THE MOST IMPORTANT THING WE BUILD IS RELATIONSHIPS It’s not only important that we know our clients, but equally important for them to know and trust us! Before any successful relationship can be developed, there must be a level of “chemistry” between the team. Only then can trust and respect begin to grow. We’ve been blessed over the years to develop many of these strong connections, and that is what consistently gets us invited back to perform additional work. Experienced in all project delivery methods, including Design-Build, Design-Bid-Build, Construction Management at Risk, and Integrated Project Delivery, we earn our clients’ trust and respect by going above and beyond in every detail. From our very first meeting to every project thereafter, our clients can count on us to

Peace of Mind We’re old school. For six decades, the name SCHAEFER has been associated with gold standard performance. Honesty. Respect. Innovation. A belief in the fundamentals of doing business. We value our reputation and work diligently to protect it. Our clients can rest assured we will do our very best to satisfy them. Our “can-do” tradition is one they can depend on.
Confidence At SCHAEFER, we have deep and powerful resources, which allow us to guarantee we’ll always deliver top quality work, no matter how complicated and challenging the project.
Better Control We don’t just outsource and subcontract to reduce fixed overhead. In fact, we do just the opposite. We bring what the job demands to the work site, and we use our own people and resources as much as possible to control the construction schedule and produce the highest quality work possible.

SERVICES OVERVIEW Our experience has taught us that getting involved early is the key to a truly successful project!
Pre-Construction Services The pre-construction process is critical to the success of any project, and we utilize our best skill, effort and judgment to further the interests of the owner in developing their project. Our goal during the pre-construction process is to eliminate surprises once construction begins, and to build the project as cost effectively as possible. This is a collaborative effort between all parties, including the owner, architect, design build consultants, structural and mechanical engineers and utility companies. We provide budget pricing for:
• Preliminary/Schematic Design • Design Development
• 5 0% Construction Documents •F inal Bid Documents
Construction Services At SCHAEFER, we always strive to provide quality construction services on each and every project. We’re not just looking for a “one-time job,” but rather we’re hoping to build a relationship and retain our clients for years to come. Our clients’ needs always come first, and we follow through on all of the plans established during preconstruction to ensure we deliver an exceptional product, on-time and on-budget. Services we perform include:
• Design/Build • General Contracting
• Construction Management • Disaster/Recovery/Emergency
Post-Construction Services • F F&E (Furniture, Fixtures & Equipment Coordination) • Final Testing & Owner Training
• Move Coordination •C ompiling Operator & Maintenance Manuals
Regulatory Coordination Services • Site Due Diligence • Planning & Zoning • State & Local Building Permits • State Fire Marshal & Local Firehouse • State & Local Health Department

Additional Services • Alternative Cost Analysis • Scheduling • Market Review/Analysis • Construction Logistics

Whenever a client wishes to purchase their own materials, SCHAEFER can assist with all aspects of the tax-exempt process, ensuring all state requirements are met, and that our clients capture all applicable tax savings. We also have the expertise to handle grant-writing and manage all phases of the historic and sales tax credit application process.
From idea conception to grand opening, our Construction Management Team oversight helps bring a project to completion on-time and on-budget.

FEASIBILITY / MARKET STUDIES Performing a feasibility study is a critical step, but is often overlooked. Mistakes at this early stage can permanently affect a project’s performance. A good feasibility study provides more than just financial projections, as it becomes the market-driven strategic plan and road map for all subsequent decisions. SCHAEFER’s feasibility program combines our experience, knowledge and research with a proven and thorough methodology of site inspection, field work, competition analysis, and geo-demographic and geo-lifestyle cluster analysis. Our feasibility study

SITE / FACILITY ASSESSMENTS With our site/facility assessments, we work directly with the owner to evaluate the overall building and site conditions before deposit money is spent, or before any adaptive reuse is ever started. Our team will assess the current condition of a structure and notify the client of any potential deficiencies which could increase development costs. We can also prepare price estimates to assist with budgets. We partner with the architectural and structural teams to develop a schematic design plan and work out all pricing details. We make a collaborative effort with all parties to develop conceptual budgets and help reduce risk. To be successful, this process should include the owner, architect, design-build consultants and structural engineers.

SCHAEFER understands the importance of indoor air quality, and utilizes the necessary barrier walls, air machines, air lock rooms, and monitoring devices to ensure a clean and healthy environment.
VALUE ENGINEERING This is something we do on every project, regardless of the size. Our goal is to look for ways to improve the design, shorten the timeline, and save our client money. We’re not talking about a total re-design, but rather small, measurable things we can suggest based on our decades of experience. Because we’ve performed work all across the U.S. on so many different types of projects, we have an impressive level of experience with a wide variety of building types, materials, and methodologies. We know what works! We know the best products and materials, and we’ve learned a lot of tricks and shortcuts over the years which are effective and cost-conscious. We can offer new and innovative ideas to improve the performance, cost, and design of any project.
PROJECT FINANCING While construction is our core competency, there’s a lot more to having a successful project than just delivering top quality construction and management services. SCHAEFER can assist in the sourcing and securing of financing, to include front-end and permanent real estate loans. Our team will work with our financing partners to provide construction, non-recourse acquisition/bridge and permanent financing options through sources such as: Fannie Mae DUS, Freddie Mac Program/Plus and, MAP-approved FHA loan products (specifically designed for the senior’s housing and healthcare environment). Other funding sources available include: EB-5 foreign investor, angel investor, equity investor, and venture capital. To ensure the proper financing option matches your project, SCHAEFER will assist with all the necessary due diligence analysis, including all paperwork and coordination.
GREEN BUILDING SCHAEFER understands the positive impact of green building/renovation practices, because we know the potential benefits are measurable and significant. We take great pride in our achievements and ongoing efforts to incorporate sustainability into our business plan, and to help our clients reduce their carbon footprint wherever possible. We embrace opportunities to use renewable resources more efficiently. By enforcing energy conservation in our own offices, establishing recycling stations at our job sites, and using renewable construction materials wherever possible, we do our part to reduce
Our goal is to reduce waste and be proactive recyclers on all of our projects, whether they are being certified or not.
the overall impact of construction on the environment. Our goal is to reduce waste and be proactive recyclers on all of our projects, whether they are being certified or not. In this day and age, it is more than just a responsible decision to make every effort to protect our environment. It is a necessity! SCHAEFER stays abreast of the latest developments in LEED building, and we have project management who will bring this knowledge to each and every job we manage.

SERIOUS ABOUT SAFETY

SCHAEFER’s safety record is vitally important to us, especially given the sensitive and oftentimes critical environments in which we work. Running a safe job site is a top priority, and we believe our safety efforts are the responsibility of each and every employee.

No job, task or schedule is more important than the health and well-being of anyone on (or near) our jobsites. Our goal is always zero accidents, and we have proven it’s possible to build and renovate buildings without injuries or accidents. We utilize an Incident Protection Plan (IPP), which begins with a comprehensive, pre-construction safety review in which our Safety Director, Project Superintendent and any subcontractors on the job meet to identify all safety issues associated with the project. The Project Superintendent is required to maintain a written copy of our standard (and site specific) safety program, as well as a detailed description of the potential issues identified during the safety review, plus the IPP for avoiding accident or injury.
GLI Greater Louisville, Inc.
We communicate our focus on safety with all new employees during their orientation, as well as require them to watch various safety videos and attend safety training classes. We even require this of our Project Managers and Executive Staff, as any annual bonuses are tied directly to our corporate safety record.
