What We Do

Visser Brothers » What We Do

Design + Build = Your Vision.

We're here to bring your vision to life. Whether you need a fit-out, makeover or ground-up construction, our comprehensive range of commercial construction capabilities and services can be right-sized to suit your needs. We pride ourselves on our process, our people, and our capacity to deliver high-quality work on-time and on-budget. We watch every dollar as if it's our own. When we say "full-service," we mean it.

Services

Design Build

Visser Brothers Design Build Services offer a cost-effective, turnkey solution for full planning, design, and construction of your project. In this service type, there is a single point of responsibility, which minimizes risk for owners. We engage with owners at the beginning of the process through architectural and pre-construction planning, which helps avoid problems during the build. Design, scheduling, and construction tasks are interwoven, reducing scheduling problems and improving communication channels.

We have the right team of talented individuals, from architects to self-performing trades, to ensure a smooth process from inception to final inspections. As with all of our services, our attention to detail and focus on value engineering deliver results that are built to last.

General Contractor

With our General Contractor Services, we serve the traditional model of engagement by bid, and managing subcontractor bidding, typically after the building is designed. We leverage our relationships with quality-focused subcontractors to execute your vision onsite.

Construction Management

We offer Construction Management Services, where we collaborate with you and the design team throughout the complete construction process, up to and including onsite supervision of trade contractors. This type of engagement is typically based on a fee-for-service model.
