our process
Get the best results for your project by involving our team from the start.
Our Design-Build approach offers an integrated framework that encourages high-level collaboration between designer and builder.
The design phase is the ideal time for designers and builders to come together and determine the constructability of your home or facility.
Our early participation ensures your project team is guided on cost, schedule, and constructability throughout the design process. In this way, Design+Build is the framework that reduces your risk while encouraging high-level collaboration between designer and builder.

Quality Assurance
“Having GLA Morris, as a builder, involved in the design process from the beginning was a win-win for the client. Feasibility and constructability were decided as a team effort early on which cultivates a partnership that continues throughout the design-build process. Their excellent communication ensures that all parties — the client, architect, contractor and subcontractor — are aligned with the vision, refinements, and goals. The result keeps the remodel process as efficient and reasonable as possible.””
Proper planning means there must be a commitment to a project management process involving all stakeholders throughout each phase.
That’s why GLA Morris believes your project’s success begins with a properly planned project. Today’s projects grow more complex as modern designs call for integrated systems promoting innovation and sustainability.
Pre-Project Consulting
Our services begin with pre-project consulting. Here, areas involving feasibility, design, estimating and sustainability are discussed with engineers and architects to determine the overall constructability of your project.
Pre-Construction Analysis
Once constructability of design is achieved, a project scope is defined, estimates are converted to budgets, and lead times become schedules coordinated with subcontractors.
Pre-construction services ensure your project’s success throughout all phases of ground-up construction.
Construction
GLA Morris goes beyond the minimum inspection standard by implementing our own quality controls. We are committed to providing the industry’s highest testing solutions while ensuring production flows smoothly from start to finish.
Closeout
Completion means more than passing your final inspection or checking off punch lists. Our closeout service is customizable to your project and involves commissioning, facilities system training, move management consulting, and warranty service. Important electronic documents such as lien releases, as-built drawings, and operation & maintenance manuals are securely transferred to you so as to bring total resolution of your project.
Our project team provides over 100 years of specialization in all phases of commercial & residential construction. We’re here to help develop your concept and build your vision.
“I’m very happy with the progress being made. It’s nice to be ahead of schedule.”
