PRECONSTRUCTION Careful planning prior to the start of a job can help the project team detect critical details that, when addressed, result in fewer construction-phase changes, reduced construction time, and even cost savings. Our preliminary cost, schedule, design, and constructability review services provide clients with valuable information during project planning. This information helps ensure the continuity between preconstruction and construction, so that decisions made during planning are accurately implemented in the field. SELF-PERFORMANCE Atkinson self-performs a majority of the construction activities for highway, bridge, tunnel, and shaft projects. These skills, coupled with our ability to provide the necessary supervision, manpower, equipment, and materials, enable us to tackle even the most complex heavy civil projects for our clients. In addition, our extensive self-perform experience provides us with a clear understanding of a project's true cost, as well as the most appropriate means and methods required to complete the work. DESIGN-BUILD Our ability to analyze a project's design and approach enables us to create the best value products for our clients. Utilizing the design-build process helps us assemble a team that has an appropriate mix of skills to meet the project's specific requirements. Our relationships with some of the nation's leading engineering firms ensure that we are offering our clients the most appropriate and cost-effective design ideas. They allow us to add value to the design process by providing input on constructability, design innovation, budgeting, cost control, and logistics.
