services
From preconstruction to coNstruction services, we first build trust.
Great service means listening and understanding your goals then applying them to every stage of your project.
This approach allows us to deliver above expectations.
Preconstruction Services
We challenge the idea that construction is painful, starting with preconstruction.
Estimating
& Budgeting
Experience has no substitute. 50+ years of transparent estimating, budgeting, and detail experience help us deliver lower, more predictable costs. We assemble estimates in 4 phases: conceptual, schematic design, design development, and construction document, and present each to all members of the team.
Collaborative Value
Engineering
Value engineering is mission critical to delivering the most economical result without sacrificing quality. Our preconstruction experts work with the design team to identify high-cost areas and find possible alternatives to reduce costs. We share these, collaborate on key decisions, and go.
Constructability
Analysis
Identifying potential obstacles before they happen is key. We review all documents and plans to spot, reduce, and eliminate areas that could result in errors or delays. This process includes the design team and often dovetails with collaborative value engineering.
Model-Based Estimating
During preconstruction, we develop and manage our own 3D models, embedding estimating into the process for precise quantity takeoffs, cost analyses, and phasing scenarios without depending on incomplete early designs. Integrated with value engineering and constructability reviews, this approach tests design options, identifies savings, and forecasts budgets early. Using automation, historical cost data, and model-based workflows, we deliver transparent, reliable estimates aligned with the project strategy.
Preconstruction
Design Phase Scheduling
To align everyone involved with the project, we create and share a comprehensive design phase schedule that includes the earliest start date for construction.
Site Use & Logistics Planning
A quality site analysis can improve nearly every aspect of the construction phase. We examine vital processes including project sequencing, material staging, and access restrictions to create a site logistics plan for every phase of construction. Our aerial site maps provide a clear vision of the entire site including access points, storage/laydown space, and construction traffic patterns.
Permitting
Riley manages all required permits so you don’t have to. We anticipate permit and approval turnaround time so it does not affect schedule.
Procurement
Our industry reputation brings us significant bidding interest from the region’s top vendors. We provide a composite list of recommended bidders for review and approval. During design development, we divide work into bid packages based on trade and labor considerations, long lead items, sequencing and phasing, local practices and any other factors that affect competitiveness and efficiency.
Great service means listening and understanding your goals then applying them to every stage of your project.
This approach allows us to deliver above expectations.
Construction Services
We truly partner with clients from handshake to first handshake to every project that follows.
Self-Performed Work
With 150 of the region’s finest tradespeople in-house, we deliver faster, high-quality work at lower cost. We self-perform:
Masonry
Concrete
Carpentry
Drywall
Demolition
Cloud-Based Project Management
Industry-leading project management systems provide a single source of truth for project progress accessible by all key stakeholders any time from anywhere. Powerful tools include Procore for efficient planning, organization, and communication from start to finish.
Budget Management
Riley budgets are clear, thorough, and transparent. Detailed documentation and team responsibilities reduce Requests for Information (RFI) and change orders. The industry’s best software and straightforward accounting practices keep everyone aligned and informed through every step of the project.
Schedule Management
We are relentless communicators. Pull Plan helps keep every team member on schedule. Regular team meetings with stakeholders help predict and prevent constraints and conflicts, allowing us to promptly correct areas of concern and develop solutions.
Quality Control
Our formal quality control plan provides employees and subcontractors with a standardized framework including preinstallation meetings, inspections, and documentation.
Great service means listening and understanding your goals then applying them to every stage of your project.
This approach allows us to deliver above expectations.
Technology
Chaos is controllable. The right technology adds transparency, efficiency, and value.
Model Management
Our Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) team manages and curates detailed, data-rich 3D models from the earliest project stages. By centralizing model information, we enable seamless design collaboration and early coordination between all stakeholders, reducing clashes, improving constructability, and keeping projects on track. Automation and version control ensure everyone is always working from the most accurate and up-to-date information.
Project Coordination Management
We take a holistic approach to coordination, managing the flow of information, design intent, and construction sequencing across all disciplines and trades. As buildings grow more complex, our technology-driven process ensures every component fits and functions together as intended. AI-powered model checks, rules-based validation, and centralized communication keep all stakeholders aligned, enabling us to build better, reduce rework, and deliver projects with greater efficiency.
Reality Capture & Digital Twin Capabilities
Laser scanning and point-cloud integration create highly accurate as-built models. When desired, we can extend this into a “digital twin,” an interactive, living model that can support smarter maintenance, performance monitoring, and asset management.
Project & Schedule Visualization
We use tools such as augmented reality, high-quality animations, site logistics mapping, and schedule animations as powerful communication tools for all project stakeholders. Whether it’s helping a facility manager understand future maintenance access or allowing an end-user to virtually walk through a space before it’s built, these tools ensure clarity, alignment, and confidence at every stage of the project.
Facility Data & Management
At project closeout, we provide a comprehensive facility data package tailored to each client’s needs
which can include maintenance schedules, warranty information, operational guides, and, when requested, a full digital twin.
This information helps owners plan, operate, and maintain their buildings more effectively.
Great service means listening and understanding your goals then applying them to every stage of your project.
This approach allows us to deliver above expectations.
InSTEP® Delivers Without Surprises
Our time-honed Integrated System of Team Engagement Planning, (InSTEP) uses proven lean principles to deliver the facility you expect on time and on budget.
Proven Best Practices
We have a 60-year passion for improvement. Every team member examines past, current, and future processes and provides input on where we can improve. Challenging the status quo at every level has enabled us to establish a vast library of proven best practices. You can see this pride in everything we build.
We Run Lean
We customize Lean Construction’s most effective principles to fit your unique needs. Risk reduction, waste elimination, and a drive for continuous improvement are our North Star. We’ve found that lean principles consistently save time and money while increasing quality. They also make for a happier, more efficient workplace.
