Delivering Facilities That Companies Can Rely On

Harper partners with end-users, brokers, and developers to deliver carefully planned and expertly constructed industrial facilities that support modern operational and tenant needs. We cover a variety of project types, including large-scale tilt wall shells, build-to-suits, and complex interior upgrades. Our team sets itself apart by relying on proven procurement methods, including Hard-Bid, Design-Build, and Construction Manager At-Risk (CM At-Risk) methods, and providing a comprehensive plan to best deliver each facility.

We plan every project with the priorities of each stakeholder in mind: owners who need reliable, efficient operations; brokers who depend on marketable, lease-ready products; and developers who expect cost certainty and schedule efficiency. Our approach balances constructability, cost, client value, and speed to market, while delivering value throughout the construction process, so every project achieves its specific Industrial goals. We focus on safety, quality, and effective communication to ensure every facility is delivered on time and on budget for long-term operational success.

What clients, brokers, and developers can expect when partnering with us:

Proven expertise from concept to completion.
Transparent reporting that drives cost certainty and schedule efficiency.
Proactive risk mitigation and constructability input
Single point of accountability from preconstruction through turnover
Procurement expertise utilizing a trusted trade partner network

Preconstruction Approach

Smarter Starts Through Meticulous Planning

Our goal at Harper is to establish client-centric relationships at the earliest stage of the project possible, whether the project is Design-Build or involves working alongside the client’s chosen design team. Harper has the experience, historical data, and advanced technology integration to provide our clients with proven, reliable preconstruction services. Our process is as follows:

Feasibility Study – Utilizing our current database, we offer our clients a quick feasibility study to help them understand the project’s health, constraints, and potential outcomes.
Schematic Design Budget – Based on a Schematic Design, our preconstruction team can seek trade partner pricing to tighten up the accuracy of the budget before our client commits to the full design cost. Depending on the ever-fluctuating supply chain, we can also commit to early release packages after this budget round to ensure pricing and schedule adherence.
Final Pricing – As the final plans are completed, we will obtain final pricing to confirm the Schematic Design Budget, get to contract, and get to work.

CONSTRUCTION APPROACH

Our construction approach has fostered many repeat projects and long-lasting partnerships. We take pride in our jobsite safety and in using the latest technology to drive precision, execution excellence, and operational efficiency. Our award-winning tilt-up projects (2023 Tilt Up Achievement Award – Bridgeway Station Block A, 2024 Tilt-Up Achievement Award – Renfrow Industrial) demonstrate our ability to create durable, adaptable buildings that meet modern industrial needs and help owners gain a competitive advantage.
