Why Holmes & Brown Builders?
True builders - Because we are builders who understand every aspect of your project, we have greater control over the entire construction process-from project/risk management to cost/quality controls. We thrive on the challenge of working ‘hands-on’ and owning responsibility for the most complex and challenging of projects, both large and small. So we can deliver the best final cost, every time.
From Pre-construction through Completion - Count on us to handle every aspect of your project, including pre-construction, self-perform services, project management, risk management, and safety services. We have in-house experts in conceptual estimating and much more. All to ensure you get the most from every construction dollar.
Where quality and safety meet - Quality and safety are the foundation of who we are, and one leads to the other. A safe site is a clean site, which builds both quality and pride. And a quality project eliminates rework, reducing the risk of injury. Our leadership in quality and safety stands alone.
Diversification - With a wealth of experience in commercial, residential, educational, intuitional, and civil works we feel confident taking on any project.
