Preconstruction & Design
During the preconstruction and design phases of a project, GDK works with the architects, engineers, and other professionals as an advocate for the owner. We provide Value Engineering recommendations where we review the design to ensure that you can stay on budget, all while utilizing the best and most cost-effective ways to build. Our in-house estimating team utilizes past project history and current market values to assemble your project budget. Project take-offs are completed using the On-Screen TakeOff software, allowing for quick and accurate numbers. We can also tap into our Real Estate development experience with Geenen DeKock Properties to evaluate site layout, utilities and site improvement costs such as grading and parking. It is important to consider the best use and layout of a site when making an investment in a building.
Throughout the many years of experience in the construction industry, GDK has developed strong relationships with numerous trade contractors. The Preconstruction and Design team utilizes these relationships with trade contractors to help you determine the scope of your project and draft up preconstruction budgets.
Construction Management
Construction Management is typically a fee-based service in which GDK Construction, acting the construction manager (CM), is responsible exclusively to the owner and acts in the owner’s interests at every stage of the project. In most CM projects, the owner hires the construction manager first. The construction manager offers unbiased advice, on matters such as:
- Budgeting
- Project Scheduling
- Trade Contractor Bid Solicitation
- Site Supervision
- Quality Control
- Cash Flow Management
- Site Safety
- Constructability & Building Systems
- Overall Building Construction
As construction manager, GDK will work with you throughout the entire design and construction process. We utilize Procore software to to assist in project organization, communication, and documentation. All parties will have access to their project in Procore, which allows for a streamlined process and maintains a great communication link. Learn more about Procore here.

A variety of programs including AutoCAD and SketchUp are utilized to make your vision a reality.
Green Construction
Green building, also known as sustainable or high-performance building, is the practice of creating structures and using processes that are environmentally responsible. These projects are also resource-efficient throughout a building’s life cycle from siting to design, construction, operation, maintenance, renovation and deconstruction. This practice expands and complements the classical building design concerns of economy, utility, durability, and comfort.
Green buildings are designed to reduce the overall impact of the built environment on human health and the natural environment by:
- Efficiently using energy, water, and other resources
- Protecting occupant health and improving employee productivity
- Reducing waste, pollution and environmental degradation
For example, green buildings may incorporate sustainable materials in their construction (e.g., reused, recycled-content, or made from renewable resources); create healthy indoor environments with minimal pollutants (e.g., reduced product emissions); and/or feature landscaping that reduces water usage (e.g., by using native plants that survive without extra watering).
