Construction Management
Smith Construction provides comprehensive construction management services for institutional, commercial, and industrial projects. Our team coordinates capital improvements, manages subcontractors, and implements real-time financial tracking. With experience overseeing $125M+ projects, we ensure timely delivery through expert planning and safety-focused execution while maintaining strict quality control throughout the construction lifecycle.
Design-Build
Our design-build services combine architectural design with construction expertise to streamline project delivery. By collaborating with designers during pre-construction, we optimize budgets and schedules while maintaining constructability. This approach reduces pre-construction timelines by 30-40% through early value engineering and coordinated planning, ensuring projects meet both functional requirements and budget constraints with single-source accountability.
General Contracting
We offer full-spectrum general contracting services with in-house expertise in carpentry, concrete work, and site development. Our self-performance capabilities across 12+ trades reduce subcontractor dependencies while maintaining quality control. With 125+ combined years of field experience, our teams deliver complex projects ranging from healthcare facilities to industrial plants with integrated safety protocols embedded in every construction phase.
Pre-construction
Our pre-construction services establish project foundations through detailed cost analysis, scheduling, and constructability reviews. We develop LEED-compliant plans and coordinate subcontractor bids while implementing value engineering to optimize budgets. Using building information modeling, we identify potential conflicts early and create precise project roadmaps that reduce change orders by 25% through proactive planning.
Prefabrication
Smith Construction's prefabrication services enhance efficiency through off-site component manufacturing. We produce concrete assemblies, bathroom pods, and mechanical systems in controlled environments before site installation. This approach reduces on-site labor by 40% while improving quality through repeatable processes. Our dedicated prefab teams manage over 500 modular components annually across healthcare and commercial projects.

Report
Took $15000 from me and failed to build anything. Promised to start next week multiple times which were apparently put off for over a year. They are not trustworthy in my opinion. I would not recommend Ed Smith to anyone. I made an attempt to settle our dispute and he disconnected his phone.
