Construction
Building without preparation and a plan will only bring frustration and delays. The cohesive team at Southtree Commercial Construction utilizes our extensive skill set and experience to keep projects on the right path. From tenant buildouts and medical office buildings to corporate headquarters, we complete projects in a variety of industries and sizes. With a large footprint in the south metro Atlanta area, we have over 30 years of experience working with our local municipalities, vendors, and subcontractors. Established relationships are essential in navigating the complexities of construction projects.
With many moving parts, tight deadlines, priorities of stakeholders, and an assortment of details, we use a combination of tools and processes to manage our projects. Whether we are operating as a General Contractor and managing the construction side of your project or providing a full spectrum of services through design-build project delivery, we follow processes to ensure your project stays on schedule.
Precision in Preconstruction
When we discuss a construction project with you, we start the conversation with preconstruction. The preconstruction process involves the design, permitting, estimating, scheduling, coordination, and constant communication. Our team persistently works through each phase of the process to set a project on the right path. Careful examination of the preconstruction process helps identify your vision to match its construction budget.
We use Procore Construction Management software to manage all of our projects. A valuable tool, this cloud-based software allows for improved efficiency and accountability by streamlining project communication and documentation. Once all the details of preconstruction are handled, we handoff the project to our construction team, led by a project manager (PM) and superintendent.
Construction in Progress
With a clear direction established in preconstruction, our construction team is engaged and begins managing the construction process. The assigned PM is responsible for all activities related to the construction contract and develops the road map for the project team to follow. The PM is the liaison for the project team and is tasked with managing documents, meetings, changes, and budgets. The assigned full-time on-site superintendent implements the day-to-day operations on the construction site and controls the short-term schedule. The role of the superintendent also includes quality control and subcontractor task coordination.
Closeout Review
Once a project is complete, the preconstruction and construction teams meet to review each phase of the project thoroughly. Challenges, discoveries, and successes are discussed. We value continuous improvement and transparency. Closeout reviews are critical in sharing and gaining knowledge for the entire team. We compile closeout documents for the project owner to include warranty information and other helpful documentation. To feature your project in our marketing materials and website, we will request to take interior and exterior photos.
Southtree Team,
On behalf of Landmark Christian School’s Board of Trustees, I just wanted to personally thank each of you for your efforts over the summer. I am still in awe of the amount of work your team accomplished in a short amount of time to expand Landmark’s K4-K5 classrooms. You took an idea and brought it to reality in record time. From the design process to estimating, procurement, project management, and on-site supervision, what your entire team was able to accomplish was truly remarkable. I hope you realize that what you were able to accomplish is much larger than constructing a two-story educational building. Without your efforts, dozens of children this year, and hundreds more in the years to come, would not have been able to attend Landmark Christian School. Hearts and minds will be shaped and transformed because of you as the school prepares them to impact the world for Jesus Christ.
