Cranes, lifts, excavators and support equipment matched to the work and the logistics plan.

Pour and erection sequencesSequencing

Placement order, shoring and reshoring, and steel erection order tied to inspections.

Field quality recordsDaily

Pre-pour checklists, survey checks and bolt inspections captured in the field and shared with you.

In practice · Collegiate Ballpark Complex

One off-season. Two ballparks.

The baseball and softball complex had to be built in the gap between two seasons and be ready for the first pitch of conference play. With our own crews on the concrete and structure, we could add shifts and resequence work the moment weather or inspections moved, instead of waiting for an outside crew to free up.

What owners want to know.

Which trades do you self-perform?

Concrete, structural steel, earthwork and carpentry are the core. The split on each project depends on location, scope and schedule.

Do you still bid those scopes to trade partners?

Where it makes sense, yes. We price our crews against trade partner bids and share the comparison with you.

How do we know self-perform pricing is fair?

Our crews work to the same estimate, schedule and quality standards as any subcontractor, and their cost is reported line by line in the monthly reports.
