The Convenience of Choosing a Design Build Organization

Oct 26

Designing and building a structure from the beginning takes a lot of effort. Each step requires serious attention to detail and the forethought to predict and solve any problems that may occur in the next step. If you haven’t already, considering a design build construction firm, like the professionals here at Schroeder, can drastically cut down on the time it takes to complete an already lengthy process.

No Miscommunication

A design build construction organization works by keeping all aspects of the process, including both designing the building and constructing it, inhouse. It allows people within the organization to collaborate and decide the best course of action. By going with a design firm and build company separately, you open the doors for miscommunication or mistakes. These can set back your timeline and even increase how much the project will cost you.

Fewer “Go Betweens”

On the same token, streamlining the process to one company minimizes the number of people involved. You eliminate the “too many cooks in the kitchen” dilemma and can focus on the opinions and ideas of those who know the project best. Also, you won’t have to go back and forth between different points of contact to get a question answered. By choosing a firm that does it all, you’ll only ever have to make one call to receive updates and information on the progress of your property.

Jack of All Trades

Here at Schroeder, our design build teams are curated groups of individuals who each have a specialty. That means that during each step of the process, you’ll have an expert available to recognize any potential problems and to suggest solutions. If you address each step individually, you might find yourself back at square one if something goes wrong. For example, the floorplan you designed may create a problem when it comes to installing electrical, and you don’t notice until the property build is well underway. By choosing a firm that does it all, we can address this problem before it becomes an issue.

Choosing a design build construction organization like the professionals here at Schroeder can streamline the process of building a new property for you. We’ll meticulously plan each detail to make sure the space will work perfectly for your needs. For more information or to speak with a design build specialist, call 603-882-1822.

Why Choose Metal Buildings?

Sep 26

If you’re in the market for a new commercial building, there’s no doubt you’ve been bombarded with decisions lately. Where are you going to build? How much square footage do you need? What kind of material is it going to be? Here at Schroeder Construction, we want to help you make the most informed choices and create a property that’s conducive to your needs. We specialize in commercial construction, especially metal buildings, and we can help decide if it’s for you.

Easy to Maintain

Metal buildings are popular for commercial use due to their ability to retain temperature. Whether you need to keep the building hot or cold, the temperature is less likely to falter with the weather outside. They are great at retaining heat, which means cost savings for you when it comes to utility costs. Better yet, your energy savings could be so significant that the government rewards you with a tax break for being so environmentally friendly!

Quick Build

Choosing metal over other materials can also translate to cost savings when it comes to building costs. They are easier and faster to build than traditional builds, so you won’t have to experience significant downtime or high labor costs. The pieces of metal are prefabricated to fit together, so they only need to be put together like a puzzle on site.

Customizable & Durable

Another perk of using metal buildings compared to other building materials is how customizable it is. People immediately think about steel sheds or barns, the design of a metal building is almost entirely up to you. From skylights and windows to exterior covers to make the property look brick, you can get whatever look you want in your new metal building.

Technology today has come a long way when it comes to construction processes and building materials. Metal buildings can be used for a variety of uses, is it right for you? Call 603-882-1822 to speak with a professional here at Schroeder Construction.

Keeping Safe During Commercial Building

May 26

At Schroeder Construction Management, we take safety extremely seriously. With so much potential for disaster when it comes to construction, it’s important to us to that our staff is well versed in all safety protocol, and always has access to appropriate safety equipment. With an accident rate of almost 0, our commercial building services are some of the safest you can find in Southern New Hampshire.

Accident Statistics

In 2014, OSHA reported that one in ten construction workers are injured each year. Additionally, it’s estimated that on any given day, nearly 6,500,000 people work at 252,000 construction sites on any given day. To prevent contributing to this one in ten statistic, we give our employees some of the highest safety training available. A number of our staff are OSHA 30 certified, and we also carry an ISN rating of a B.

How to Stay Safe?

In addition to receiving an above average amount of safety training, we provide our employees with the proper equipment to maintain a safe environment. This includes, but is not limited to, flashlights, hard hats, neon vests, safety glasses, and ear protection. Falls have been proven to be the biggest cause of fatal construction injuries. Employing equipment such as harnesses, anchors, and guard rails minimizes the risk of a fall.

