Timely building process

Commercial General Contractor

Commercial projects require practical planning, reliable scheduling, and close coordination among trades. We build and improve retail, office, storage, and other business facilities with attention to how the finished space will support day-to-day operations.

QUALITY AND EFFICIENCY

Agricultural and Industrial Buildings

We construct barns, equipment storage buildings, shops, and other working structures designed around access, workflow, durability, and long-term use. Our agricultural construction experience helps us account for the realities of active properties and demanding environments.

COMMUNICATION IS KEY

Post-Frame and Custom Buildings

Post-frame construction offers flexible options for workshops, storage, business facilities, barndominiums, and mixed-use buildings. We can tailor the layout, exterior, openings, and interior buildout to the intended use of the structure.

Additions, Renovations, and Repairs Professionals

When an existing property needs more space or a new purpose, our team can coordinate additions, renovations, and repair work. We consider how new construction will connect with the existing building so the finished project functions as one cohesive space.

Our Portfolio

Our General Contracting Process

A defined process creates better decisions and fewer surprises. Although every project is different, our work generally follows five stages.

1. Consultation and Site Review

We begin by learning about your goals, property, intended use, preferred timing, and budget considerations. When appropriate, we review the site and discuss opportunities, constraints, and next steps.

2. Scope, Design, and Estimate

We help shape the project scope, coordinate design or engineering needs, and prepare a detailed proposal. The goal is to establish a shared understanding of what is included before construction begins.

3. Preconstruction Coordination

After approval, we organize the schedule, materials, subcontractors, site preparation, and permitting requirements that apply to the project.

4. Construction and Communication

During construction, our team oversees site activity, coordinates trades, tracks progress, and communicates about decisions, changes, and upcoming milestones.

5. Final Walkthrough and Closeout

At completion, we review the finished work with you, address remaining closeout items, and confirm the project is ready for use.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a general contractor do?

A general contractor manages the overall construction process. That typically includes coordinating schedules, subcontractors, materials, site work, quality control, and communication so the project moves forward as one organized effort.

Do you handle both new construction and renovations?

Yes. Koskovich & Murphy works on new buildings as well as additions, renovations, repairs, and expansions. The right approach depends on the condition of the
existing structure and the goals for the property.

What types of projects do you take on?

Our work includes residential, commercial, agricultural, post-frame, and custom construction. Because scope and availability vary, the best first step is to share the project type, location, goals, and desired timing with our team.

Can you coordinate permits, inspections, design, and engineering?

We can help coordinate the professional services, permits, and inspections required for the project. Specific responsibilities are defined during planning so you know what our team will manage and what may involve outside specialists or local authorities.

How early should I contact a general contractor?

Earlier is usually better. Involving a contractor during initial planning can help identify site considerations, budget drivers, scheduling needs, and constructability issues before key decisions are finalized.

How long will my construction project take?

Timing depends on the project’s size, design, permitting, material lead times, site conditions, weather, and trade availability. After the scope is developed, we can provide a more useful schedule and explain the milestones that affect it.
