Site review through turnover, one accountable scope
Construction services built around certainty, from site review to turnover
AP plans, prices, and builds commercial and light-industrial facilities so owners know what they are building, what it should cost, and when it will operate.
- Preconstruction that resolves scope, cost, and schedule before the field
- Accountable construction management through turnover
- One coordinated path for design-build and build-to-suit
Where AP fits in your project
Most of the certainty in a commercial or industrial project is created before anyone mobilizes: complete documents, an estimate built on real quantities, long-lead items ordered on time, and a permit path mapped in advance. That is where AP puts its effort.
AP is built to take that uncertainty out early. Our services follow the life of a project, from the first look at a site through the day the facility opens, and they are designed to be engaged separately or as one accountable scope. Every one of them runs on the same stack: Procore as the project record, BuildingConnected for bidding, and AI applied in preconstruction to catch what a manual pass misses.
Supporting capabilities such as estimating, value engineering, permitting coordination, site and civil coordination, procurement, scheduling, and turnover live inside these four services rather than as separate line items.
Core services
Six services, one accountable scope
Preconstruction
Document and site review, estimating, bid leveling in BuildingConnected, constructability review, value engineering, and long-lead planning before anything is committed in the field.
Construction Management
An accountable Project Manager, Superintendent, and Project Coordinator team running the master schedule, three-week look-aheads, trade coordination, safety, and turnover.
Design-Build & Build-to-Suit
One coordinated path from operational requirements through design, budget, permitting, procurement, construction, and an operating facility, with AP accountable for the whole.
Development Consulting
Feasibility, entitlement and zoning coordination, conceptual budgeting, site and civil coordination, and permitting strategy for owners evaluating a site before they commit.
General Contracting
AP as the commercial general contractor of record: one contract, the trade contracts held by AP, and one team accountable for schedule, cost, safety, quality, and closeout.
Program Management & Rollouts
One preconstruction and delivery system applied across repeat branches, stores, and facilities, so every location benefits from the last and the program opens on schedule.
Engagement models
How AP contracts with owners
As general contractor
AP contracts directly with the owner, holds the trade contracts, and is accountable for schedule, cost, safety, and quality. This is how most of our completed work has been delivered.
As construction manager
AP leads preconstruction and then manages construction on the owner’s behalf, with open pricing, bid leveling in BuildingConnected, and a project team the owner can see and reach.
As design-builder
AP holds one contract for design and construction, brings licensed architects and engineers onto the team, and carries the coordination between them so the owner has one point of accountability.
For multi-site programs
For owners with repeat facilities, branches, or rebrands, AP applies the same preconstruction and delivery system across locations so each one benefits from the last. Program management and rollouts has its own page.
Lifecycle
One delivery system from site to operation
01
Assess
Site, documents, jurisdiction, and program reviewed for fit, feasibility, and the risks that will shape the budget.
02
Preconstruct
Estimating, bid leveling, constructability and scope-gap review, value engineering, and long-lead planning.
03
Build
A Project Manager, Superintendent, and Project Coordinator run the master schedule and three-week look-aheads.
04
Turn over
Inspections, commissioning coordination, closeout, and a facility that is ready to operate on the date it was planned for.
Questions owners ask about AP’s services
How early should AP get involved in a project?
As early as the site or the program exists. The largest cost and schedule decisions are made before drawings are complete, so a preconstruction review at concept stage gives you a budget, a schedule, and a risk list while you can still act on them.
Does AP work as a general contractor or a construction manager?
Both. AP contracts directly as a commercial general contractor and also delivers projects as construction manager or design-builder. The engagement model follows how you want to hold risk, control design, and buy the work. We recommend one during preconstruction.
Can AP handle design-build and build-to-suit projects?
Yes. On design-build and build-to-suit work AP holds the coordination role from requirements through turnover and brings licensed architects and engineers into one team, so design, budget, constructability, and procurement decisions are made together.
What does AP do about permitting and site work?
AP coordinates permitting and entitlement with the jurisdiction and with the civil engineers, environmental consultants, and other licensed partners who perform that work. We plan the approvals into the schedule so mobilization starts on the date the plan says.
What size and type of project fits AP best?
Ground-up and major build-out projects for warehouses, distribution centers, truck and fleet facilities, light industrial and manufacturing buildings, bank branches, and substantial workplace projects. AP focuses on ground-up and major build-out work in these markets.
How do I request a proposal or a preliminary review?
Use the project inquiry form or call the Houston office. Tell us the site, the facility type, the size, and the date you need to be operating. We will come back with the questions we need answered before we can give you a useful number.
What technology does AP run projects on?
Procore is the project record on every AP job, holding drawings, RFIs, submittals, schedules, daily logs, and photos the owner can open. Trades bid through BuildingConnected against one scope. In preconstruction AP applies AI to document review, quantity takeoff checks, and schedule analysis.
Have a site, a program, or a set of plans?
Send them over. A preconstruction review tells you what you are building, what it should cost, and where the risks are.
