Services - Wolverine Building Group - Wolverine Building Group

Master Builder

We aim to be the Master of Construction Delivery. Our goal is to be exceptional at understanding and exceeding our client’s expectations. We strive to be innovative in discovering and creating new best practices and building solutions.

Our unique blend of our specialized teams allows us to offer expertise in every segment of the construction industry. Our services include design build, construction management, general contracting, historical renovation and building services and maintenance.

We take pride in going above and beyond the traditional role of a contractor to provide our clients with a superior level of service. We believe quality is a process, not just an end result. Our goal is to bring value as a member of the construction team to all phases of construction.

Design/Build

This approach enables us to assume full responsibility for the architecture, engineering and construction of a project. Our design/build method streamlines the construction process, reducing the construction time duration, which in turn reduces the cost of your project.

Wolverine Building Group has been providing design/build services to clients throughout West Michigan for the past 50 years. Our design/build services focus on providing exceptional buildings that are aesthetically pleasing and designed to serve your business needs. Under the traditional design/build delivery method, our firm oversees all phases of construction from project design through completion. We utilize our qualified in house staff of engineers, licensed architects and LEED accredited professionals. Additionally, our self-performing steel erection team provides you the quality you deserve on the timeline you need. We are the region’s most experienced firm for the erection of conventional steel and custom engineered metal buildings. We also have a track record of success working in a collaborative design/build method in which we assume sole responsibility while working with outside architectural firms or consultants.

Construction Management

Our Construction Management process is a team approach to design and construction, integrating the unique experience and skills of the owner, designer and construction manager to maximize quality, enable exceptional design and lower the cost of construction.

Wolverine Building Group is one of the first construction companies to provide the Construction Management (CM) services in West Michigan. Over the past 25 years, this delivery method has shown proven success with the construction of Fifth Third Ballpark, the Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital and Riverhouse Condominiums. The CM project delivery method begins at the earliest stage of a project, where we can make the greatest impact on the project’s success. Through collaboration with the owner, design professionals, vendors and trade partners, we ensure success through transparency, innovative thinking and utilizing our vast knowledge and experience. The entire process from concept to completion is led by Wolverine’s expert preconstruction services and project team members.

General Contracting

We believe that the role of General Contractor is a role of leadership and service. In this traditional delivery method, we take full responsibility for the construction of a project.

Our estimating team prepares a lump sum price that meets the exact specifications provided by your design professionals, and our skilled superintendents and project management team constructs the project with the highest level of safety and quality standards. When using this approach, our qualified staff will work to oversee the project organization, manage the flow of materials and personnel, maintain proper cost control, and ensure that a project is completed on time according to the plans and specifications set forth by the owner. The General Contracting approach also maximizes the benefits of our self-performance capabilities. Our field personnel are highly trained and extremely knowledgeable. When appropriate and beneficial, they have the ability to self-perform demolition services, cast-in-place concrete, steel erection, carpentry, general trades, fixtures, and painting. Wolverine Building Group has been providing General Contracting services throughout West Michigan for more than 75 years. We take pride in our reputation of providing a great value at the highest level of quality.

Historic Preservation

We take great pride in our extensive historic renovation experience. From large developments to single buildings, occupied or neglected, we have unsurpassed expertise in rehabilitating historic structures and preserving out-of-date buildings.

Not only are we multi-year recipients of the State of Michigan Governor’s Award for Historic Preservation, but we also have an extensive understanding of the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation. We can help identify if a project could qualify for federal tax credits under the National Historic Preservation Fund. In compliance with this program, we strive to retain any materials, feature or finished that define a building’s historic character or that of the district in which it is located.
