★★★★★
"Foundation converted a 1920s cold-storage building into 84 mixed-use units. The price held to the GMP, the schedule held to the contract, and the as-built drawings matched the design intent. Three years on, the property is fully leased and the construction has held up."
J., developer, Strip District
★★★★★
"Three office tenant fit-outs across two buildings over four years. Foundation works overnights and weekends as a default so we never lose a single billable hour for the floors above and below. Pricing has been consistent and predictable."
P., property manager, Downtown
★★★★★
"We engaged Foundation for a research lab build-out. The MEP coordination was the cleanest we have ever seen. The commissioning report came back on the original schedule and the researchers were operational the day after handover."
M., university facilities, Oakland
★★★★★
"Ground-up 92-unit building in Lawrenceville. Foundation handled the pre-construction, the GMP, and the construction itself. The TCO arrived on time, the punch-list closed in two weeks, and the marketing photos still look how they did at handover."
K., multi-family developer, Lawrenceville

Common Questions
Read the answers, then send the brief. We work better when expectations are concrete.
Q.01
Stratum 012
Do you take residential work?
No. We are commercial-only. Adaptive reuse, multi-family, office, light industrial, and lab. We refer residential inquiries to several Pittsburgh contractors we trust.
Q.02
Stratum 024
What contract types do you offer?
GMP, CM-at-risk, design-assist, and pre-construction-only engagements. We help you pick the right structure during the feasibility conversation.
Q.03
Stratum 036
Do you self-perform?
Concrete, framing, drywall, and selective demolition are self-performed. MEP, finishes, and specialty trades are tightly coordinated through our long-standing subcontractor relationships.
Q.04
Stratum 048
Are you bonded?
Yes. Every contract is bonded. Surety and capacity references on request.
Q.05
Stratum 060
Is your workforce union?
Yes. Every site runs with union-trained labor. We are signatory to the relevant trades and have been since the company opened.
