WHAT WE CAN DO FOR YOU
Our diverse areas of expertise are designed to fit the changing needs of your project.
At Prime General Contractors, we deliver high-quality commercial construction across the Twin Cities and five state area — including remodels, building additions, and ground-up projects. We partner closely with owners and design teams from the earliest stages, diving deep into every project detail to optimize constructability, control costs, and reduce risk. Our collaborative approach ensures your vision becomes reality on time, on budget, and with exceptional quality.
01.
PRECONSTRUCTION PLANNING
We engage early with you and your design team to conduct thorough constructability reviews. By diving deep into the details of plans, specifications, and project goals, we identify practical improvements in systems, methods, and materials that reflect real-world subcontracting practices.
This collaborative effort reduces subcontractor pricing, minimizes change orders, and enhances overall quality — giving you greater certainty and fewer surprises before construction begins.
02.
ESTIMATING & BUDGET DEVELOPMENT
Working side-by-side with ownership and the architectural team, we develop accurate budgets based on detailed project understanding, current market data, and subcontractor input. We explore design alternatives and value engineering to align the scope with your financial and operational objectives.
Early collaboration like this provides clear cost visibility, prevents redesign expenses, and keeps your project on a strong financial foundation.
03.
GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE (GMP) CONTRACTS
For projects requiring speed or evolving designs, our Guaranteed Maximum Price contracts deliver cost certainty within a defined scope. We lead collaborative GMP teams, applying our detailed constructability insights to control costs, manage scope changes, and uncover value-engineering opportunities from the start.
This approach minimizes financial risk while maintaining flexibility and quality throughout fast-track delivery.
04.
GENERAL CONTRACTING & CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT
As your general contractor or construction manager, we provide proactive leadership with seamless communication and forward-thinking planning. We maintain rigorous oversight of budget, schedule, and quality while anticipating and resolving issues quickly.
Our hands-on involvement reduces unnecessary financial exposure and keeps your project moving smoothly toward successful completion.
05.
PROJECT CLOSE-OUT & TURNOVER
We ensure a clean, efficient project handover with complete punch list resolution, thorough documentation review (including warranties, as-built drawings, and lien waivers), and final billing compliance. When required, we also coordinate systems startup and owner training for seamless occupancy.
This meticulous process minimizes post-construction issues and helps your new or renovated space operate effectively from day one.
06.
DESIGN-BUILD SERVICES
Our design-build approach integrates design and construction under one accountable team, streamlining communication and accelerating timelines while reducing risk for commercial property owners and developers. We specialize in office, retail, medical, manufacturing, industrial, clean rooms, worship spaces, historical renovations, car dealerships, aviation and flexible vanilla-box spaces — delivering build-to-suit facilities or neutral ready-to-lease environments tailored to your needs.
By collaborating closely and diving into project details early, we consistently achieve high-quality results that maximize value and long-term performance.
PROVIDING COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION SOLUTIONS
“You can use an eraser on the drafting table, or a sledgehammer on the construction site.”
FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT
We appreciate this quote because it speaks to the importance of early collaboration between all of the project’s stakeholders. It’s much easier to make changes on the drawing board than to wait until the construction process. This type of collaboration is a key part of project delivery methods like design-build and IPD, and the construction process is smoother because of it.
