Our People
As an employee-owned company, members of the Cardinal team have a vested interest in the outcome of your project. Ownership fosters a drive to establish and maintain schedules, respond quickly to our clients’ concerns and deliver a quality product. At all levels and in all aspects of business, we share a common goal—to create the best possible experience for our clients.
Our Process
Listen and Engage
We want our project Owners to be engaged in the building process, and that begins with a shared understanding of expectations. We listen to understand project goals and address any apprehensions or fears before moving forward.
Plan
Once we understand expectations and goals for the project, it’s our responsibility to work with the project team and Owner to develop a comprehensive plan and schedule for moving forward.
Implement
Once planning is done, the implementation phase begins. Whether we’re serving in the capacity of builder or advisor, our team will lead the construction process to ensure quality and accountability standards are maintained throughout.
Follow-Through
The project is not complete when the last punch-list item is remedied. Instead, we commit to a post-project review both internally and externally with our clients to ensure expectations and goals have been met.
