Commercial Construction Management

We manage complex on-site activity to ensure cooperation among the entire design/build team and meet critical schedules and budgets. Construction management brings professional expertise and knowledge to bear directly on your project to streamline the construction process.

What is the difference between General Contracting and Construction Management?2026-07-10T19:52:44+00:00

With Commercial General Construction, Freeman is hired after your design is finalized to execute the build based on fixed-price bids. With Commercial Construction Management, we act as your trusted advisor from the very beginning—collaborating during the pre-construction phase to oversee budgeting, scheduling, and subcontractor selection to maximize efficiency before ground is even broken.

Can Freeman Building Systems help our project achieve LEED certification?2026-07-10T19:52:12+00:00

Yes. Freeman Building Systems coordinates directly with LEED Certified Professionals to design and construct highly efficient, optimized facilities. Our sustainable building practices, resource management, and use of eco-friendly materials—such as high-recycled Butler steel—contribute points directly toward the USGBC LEED® certification process.

How does a Butler® Building System make commercial construction more sustainable?2026-07-10T19:51:40+00:00

We partner with Butler® Building Systems to make sustainable commercial building highly affordable. Butler pre-engineered steel buildings are constructed using up to 74% recycled steel and are 100% recyclable. Additionally, systems like the Butler MR-24® roof feature energy-efficient cool roofs that can reduce structural energy costs by up to 40% due to superior solar reflectance.

What are the benefits of using a single-source design-build contractor?2026-07-10T19:51:16+00:00

Choosing a single-source design-build contractor like Freeman Building Systems unifies the design and construction phases under one contract. This team-based approach eliminates communication gaps between architects and builders, accelerates project timelines, reduces administrative burdens, and prevents unexpected cost overruns for commercial clients.

Sustainable Commercial Building & LEED Certification

There are many reasons to build a “green” or “sustainable” building—from the savings provided by its enhanced energy efficiency to the personal satisfaction that comes from being environmentally responsible. Of course, choosing a sustainable building design makes sense only if it can be delivered within your budget. And our ability to offer Butler® Buildings makes sustainable building affordable. Butler® combines the inherent green benefits of steel with the company’s own green systems and practices.
