Construction
Goals we hear from clients: Faster. Cheaper. Better.
Results we deliver: High Quality. On Time. On Budget.
Wight & Company’s award-winning construction group is a key component of Wight’s family of services, and evolved in response to our clients’ needs for more effective control and representation during the construction phase of projects. Wight provides comprehensive services from pre-construction through project closeout with 100 percent of our work delivered as construction manager or construction management-at-risk. We can partner with your design team or deliver projects as a sole-source, integrated designer and builder. The people, systems and processes we offer are unmatched in sophistication and reliability. Our expertise includes LEED® AP construction managers, who lead projects with sustainable features and ensure green strategies are applied during the construction phase. Our web-enabled system streamlines project documentation and personnel communications. Additionally, our use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) keeps our constructors on the same page with the designers and engineers, to avoid miscommunications and maintain on-schedule progress.
From minor renovations delivered under Job Order Contracts to large multi-phase rehabilitations and major new construction assignments, our construction portfolio displays a range of facilities in education, corporate, commercial, municipal, and government sectors.
