The gap between a commercial project that meets expectations and one that exceeds them is not luck. It is process, people, and an unwavering commitment to excellence at every stage of the project lifecycle.
At SYNCON, we have spent over 15 years refining the processes and building the team that consistently delivers commercial projects our clients are proud of, from the first design conversation to the day they hand the keys to their tenants.
Phase 1: Pre-Construction – Where Excellence Begins
The most important work on any commercial project happens before a single piece of equipment arrives on site. Our pre-construction process is designed to eliminate surprises, optimize value, and set the project up for success from day one.
Comprehensive Budgeting and Cost Analysis
We develop detailed, transparent budgets that give our clients a clear picture of project costs, not just the number they want to hear. Our estimating team draws on 15+ years of regional cost data to provide accurate, defensible budgets that hold up throughout the project.
Schedule Development and Critical Path Analysis
Every commercial project has a critical path, the sequence of activities that determines the project completion date. We identify and actively manage the critical path from day one, building schedule contingency where appropriate and proactively addressing potential delays before they impact the timeline.
Value Engineering
Our pre-construction team works collaboratively with designers and owners to identify opportunities to achieve the project’s design intent at lower cost, without compromising quality or functionality. This process typically identifies savings of 10-20% on material and system costs.
Phase 2: Construction – Precision Execution
With a solid pre-construction foundation in place, our field teams execute with the military precision that defines SYNCON’s culture.
Daily Progress Monitoring and Reporting
Our project managers provide clients with regular progress updates, not just when things are going well, but especially when challenges arise. Proactive communication is a non-negotiable standard at SYNCON.
Quality Control at Every Stage
Our quality control program includes systematic inspection checkpoints at every critical stage of construction. We do not wait for the final inspection to identify quality issues, we catch and correct them in real time.
Subcontractor Management
Our network of 100+ trade partners represents the best subcontractors in the region. We select subcontractors based on quality, safety record, and cultural fit, and we hold them to the same standards we hold ourselves.
Phase 3: Closeout – Setting You Up for Long-Term Success
The final phase of a commercial project is often where contractors fall short. At SYNCON, we treat project closeout with the same rigor and attention to detail as every other phase.
Comprehensive Punch List Management
We do not consider a project complete until every item on the punch list has been addressed to the client’s satisfaction, no exceptions.
As-Built Documentation and BIM Delivery
We deliver complete as-built documentation and BIM models that give facility managers the information they need to operate and maintain the building effectively for years to come.
Warranty Support
Our commitment to our clients does not end at substantial completion. We stand behind our work and respond promptly to warranty issues, because our reputation depends on it.
The Result: Commercial Projects Worth Being Proud Of
When you work with SYNCON, you get more than a contractor. You get a partner who is as invested in the success of your project as you are, from the first design meeting to the grand opening and beyond.
