Two traits I hold in high regard, personally and professionally, are integrity and respect. Consequently, working with Absher was an absolute pleasure. I have been in this business over 18 years, and Absher is not only the best contractor I have worked with, but the best overall vendor as well.”

Preconstruction Services

Absher's preconstruction services have been well-tested and proven on a wide range of projects, and have often meant the difference between a facility being built and simply remaining on the drawing table. Like any new project, the preconstruction phase is, in itself, unique. We work effectively—as a cooperative team member—with our clients, architects and consultant representatives to determine and then achieve specific goals in ways that work best for each client.
