The Sippican Experience

We understand the roles of owners, designers and builders, as we’ve worn all of these hats, and still do. We enjoy building the most because we love creating something from scratch or restoring older buildings that need a little help, back to life. As builders, we are tireless advocates for our owners and designers; we spend our time managing the costs, quality and schedule of every project with the hundred-strong subcontractors and material suppliers needed to make a sketch, or a dream, become a reality.

We’ve had many construction successes and a few failures as well, learning from them all. Every project and every team differs; we work early and often during team development to ensure our teams collective strengths are realized and put to work. Construction projects are inherently risk oriented and during the construction period, the team will be continuously challenged on costs, quality, schedule, unforeseen occurrences and team | subcontractor | vendor relations.

We’ve built as much as we’ve developed and owned, and then some

To us, building can be the most fun of the roles. It’s great to create. These differing roles give us a well-rounded and empathetic perspective, teaching us how important each of us are to the other. All three roles are mutually dependent on each other to ensure a project’s success. If we have a fixed price budget without adequate construction documents, the budget will not be accurate. If the project has a tight time-line, and material selections aren’t completed, the schedule will extend. If the team has too much work on their plate, the upfront expectations will not be met. From the start, we work to align and vet the integrity of costs, quality and schedule alongside functional contingencies, and with our team’s strengths bolstered.
