Our Construction Services
Whether you’re seeking an end-to-end design-build partner, a general contractor, a construction management service, or something in between, we pride ourselves on providing all your needs in-house. With 100+ years of experience, we’ve honed our skills in guiding clients through tailored construction solutions on time and on budget.
At W. A. Klinger, we don’t just manage construction projects—we actively build them. As both a builder and a manager, we can self-perform much of the work that goes into our projects, giving us a unique edge in controlling costs, schedules, and quality.
By swinging a hammer ourselves, we bring a hands-on approach that allows us to solve problems on-site, ensure the work is done right the first time, and hold subcontractors to the same rigorous standards. Unlike suitcase managers who rely solely on subcontractors, we have a skilled workforce ready to step in when needed, minimizing delays and keeping projects on track.
Our ability to self-perform key aspects of construction enhances our flexibility and allows us to maintain strict control over the timeline and quality of every project. We’re deeply connected to the local community and committed to delivering high-quality, lasting results that will endure for generations.

OUR CORE SERVICES
ALL SERVICES
PRE-CONSTRUCTION PLANNING & COST ESTIMATING
We understand that a project's success is determined long before a shovel even hits the dirt. Klinger’s pre-construction services focus on listening to our client’s goals and working with design teams and project stakeholders to develop clear and achievable plans. Our experience as both a builder, as well as a manager allows us to deliver more accurate estimates, reducing surprises down the road. We leverage real-time data and local market insights to ensure that your conceptual, schematic, and detailed design budgets align with your vision and financial parameters.
Pre-construction planning & cost estimating are included in Construction Management, Design-Build & Pre-Construction services.
CONSTRUCTABILITY REVIEW
With over a century of experience, we have seen and done it all. That experience guides our constructability reviews to ensure that design plans are not only visionary but also practical. We work with clients and design teams early in the process to evaluate construction methods, identify challenges, and provide feedback on optimizing plans. Our builder’s perspective helps avoid unnecessary delays and adds value from the first stages of development.
Constructability review is included in Construction Management, Design-Build & Pre-Construction services.
VALUE ENGINEERING
By partnering closely with clients and design teams, we provide value engineering services that maintain your project’s integrity while optimizing costs, ensuring you are getting the biggest bang for your buck. We actively listen to understand your priorities and explore innovative alternatives to enhance functionality without compromising quality. Our team uses decades of hands-on building experience to identify cost-saving solutions that improve project outcomes, whether it's through material selection or construction techniques.

SUBCONTRACTOR PREQUALIFICATION & PROCUREMENT
Klinger understands that having a solid and accountable relationship with subcontractors is key to project success. We have built strong, lasting relationships within the construction community. Our extensive network of trusted subcontractors allows us to prequalify and select only the most skilled and reliable teams for each project. As both a builder and manager, we understand the intricacies of quality workmanship and hold our subcontractors to the same high standards we set for ourselves. We don’t just manage subcontractors; we actively collaborate with them to improve efficiency, reduce risk, meet timelines, and ensure superior results.
Subcontractor prequalification & procurement are included in Construction Management, Design-Build, General Contractor, & Pre-Construction services.
BID PACKAGE DEVELOPMENT & BID LETTING
With our extensive experience on both sides of the construction process, we have a unique understanding of the bidding landscape. This insight allows us to develop tailored bid packages that reflect real market conditions, encouraging the maximum number of qualified subcontractors to participate. Rather than taking the easy route and consolidating packages under a general contractor, we craft multiple targeted bid packages to cover all aspects of the project. Our goal is to manage the entire project—subcontractor by subcontractor—rather than just overseeing a general contractor. This ensures a competitive bidding environment that leads to better pricing and more value for our clients. By strategically timing our bids to match market conditions, we deliver lower project costs and
greater efficiencies.
Bid package development & bid letting are included in Construction Management, Design-Build, General Contractor & Pre-Construction services.
PROJECT COST CONTROL
Our commitment to cost control begins in the design phase and continues throughout construction. Klinger’s firsthand experience in the field as builders gives us unique insight into the real costs associated with every aspect of the project. This hands-on knowledge allows us to develop more accurate estimates, actively monitor costs, and proactively address any budgetary concerns before they escalate. By continuously reviewing plans and costs, we’re able to offer high-quality construction at the most competitive price for our clients. Our proactive cost management approach not only keeps projects on budget but also adds value by enabling clients to make informed decisions in real time.

PROJECT SCHEDULING
We believe that strong project schedules are essential for meeting deadlines and staying within budget. Thanks to our expansion and extensive experience, we can develop schedules that are not just theoretical but grounded in real-world execution. Our proactive communication, detailed approach, and collaboration with key stakeholders allow us to provide an accurate, efficient, and achievable schedule that aligns with our client’s goals and well-planned milestones that keep the entire team accountable to deliver on time.
Project scheduling is included in Construction Management, Design-Build, General Contractor & Pre-Construction services.
CONSTRUCTION COORDINATION & MANAGEMENT
Our approach to construction coordination is proactive and hands-on, ensuring every phase of the project runs smoothly. We begin with clear communication during pre-construction, holding regular meetings to set expectations for all parties involved. Throughout the project, we maintain daily oversight, addressing potential issues before they become costly delays. Our field teams and project managers collaborate closely, ensuring that subcontractors meet their schedules, budgets, and quality standards. As a builder with crews that self-perform many scopes of work, we are uniquely equipped to identify challenges early and adjust workflows accordingly, leading to efficient execution and a seamless project experience for our clients.

QUALITY CONTROL
For Klinger, quality has been the hallmark of our business for over 100 years, and we’ve built a reputation for delivering projects that endure for generations. Our quality control process begins by prequalifying subcontractors to ensure only the most skilled are brought onto the project. We take full responsibility for the work, conducting daily site walks and using tools like Procore to monitor quality and correct and improve work in real time. By setting clear expectations early and maintaining close oversight throughout the project we make sure that every detail meets our high standards. “Build to Endure” is not just our motto, but an uncompromising standard and a core belief.

By maintaining a focus on quality from the outset, we minimize last-minute fixes and ensure a smooth, efficient close-out process.
