Our Approach

QUALITY COST VALUE

Technology & Innovation

The development makes expert use of technology to enhance team communication and collaboration, expedite workflow, and capture and control all relevant project information. Our technology tool kit includes:

Project collaboration systems for scheduling, budget/financial management, workflow management, issue resolution tracking, centralized document access and control, and change management

Automated cost estimating systems for current and accurate prediction of costs based on locality-adjusted market information

Earned Value Management systems to keep projects on schedule and within budget by tracking construction progress in relation to expenditures

Computer-aided design (CAD), multi-dimensional virtual Building Information Modeling (BIM), and Geospatial Information Systems (GIS) to provide precision guidance and coordination of design and construction, including accurate "as-built" records

Our proficiency with targeted technology solutions affords our clients a level of service unmatched by our competitors.

Building Science & Sustainability

We implement the latest developments in building science, sustainability, green building, energy efficiency, and material selection. Some of the practices we incorporate into projects include:

High-efficiency HVAC and geothermal systems.
Use of thermal efficient walls, roof and insulation.
Energy modeling.
Water efficiency.
Rainwater gardening.
Sustainable stormwater management.
Protect existing green space.
Sediment and erosion control to reduce pollution.
Use of native plants and species in landscaping.
Locally harvested stone and aggregate material.
Construction and demolition material recycling.
Permeable driveways and low-impact design elements.

Vendors & Partners

MK relies on a select network of local subcontractors, suppliers, and expert tradesmen. By constantly developing and maintaining good relationships with subcontractors and vendors, we ensure our work is of high quality while minimizing costs for our customers. To ensure that only the best subcontractors bid on our projects, we employ rigorous pre-qualification standards, work closely with them during the bid stage, and closely monitor their work throughout construction to ensure a successful project.