Experience Modification Rate

An Experience Modification Rate, or EMR, is an insurance rating that is used to determine workers’ compensation premiums for businesses. This is determined by the industry we are in (commercial building), as well as how many OSHA recordables are on file for a given year. If a company has an EMR of 1.0, they pay the industry average. Here at Schroeder Construction Management, we are proud of our 0.79 EMR, meaning we have below average OSHA recordables when compared to other construction firms.

We understand our staff are people with families and lives outside of the construction site, and we work hard to make sure they stay safe while on the job. We strive for perfection when it comes to safety, and every project that is completed without incident is a win in our book.

Checklist for Commercial Construction

Mar 26

You’ve made your mind up, and it’s time to get that construction project underway. You’re probably very excited to get started, so it’s easy to develop tunnel vision and forget about the smaller details. Before you begin your commercial construction project completed, make sure you go through this checklist and reassure that everything is ready to go.

A Budget

It’s important to consider your budget when undertaking any project, but large commercial construction price tags can easily climb higher and higher if you’re not careful. The professionals at Schroeder will work with you and your team to make sure we meet all of your criteria while staying within your budget.

Supplies

It’s almost impossible to imagine all of the resources that go into building a commercial structure. Concrete, wood, insulation, pipes…the list goes on. Be sure to consider all of the supplies, including time, human resources, and materials, before you break ground.

Find the Right Management Company

That’s where we come in! Schroeder Construction Management, Inc. is happy to help you manage your construction project from its early planning stages to completion. Finding the best company to handle your needs makes all of the difference.

Check Weather

If the project is outdoors, you need to make sure the weather is appropriate for it. Especially in New England, weather can change on a dime, and the different seasons present various challenges. Make sure you create a reasonable timeline that takes into account weather-related pauses in production.

Space

Arguably the most important thing you need is space. Without the land, you can’t build a large enough commercial space to be successful – you don’t want to be cramped! Clear out the area, set aside any other supplies, and account for every inch.

Bear these items in mind, and your commercial construction project will be a snap. For all of the management you need to succeed, give Schroeder Construction Management, Inc. a call at (603)-882-1822!

Nashua’s Historic Hunt Memorial Building Renovation Nears Completion

Jan 16

At Schroeder Construction Management Inc., we have been honored to work on renovating Nashua’s Hunt Memorial Building. As a construction management company highly inspired by some of the more classic forms of architecture, the fact that we have been selected by The Aldermanic Finance Committee to help restore such an exceptional example of the Gothic-Romantic style of architecture has us all enthralled. We also commend the people of Nashua for opting to keep the Hunt Memorial Building amidst talks of possibly selling it. It goes without saying that the Hunt Memorial Building is one that should not be merely sold or allowed to wither away. Built in 1903, the Hunt Memorial Building stands as a testament to, not only great architecture, but to the pioneering spirit of our nation’s past.

In fact, in an article written by Kimberly Houghton and published in the Union Leader entitled, “Work on Nashua’s Hunt Memorial Building Nears Completion,” the author states that, “Earlier this month, the committee authorized Schroeder Construction Management Inc. to complete the last phase of the work to eliminate water infiltration surrounding the masonry and flashing. The same firm has performed other improvements to the building as well.”

Historical Significance

We have taken on this project with fervor unlike most construction companies because of our passion for the architectural and historical significance of the Hunt Memorial Building. It truly is one of the finest examples of a more modern take on the classic Gothic-Romantic architecture prevalent throughout Europe in the 18^th and 19^th centuries. This style of architecture is most commonly associated with tall, narrow buildings adorned with long, pointed windows, and is usually considered to be utilized for churches. However, some of the best examples of this style of architecture later became defined as more square or rectangular buildings. And the Nashua Hunt Memorial Building is a perfect example of that definition.

It is with humble graciousness that we have been able to work on this truly unique piece of American history and architecture. And we hope to keep the Nashua Hunt Memorial Building as beautiful now as it was over a hundred years ago.
