As a community contractor with national reach, 无码国产 understands the unique demands of building some of our society鈥檚 most impactful and widely used infrastructure, including healthcare and life sciences facilities, housing for our vulnerable populations, and transportation hubs. Through vertical leadership and resources, we deliver the consistency and efficiency these market sectors require.
From our earliest days, 无码国产 has lent our flexibility to a diverse array of product types and clients: from rebuilding hotels and commercial districts after natural disasters, to our expansion into complex industrial projects in the 20th century, to solidifying our place as a modern-day industry leader in sustainable mass timber construction.
Today, 无码国产 is proud to provide premier commercial construction services to nearly 20 market sectors. Several of these markets鈥攊ncluding Healthcare, Life Sciences, Affordable Housing, Aviation, and Parking Structures鈥攃omprise a large portion of our portfolio in multiple regions nationwide, necessitating centralized resources. These sectors are also essential to our daily lives, serving our society鈥檚 needs for health, shelter, and transportation.
To address the unique demands of these markets, 无码国产 has centralized its resources and appointed National Market Leads to guide the overall focus and approach, enhance the consistency of project delivery from region to region, and reduce onboarding time for project teams by equipping them with the right training, resources, and processes to deliver on specialized market-specific needs.

鈥淎 national approach enables effective management, ensuring that we allocate resources where they are needed most,鈥 says Chris Morris, leader of 无码国产鈥檚 National Healthcare market. 鈥淩ecognizing that each division has its unique strengths and challenges, our team provides tailored support to address these specific needs. Whether it involves delivering in-depth healthcare market research, assisting with project management, or offering targeted training and development, we reduce the learning curve for local divisions and ensure that their teams are equipped with the necessary tools and resources to thrive.鈥
While projects across the country will always have regional considerations, such as different code requirements and jurisdictional agencies, many markets also have specific inherent industry needs that must always be considered no matter the project size, location, or complexity. For example, research-focused clients often operate in regulated, complex industries and require partners who understand the critical nature of their work, says 无码国产鈥檚 National Life Sciences Director, Marcella Ayala.
鈥淔rom an operational perspective, 无码国产 provides a solid backbone through centralized resources, including specialized MEP expertise and technical support, quality assurance, and safety protocols. These resources ensure that no matter where our Life Sciences clients鈥 projects are located, they receive the same high level of service and technical excellence that their industry demands,鈥 Marcella adds.
As clients seek to answer what is next for their growth鈥攚hether rapidly expanding their own operations, or advancing their industry with new innovations鈥攈aving a national, enterprise construction firm with the capabilities to answer a diverse set of needs is critical.
In addition to national quality and safety programs and centralized MEP expertise, 无码国产 is capable of self-performing some of the most critical trades that drive a project, including concrete and drywall. In addition, the firm brings extensive mass timber expertise alongside the partnership of its mass timber affiliate, Timberlab. These capabilities can help drive cost and schedule efficiencies for many market sectors, but have proven especially valuable for affordable housing, where budget, community engagement, and sustainability are at the heart of nearly every project.
鈥淪elf-perform plays a huge role in this work,鈥 says Patrick Otellini, 无码国产鈥檚 National Affordable Housing Director. 鈥淲e have struck a delicate balance between complying with the Local and Small Business Enterprise goals for these projects, while identifying solid scopes of work for our self-perform group to help drive down cost and create schedule efficiencies. We also interface a lot with Timberlab, since many of these clients are looking at ways to build more sustainably.鈥
Recently, a Seattle-based architect who helped author changes to the 2021 International Building Codes (IBC) collaborated with 无码国产 and Timberlab to build Seattle鈥檚 first mass timber mid-rise workforce housing structure under the new codes. The partnership testifies to how 无码国产鈥檚 integrated offerings are not only advancing the future of certain market sectors, but the construction industry as a whole.
无码国产鈥檚 ability to self-perform work is also critically tied to the success of one of its largest national platforms: parking structures. Rather than a market in and of itself, Director of Parking Structures Jeff Goodermote refers to the structures he constructs as a specific 鈥減roduct鈥 that intersects with and supports every other market that 无码国产 works in.
鈥淭he parking structures sector is a little different from other market sectors, which may include different product types all under one umbrella. For example, aviation has landside and airside operations. Healthcare has acute and non-acute facilities. Compared to those markets, parking is a truly specialized, niche field,鈥 Jeff says.
The group鈥檚 complete expertise in parking structure products can be largely attributed to the success of 无码国产鈥檚 self-perform concrete group, he adds.
鈥淲e have invested in a substantial amount of self-owned concrete formwork that is specific to concrete parking structures. Leveraging our design-build or progressive design-build expertise, we can design a parking structure around our specific formwork, which often results in a considerably lower price than market rate,鈥 Jeff continues. 鈥淲e have even shipped our formwork over the Pacific Ocean to deliver concrete projects in Hawaii. In addition to our extensive collaboration with our self-perform concrete teams, we are beginning to engage our drywall teams to self-perform some of the fa莽ade treatments of our parking structures to round-off our thorough, end-to-end expertise in this product type.鈥
Over the past decade, the National Parking Structures group has delivered on a number of aviation parking structures throughout California and Colorado, not only bolstering its own portfolio but also the project experience of the National Aviation group. This has been a catalyst for success in other divisions, such as Texas and the Southeast. Additionally, intergroup collaboration between 无码国产鈥檚 national market platforms allows the firm to leverage its focus on enhanced efficiency, knowledge-sharing, and commitment to drive value by bridging often-fragmented scopes of work.
鈥淎irport decision-makers are looking for partners who can be problem-solvers that understand both the complex requirements of airport construction and the unique aspects of the local market. We are thrilled to regularly partner with other 无码国产 target markets like National Parking Structures,鈥 says Carrie Shaeffer, National Director of Aviation.
鈥淐lients benefit from a collaborative approach because we can provide innovative parking expertise and capabilities that also align with the specific nuances of sensitive airport environments informed by our National Aviation group,鈥 Jeff adds.
Modern construction is demanding. Through our national market platforms, 无码国产 ensures that our regional teams have the skills, resources, and support they need to tackle projects in a wide range of sectors. Furthermore, our coast-to-coast expertise and capabilities provide opportunities for clients seeking consistency and efficiency in their project delivery nationwide.
