Construction Management

Well-Oiled Construction Process

With over 50 years of experience in the construction industry, Saunders is one of the Rocky Mountain region’s most notable and respected construction and development companies. We take pride in crafting a genuine connection among clients, industry partners and the community. Driven by our purpose, we’re focused on building for both the present and the future, while constantly evolving to meet our clients’ dynamic needs.

Project Delivery

Specializing in over 18 distinct construction niches, Saunders understands each project requires a specific delivery approach. Whether serving as a construction manager at risk or leading the entire design-build process, we aim to provide integrated services delivered by proven leaders across the full continuum of design, construction, and facility operations.

We employ lean principles and the latest in virtual design technologies to optimize value, eliminate waste, and assure our clients are engaged throughout the project process.

Construction Management & General Contracting

In today’s specialized world, many general contractors have evolved into trade brokers and construction managers. Saunders is a builder, not a broker. We have a large, experienced workforce made up of highly trained and certified craftspeople.

With nearly 250 forepersons, carpenters and laborers, we have the ability to self-perform the following critical portions of work:

  • Selective Demolition
  • Concrete
  • Rough Carpentry
  • Door, Frame and Hardware Installation
  • Fixturing
  • Surveying
  • Infection Control and Interim Life Safety Measures
  • Prefabrication
  • Environmental Management
  • General Trade Safety and Clean-up Measures
Integrated Technologies

Saunders’ Integrated Technologies Group includes a diverse team of architects, BIM specialists, quality assurance leaders, scheduling professionals, sustainable design and construction experts, and MEP/special system managers. Their responsibility is to continuously collaborate and drive unique solutions for our client’s challenges.

We strategically focus these efforts to close the gap between design and construction, make construction processes more efficient, and to ensure our construction teams are empowered to do it right the first time.
