“We made a critical decision to change construction companies during the Pre-Construction phase of a project. We were challenged to deliver a project within a tight timeline for a new lab in an existing office building. Buildout Construction met the challenge with COVID restrictions, hottest summer conditions, building space challenges and supply chain sourcing issues. They delivered to the aggressive schedule and completed the project within budget. It was rewarding to see the level of commitment and coordination from all the subcontractors. We continued to use Buildout Construction for two additional critical timeline projects that exceeded all of the expectations.”

“To anyone looking for a great General Contractor:
I have worked with Buildout for more than 20 years on a broad range of projects. In all of them I have found them to be thorough, detail-oriented, and superior in almost every respect to other builders I have worked with. They have great relationships with a number of key subcontractors like Century glass who work seamlessly with them. They provide detailed estimates before beginning jobs which they stand firmly behind. They have very few change orders, and in my experience we have always been able to work as a team through any issues which may arise in the field due to unknown conditions.
Projects they have building which I designed include a refined build-out of 25,000 SF on two floors for F-Squared with dozens of glass fronted offices and wood paneling, the transformation of a 30,000 SF factory and headquarters for Dielectric Sciences in Chelmsford with new exterior glass and metal elements, and a renovated 2-story lobby with stone slab walls and floors, linear LED lighting, and glass handrails, in addition to dozens of conventional office fit-ups. In all of them, Buildout has performed admirably. I work with many other reputable contractors, and by the end of the project for a variety of reasons, I often find myself wishing that Buildout had been the GC.
There are a number of reasons for their superior performance: One is that the project supervisors are all hands-on. They have all been with Buildout for many years, and are held responsible for the schedule and quality of the job. They each take the work seriously and are fully involved. Another is that Buildout self-performs many trades. This means that coordination and timing is largely a matter of in-house management, not waiting for sub-contractors with other priorities. Another is that they have a number of real craftsmen on staff who can solve unusual conditions and develop refined details and finishes which can often be an unmanageable challenge for GC’s who rely solely on subcontractors. All of these qualities lead to tighter schedules, and better performance than many GC’s who tout their skills as construction managers.
One rare feature of Buildout is because the different trades are all part of the same company, they seems to work as a team, with each trade taking responsibility for the success of the whole project. All of this leads to more coordinated work with tighter schedules and less need for overhead management and associated costs, which usually leads to better value for each construction dollar.
I always find it a pleasure to work with Buildout, with their can-do approach to every project, no matter how complex or refined the design and for the superior appearance of the completed projects. I have often brought them successfully to clients with projects that have tight budgets and schedules, and require care and attention to detail.”

“Davis has enjoyed a twenty+ year relationship with Buildout. They have become more than a service provider, they've become our partner. Project after project, we know we can count on Buildout to provide exceptional conceptual budgets to help us get deals done. They then execute on those budgets and schedules that we promise our tenants with exceptional quality. It is also extremely comforting to know that whenever I call, I get ownership level attention. From small to complex, Buildout treats every request with urgency and customer focus. They are a true pleasure to work with.”

“Our experience working with Buildout Construction over the years has been excellent. Buildout’s project management and leadership skills are stellar.
Buildout has been an integral part of the team for every project that we have been involved in with them. Their ability to anticipate and resolve construction coordination issues through their open communication with the entire design/construction team is far above that of the larger general contractors we have been involved with.
The entire team tactfully delivers a project of exceptional quality while staying on schedule and under budget. “They have and continue to constantly strive for quality in their work and put thought into every step of the construction process.
We look forward to having a continued relationship with Buildout Construction”
