Carlson Construction

Since 1990, Carlson has been recognized as a leading general contractor, design builder and construction manager serving its customers across the country. Carlson has a broad range of public and private industry customers, including commercial and industrial developers, Fortune 500 corporations, educational and religious institutions, local and State governmental bodies and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

The entire Carlson team is skilled and experienced in all phases of construction and development from initial programming through construction completion and project close-out. Established procedures, relentless discipline, and meticulous attention to detail are what drive us to achieve our fundamental goal of exceeding customers' expectations for a quality-built project in a safe and healthy environment, delivered on time and on budget. We have executed countless successful projects which have resulted in a reputation for construction excellence.

Providing quality services to our customers is our number one priority, and our goal is to be your strategic partner and advocate, not just your contractor. Our relentless commitment to quality is an integral part of our company values and technological systems. We first understand your needs and expectations and the needs of the project, then work with the TEAM to provide innovative solutions tailored to your unique needs and expectations. We add value by applying our lessons learned from every project we’ve been involved in to mitigate risk and utilize state-of-the-art technology tools to increase efficiency and minimize waste. No matter what the contractual method, the core of our approach is an integrated delivery mindset where our services are performed in a team-oriented atmosphere with open communication to achieve common goals.

he use of lean construction strategies, within the context of IPD, is becoming more prevalent in the construction industry. Some owners are preferring to deploy an IPD approach that is hybrid in nature….meaning there is a preference to use more traditional A/E and GC contract documents while still receiving the benefits of lean design and construction practices with integrated delivery. This approach eliminates the need for a specialized contract sometimes referred to as an Integrated Form of Agreement (IFOA) in which all parties, including designers and subcontractors, share in predetermined, project specific risk/reward scenario. Working side by side with the A/E team and selecting major trade contracts in system specific we can develop options and solutions in real ime, in fewer days, using pull planning target valuing and virtual 3D modeling. One of the keys to success is having a small but select core of leadership team, inclusive of the client, to provide guidance and timely decision-making. Unnecessary steps in the delivery process are eliminated and the team is focused from start to finish on delivering “best value” as defined by an overall facility life cycle analysis, including achieving the project’s strategic, operational, and financial performance goals.
