Core competencies

Construction management and general contracting. Calhoun plans the work, holds the schedule, coordinates the trades and delivers the documentation. Language below follows the firm's own technical proposals.

Preconstruction and estimating
Solicitation review, site investigation, scope definition and competitive pricing built from real subcontractor and supplier quotes.
Construction management
Schedule control, subcontractor coordination, submittals, daily reporting and owner communication from notice to proceed through final acceptance.
Site preparation and secure sequencing
Demolition, site prep and phased work on secure facilities where perimeter integrity, access control and continuity of operations cannot lapse.
Perimeter security and site systems
High-security fencing, vehicle and pedestrian gates, access control, cable barrier systems, and the electrical and signage work that ties them together.
Quality control and safety
Written QC and safety plans, base access coordination, inspections and corrective action tracked to closure.
Closeout and deliverables
As-builts, warranties, O&M documentation and final turnover packaged the way the contracting office expects to receive it.
