Summary of Services By redefining and re-bundling traditional services, Beck delivers a service or an entire project - approvals, planning, programming, construction, procurement, and commissioning. You gain confidence knowing we are one team, integrating our services and our decisions to add value for your project. On any project, a team can be created to exactly meet the needs of the client and the project conditions.
Integrated Services In addition to standard services outlined above, the Beck Group can provide a fully integrated team with a single point of client contact, to handle all aspects of a major project. this approach is a leap beyond the contractual arrangement between an architect and a contractor for a design/build team. With the construction expertise as a part of the design team and architectural experience applied all the way through pricing, scheduling, and construction, we will solve many of the problems that slow or complicate construction projects in today’s market.
The advantages of a fully integrated team include:
A better understanding of the client’s major concerns, all the way through the project. A single point of contact for all issues. Better pricing information early in the process. No concerns for the client with coordination issues between design team and contractor. Maximum ability to solve delays and cost problems caused by long-lead items. A reduction in time of the entire design/construction process. A higher quality product, built more specifically to the client’s needs.
The totally integrated approach offers the ultimate coordination of skills and information to provide maximum efficiency of project delivery to the client.
Construction Management If a project requires services for Construction Management to and Construction Services work with a pre-selected General Contractor, Beck can provide the coordination to relieve the client of dedicating personnel to that task.
As a General Contractor, Beck’s reputation for quality construction projects is unsurpassed. We know the construction process can only be successful if the process is a well- orchestrated series of events. During the construction phase, we will direct all of the construction activities by first planning and then executing the plan. Our 96-year history also allows us to take advantage of our great subcontractor relationships.
Our job doesn’t end after construction. We provide a wide range of post-construction services from facilities training to our unique 11-month walk-through.
Beck performs an 11-month walk-through on every construction project completed. What this entails is the Beck project manager coming back to your facility 11 months after construction is completed. He will walk the site with you to go over anything you are unsure about or any warranty items that need to be addressed before they expire. Should any items need attention, the project manager will coordinate the work before the warranties expire. We are dedicated to exceeding your expectations.

Teamwork Building a foundation of trust and rapport is critical in establishing a team relationship. Nothing builds rapport and trust faster than performance -- doing what you say you will do. This is a guiding principle in our every action. It does not start the day we sign a contract. It begins with the initial conversation with a customer and carries forward as the relationship and project develop.
Teamwork moves the project forward in a focused direction. It organizes and increases the efficiency of the delivery process which allows individuals to plan and schedule; not simply react. As a company, and as a key participant on a customer's team, we realize that the value of the combined effort exceeds that derived from the sum of the individual strengths alone. Only through working as a team can we achieve the high standards which our culture demands.
Innovation Beck seeks to identify every opportunity to promote efficiency and minimize costs.
As a member of the team, Beck helps determine the most cost- efficient techniques and operating systems. The team thoroughly studies the project's preliminary documents with an eye toward "project buildability". We apply our knowledge and skills to engineer the greatest possible value into the final design on behalf of the owner.
Quality Assurance Beck believes that quality is 95% attitude, and that with proper training and planning, employees and craftsmen will perform quality work.
Our Quality Assurance Program (QAP) focuses on every major quality check point in the construction process. Our QAP incorporates a Monitoring and Control System into every job. This system is used to determine our success in achieving our goal - - to complete each job right the first time and conformance with contract requirements.
Our QAP is an integral part of the "Pursuit of Excellence" philosophy that has long been our successful foundation in serving our growing list of satisfied customers.
