Buestad Construction brings the spirit of collaboration to each project. The company is known for its accommodating style, its willingness to experiment and research—all in support of ensuring client and design team goals. With over 70 years of building, Buestad knows the importance of delivering both the big vision and the exacting, minute details.

Clarity and planning in Pre-construction

Involving Buestad in the earliest project planning stages allows the opportunity to save clients time and money. Well before construction begins on site, Buestad’s collaborative senior team provides experienced construction guidance to best match the design intent and creates initial cost breakdowns that help determine budgeting priorities. Buestad can also leverage their long-standing industry relationships to deliver value to the project. Buestad maps out a CPM (critical path methodology) schedule that anticipates future challenges and maximizes efficiencies throughout the project, identifying milestone dates for decisions early in the project in order to avoid delays. The company can fulfill early site analysis, including installing story poles, to help the construction phase run smoothly.

Efficient and meticulous Construction

Buestad’s knowledgeable project management and supervision team leads the project to completion, from developing a final construction budget and schedule to supervising Buestad’s and its subcontracting partners’ work on the property. Buestad aims to minimize the impact of construction to clients and neighbors by running a coordinated, clean and efficient site. Constant communication with the client, design team, and contributing artisans is always paramount to Buestad.

Exacting reporting and management

In both the preconstruction and construction phases, Buestad’s collaborative approach is paired with its rigorous financial controls, detailed reports, thorough estimating, transparent communications and its investment in the latest management technologies including:

  • for transparency: Buestad utilizes cloud-based Procore software to connect and communicate, ensuring efficiency on each assignment. The software allows real-time access to project status, so client and design teams can evaluate and reach decisions based on the most actuate project data. Teams can directly review photo logs, plan sets, revisions, tracking reports, permitting status, meeting minutes, punch lists, change orders, information request, and other project documentation.
  • CPM for schedule accountability: Buestad stays focused on project completion through rigorous scheduling facilitated by Microsoft Project Critical Path Management, which minimizes production delays and maximizes efficiencies on the job site.
  • Fully integrated software systems for financial control: Buestad’s proprietary cost reporting system allows project budgets and expenditures to be viewed and assessed in real time.
  • AIA Contracts for clarity: Buestad exclusively uses contracts developed by the American Institute of Architects. Those documents are designed to address the concerns of all parties, reflect the latest legal and insurance requirements, and incorporate current industry practices and technology.

Sustainability savvy

Buestad is fluent in smart power, water-saving systems, and green-focused materials and methodology. To stay on top of sustainability advancements, Buestad maintains affiliations with US Green Building Council (USGBC), Build it Green, and is an allied member of AIA/East Bay (American Institute of Architects).
