Multi-Family Housing is All We Do
Lockwood's proven ability to complete projects on time and under budget is a
result of our specialization in multi-family housing, one-stop-shop strengths
and project management skills.
In many circumstances, under a variety of tough conditions,
such as building on filled or urban renewal sites and
working within tight budgets, we were asked to rescue
projects that other firms were unable or unwilling to
take on. We successfully completed those projects, as
well as all others, because our skilled, dedicated personnel
accomplish every phase of planning, project management
and construction.
Our capability will make a real difference to you, because
through it we have created the greatest value for all
our customers. We identify alternatives that cut costs
while working in the complicated environment of government
entities, including U.S. Housing and Urban Development
(HUD), Rural Development, and Michigan State Housing Development
Authority (MSHDA).
Operating in this environment requires specialized knowledge
of procedures, creating affirmative action plans, assuring
payment of required wages and benefits, achieving goals
for minority-owned and female-owned subcontractors and
monitoring subcontractors to make sure all objectives
and procedural requirements are met. We are successful
in this environment because multi-family housing is all
we do.
We Wear the Owner's Hat
Lockwood Construction's ownership perspective is another
valuable attribute we bring to our customers' projects.
Consider our innovative Architect's Resource Program,
for example. Through it we provide to the architect the
latest but time tested specifications we have found most
effective through our experience. We also provide accurate
early cost estimates which owners can rely upon in processing
their development.
Later, we build on this process by helping your architect
review construction procedures, ensuring they are optimum
to maximize value. Years of field experience - the-dirt-under-the-fingernails-experience
- that our senior managers all share, saves dollars for
our customers by helping the architect avoid costly changes
to construction plans.
And, our system works. In fact on average we have been
able to keep project change order totals to less than 2% of
the original contract cost. In addition, where changes
and surprises occur, we find savings in other areas to
offset these additional costs.
Our Proven Performance
is Your Peace of Mind
Perhaps the most important strength we bring to your
project is the peace of mind you will have by selecting
us as a team member at the beginning of your project.
Our proven performance and financial strength, along with
our unique understanding of multi-family construction
and government agencies, will give you the peace of mind
you deserve.
