OUR APPROACH
PRECONSTRUCTION AND PLANNING
Planning is essential to successful projects. That’s why we have a straightforward approach—we provide early cost clarity, a versatile team, accurate pricing, and ongoing collaboration so we can successfully achieve your project’s unique goals.
Preconstruction and Planning
We control the budget from start to finish, so there are never unexpected surprises, and we’re constantly looking for ways to use cost-effective alternatives so we can save you money. We’re transparent through the whole process, keeping you updated with regular reports and insights on the project, so you’re always on the same page as us. Our skilled team becomes an indispensable part of the project delivery team as we work to guide the design to meet the budget. Above all, we believe in doing the right thing—no surprises for you, and no excuses from us.
In-House Experts
We handle estimating entirely in-house by our team of licensed architects, engineers, and seasoned operations veterans. This allows us to take a proactive approach and early collaboration with project managers, superintendents, and other vital construction staff who will work on this project. Early successes build confidence in the project, both on your team and ours.
Pricing and Technology Accuracy
At Alltrade, we promise unparalleled preconstruction finesse and pricing precision. This trust elevates planning, timeliness, quality, and safety, benefitting the entire process. We’re able to promise this level of precision through our use of technology—with our virtual design and construction services, we decode quantities, site safety, prefab potential, and more. From model-based estimating to 3D models, laser scans, and virtual reality, this depth and preparation ensures your project’s goals are achieved—safely, correctly, and with ongoing communication from us.
Ongoing Support
While we provide excellent preconstruction and planning support, our work doesn’t end there. We can help bring your project all the way to completion, providing our expert team support and guidance the whole way. That means ongoing cost control and constant confirmation that you’re getting even more than you hoped for.
The team dynamics at Alltrade are outstanding, with ample opportunities for career progression. The recognition of hard work and dedication and the team’s support motivates us to tackle new challenges, acquire fresh skills, and make meaningful contributions to our projects and the company’s growth.

Alltrade (and Barton Malow as our parent organization) don’t just ‘talk the talk’ about equal opportunities for women, you know they ‘walk the walk’ when you see how many women have grown their careers here and are in positions of leadership in departments or roles that usually lack female representation.Angie Fortney, Senior Project Accountant, Alltrade Industrial Contractors
