Pre-Bid Budgeting and Pre-Construction Design

From Concept to Completion, Drakes is here to fulfill your dreams.  Understanding that most projects require funding, we can create pre-construction project budgets that can be preserved and delivered without additional costs.  We work with great construction professionals who excel at their trades. Our customers do not need to manage multiple people (unless they would like to).  Rest assured that your project will be well managed and completed with the highest quality expectations and that no details will fall through the cracks. Sit back and enjoy watching your dreams become reality.  If, at any time, you or your customers have a question or concern or want things changed, feel free to talk directly with your Project Manager. We will promptly address your needs.

Construction Management

Representing our client’s best interests is one of our greatest assets in providing excellence in customer service.  No matter who you choose to design your construction project, we promise to do our best to reduce wasted time. We will also communicate directly with architects, engineers, and subcontractors with the utmost professionalism, courtesy, and respect.  Financial liability is the greatest risk factor in your projects, and we have experience managing responsibility to ensure your bottom line is preserved. You want to enjoy the experience of watching your project be conceptualized, from the plan room to opening the front door.  Sit back, relax, and let us worry about the details, all while knowing you are in great hands.

Design / Build

The traditional approach of hiring an architect on the design side and a contractor on the building side is beautiful, but why not have them work together?  As a Master Builder, we work directly with the design team to streamline your project and ensure it is delivered on time and under budget. Why create a plan that may need to be altered when you can work together, with both sides, to create a buildable design and reduce the need for revisions? Our construction process revolves around you, our customer.  Our dedication to simplifying complicated systems, preserving aesthetic finishes, and maintaining quality standards is a concept with your expectations in mind. If you ever want to know more or have questions, we are here to share and explain the details-- and that is what sets us apart.

Project Management

Drake Mechanical is dedicated to initiating, planning, scheduling, executing, and delivering the best results to complete your construction project.  We not only meet your expectations, we exceed them. Our management philosophy is to lead by example and show our team that we actually care. This means we show up with brooms and trash bags because a clean job site sets high expectations, and we aren’t afraid to get our hands dirty.  We generate production schedules that detail a critical path to completion, and we share these with our customers as a “road map” the project intends to take. Construction always encounters some unknowns, but creating a realistic and anticipated schedule removes the guesswork from the equation.  If something does change throughout the project, we will update the schedule and share the new details as soon as possible. Proactive planning is another way we do right by our customers and build the team. We don’t plan for surprises but, when they do come up, we find great solutions and manage the responsibility to work through them.

Sustainable, Energy Efficient Construction, and Green Building

These terms get thrown around a lot. We focus on delivering projects that don’t conform to only one aspect of this approach but on doing what is right by our customers and the environment.  Balancing initial investment and return on investment is simpler than ever. Drake Mechanical has its own mechanical and plumbing teams to ensure that your best interests are at the forefront of the project.  We implement simple design techniques that can integrate benefits into site orientation, solar heating potential, and summer cooling potential-- all with wisdom in designing. Utilizing these techniques will reduce operational costs, which can be fun and add a great aesthetic design to your build.  Let us help ensure that your construction project is not only light on your wallet initially and every month after but light on the environment, too.

Long Relationships and Continuing Service

Even after we've completed your construction project, Drake Mechanical is here for you. Drake's is a family-owned and operated business, and we treat our customers like family. That's why we value our relationship with every customer and are committed to serving you with quality and integrity. Even after your project is finished, we're here to serve you for your HVAC, plumbing, and any additional property improvements you might need.

We look forward to serving you over the next one hundred-plus years-- and beyond!
