Summary of Services
By redefining and re-bundling traditional services, Beck delivers a
service or an entire project - approvals, planning, programming,
construction, procurement, and commissioning. You gain
confidence knowing we are one team, integrating our services
and our decisions to add value for your project. On any project, a
team can be created to exactly meet the needs of the client and
the project conditions.
Integrated Services
In addition to standard services outlined above, the Beck Group
can provide a fully integrated team with a single point of client
contact, to handle all aspects of a major project. this approach is
a leap beyond the contractual arrangement between an architect
and a contractor for a design/build team. With the construction
expertise as a part of the design team and architectural
experience applied all the way through pricing, scheduling, and
construction, we will solve many of the problems that slow or
complicate construction projects in today’s market.
The advantages of a fully integrated team include:

A better understanding of the client’s major concerns, all the
way through the project.
A single point of contact for all issues.
Better pricing information early in the process.
No concerns for the client with coordination issues between
design team and contractor.
Maximum ability to solve delays and cost problems caused
by long-lead items.
A reduction in time of the entire design/construction process.
A higher quality product, built more specifically to the client’s
needs.
The totally integrated approach offers the ultimate coordination of
skills and information to provide maximum efficiency of project
delivery to the client.
Construction Management
and Construction Services
If a project requires services for Construction Management to
work with a pre-selected General Contractor, Beck can provide
the coordination to relieve the client of dedicating personnel to
that task.
As a General Contractor, Beck’s reputation for quality
construction projects is unsurpassed. We know the construction
process can only be successful if the process is a wellorchestrated series of events. During the construction phase, we
will direct all of the construction activities by first planning and
then executing the plan. Our 96-year history also allows us to
take advantage of our great subcontractor relationships.
Our job doesn’t end after construction. We provide a wide range
of post-construction services from facilities training to our unique
11-month walk-through.
Beck performs an 11-month walk-through on every construction
project completed. What this entails is the Beck project manager
coming back to your facility 11 months after construction is
completed. He will walk the site with you to go over anything you
are unsure about or any warranty items that need to be
addressed before they expire. Should any items need attention,
the project manager will coordinate the work before the
warranties expire. We are dedicated to exceeding your
expectations.

term relationships with selected customers. This impacts the way
we think, the way we are organized and the way we work.

and accountability for our work, with success measured against
stated goals and objectives. This accounts for our high repeat

Teamwork
Building a foundation of trust and rapport is critical in establishing
a team relationship. Nothing builds rapport and trust faster than
performance -- doing what you say you will do. This is a guiding
principle in our every action. It does not start the day we sign a
contract. It begins with the initial conversation with a customer
and carries forward as the relationship and project develop.
Teamwork moves the project forward in a focused direction. It
organizes and increases the efficiency of the delivery process
which allows individuals to plan and schedule; not simply react.
As a company, and as a key participant on a customer's team,
we realize that the value of the combined effort exceeds that
derived from the sum of the individual strengths alone. Only
through working as a team can we achieve the high standards
which our culture demands.
Innovation
Beck seeks to identify every opportunity to promote efficiency
and minimize costs.
As a member of the team, Beck helps determine the most costefficient techniques and operating systems. The team thoroughly
studies the project's preliminary documents with an eye toward
"project buildability". We apply our knowledge and skills to
engineer the greatest possible value into the final design on
behalf of the owner.
Quality Assurance
Beck believes that quality is 95% attitude, and that with proper
training and planning, employees and craftsmen will perform
quality work.
Our Quality Assurance Program (QAP) focuses on every major
quality check point in the construction process. Our QAP
incorporates a Monitoring and Control System into every job. This
system is used to determine our success in achieving our goal - to complete each job right the first time and conformance with
contract requirements.
Our QAP is an integral part of the "Pursuit of Excellence"
philosophy that has long been our successful foundation in
serving our growing list of satisfied customers.
