The Uniquely Complex 'Small' Projects of Construction

When we talk about construction, it's easy to jump right to the multi-million dollar projects like skyscrapers, multifamily housing, stadiums and event spaces. These multi-phased projects can be complicated and take years to complete. But a lot of the behind-the-scenes in construction involves smaller scale projects, like tenant improvements, renovations, buildouts, maintenance, and more. While they may be labeled as Small Projects, they are vastly important to the client, and require attention to detail, flexibility, and diligent planning. Kraus-Anderson's Special Projects team performs over 300 projects a year that are under $500,000. These projects range from installing plexiglass in office spaces for social distancing to emergency response projects that require tight turnarounds. No matter the project, no job is too small or unique. KA Vice President Doug Jaeger and Senior Project Manager Bob Janssen discuss the smaller projects in construction and the unique challenges and opportunities they bring.
