The McCutcheon Difference

Experience

Senior construction managers, professional project coordinators, finance staff, experienced and trained field staff, and in-house design support services work efficiently together to bring the latest and most informed ideas to each project. Using our extensive experience and the latest in industry training, we seamlessly integrate best practices into every project phase.

Collaboration

We collaborate with clients early in the project, along with their designers and architects, to develop the final plan and use our construction and administrative experience to uncover opportunities, suggest alternatives that may better meet the client’s goals, and optimize the balance between the vision, cost and schedule of each project. 

Transparency

Pre-construction development, progress billing invoices, and change order management are all designed to give clients comprehensive insight into the administration of their projects. This facilitates early identification and resolution of questions or issues, to keep the project on a successful path.

Commitment

Our mission of building healthy, beautiful and enduring projects extends to the ongoing support of our clients and their homes. Our long term success is in great part thanks to the enduring relationships we have established with our clients and our professional partners.
