S.E.M Construction specializes in institutional, commercial, industrial and multifamily residential buildings. We take projects from planning through permitting all the way to completion. Our combined experience, vision and attention to detail provides our clients with peace of mind that their construction projects will be delivered on time, on budget and completed with a level of quality that exceeds their expectations.
We take pride in our diverse portfolio, which includes:
The pre-construction phase establishes the foundation for project success through meticulous planning and strategic development. Our team works closely with consultants, designers, regulatory agencies, and trade partners to build a unified approach that aligns all stakeholders. We carefully analyze budgets, schedules, construction feasibility, and permitting/approval requirements to ensure every detail supports our shared vision of excellence. By identifying potential challenges early and developing proactive solutions, we create a roadmap for seamless project execution.
As your Construction Manager, S.E.M. serves as your dedicated advisor and advocate throughout the project lifecycle. In this collaborative approach, we represent your interests from the earliest design phases through project completion, providing expert guidance on constructability, cost, scheduling, and risk management.
Working as an extension of your team, we implement transparent budgeting practices based on open-book pricing and coordinate all construction activities while you maintain direct contractual relationships with trade contractors. This approach maximizes your control and visibility while benefiting from our expertise in construction sequencing, quality assurance, and project coordination.
Our Construction Management service is ideal for complex projects requiring early contractor involvement, collaborative problem-solving, and maximum flexibility throughout the construction process. We bring the same commitment to quality and safety that defines all S.E.M. projects, while providing the added value of continuous professional guidance aligned with your specific goals and priorities.
Under our General Contracting model, S.E.M. assumes full responsibility for delivering your project according to established plans and specifications. This traditional approach provides you with a single point of accountability for all construction activities, subcontractor coordination, material procurement, and quality control.
After plans are developed, we provide comprehensive pricing, establish clear schedules, and execute all construction work through our own forces and specialized subcontractors. Our team handles all site management, trade coordination, and quality assurance, delivering your project to exacting standards while minimizing your administrative burden.
This delivery method offers certainty through fixed pricing, streamlined communication through a single source of responsibility, and the assurance that comes from S.E.M.’s proven processes and rigorous quality standards. For clients seeking a turnkey solution with clearly defined scope and pricing, our General Contracting services provide confidence and clarity throughout the construction process—always BUILT RIGHT, BUILT SAFELY.
Our design-build approach integrates design and construction services under a single contract, creating a streamlined process driven by collaboration and aligned goals. This unified approach fosters synergy from pre-construction through project closeout, ensuring we consistently work toward exceeding your expectations.
From identifying your project’s unique requirements to assembling a dedicated team of professionals, we serve as your single point of contact, taking full responsibility for delivering exceptional results. This integrated approach minimizes risk, optimizes efficiency, and enhances communication throughout the project lifecycle.
A VISION OF PRESENT AND FUTURE
At S.E.M. Construction, we leverage cutting-edge Virtual Construction technologies to enhance project delivery, streamline field verifications, and make complex information more accessible to all project stakeholders. These digital tools allow our team to identify potential issues with existing conditions before construction begins, produce detailed visualizations for clients, and foster open collaboration among all project participants.
Through Building Information Modeling (BIM), we create a comprehensive virtual representation of “what will be,” generating detailed 3D models that simulate all phases of construction—from initial concept to final implementation. S.E.M. has made significant investments in developing our in-house Virtual Construction capabilities, allowing us to utilize these technologies extensively across our projects.
Our virtual construction approach provides clients with the invaluable opportunity to tour their space virtually before physical construction begins, enabling informed decision-making and reducing costly changes during the build phase. This technology transforms complex technical information into clear visual representations that enhance understanding and communication for all stakeholders.
Our BIM capabilities leverage precise 3D technology to create accurate digital models of existing conditions and proposed construction. These detailed models facilitate simulation of all phases of new construction, renovations, tenant fit-outs, and special projects work. S.E.M. has committed substantial resources to developing our internal BIM processes, ensuring we can deploy this powerful technology effectively across projects of all scales.
The resulting 3D models serve as powerful communication tools, allowing clients to virtually experience their future space before construction begins and helping our field teams visualize complex installations before execution. This proactive approach identifies potential conflicts early, minimizes rework, and optimizes construction sequencing.
S.E.M. Construction utilizes AR/VR technology to overlay virtual construction information onto real-world spaces, creating immersive visual representations that can be experienced in the actual project location. This advanced capability helps clients and project teams better understand design concepts, visualize finished spaces, and make more informed decisions.
Our technology team can create virtual walkthroughs for project updates and produce photorealistic documentation that brings designs to life before construction begins. These immersive tools enhance collaboration, improve communication, and provide stakeholders with a clearer understanding of project outcomes—ultimately delivering a more streamlined construction process and superior results that are BUILT RIGHT, BUILT SAFELY.
