From Humble Beginnings, A National Presence In 1946, George Adolfson was a bricklayer, traveling the states to find work. Gordy Peterson, a naval engineer, had just completed his military service. For both, hard work was a key to survival. A&P was started without any clients and without support from a bank or creditor. Integrity and creative problem-solving were essential to success. George and Gordy never asked someone to do something they would not do themselves. Subcontractors were hired on verbal promises and A&P understood strong relationships would be the foundation of the company. The respect shown to workers was reciprocated and from the firm’s earliest beginnings loyalty and quality have been fundamental to the services A&P provides to each client on every project. In 1946, the first A&P project was completed. George and Gordy’s honest nature and commitment to the highest quality construction has led to hundreds of satisfied clients in the generations since. Today the company remains a family-owned business, managed in part by George Adolfson’s grandsons Scott and Kent Weicht.
George Adolfson and Gordy Peterson established strong relationships with clients and subcontractors to lay the foundation for A&P’s success today.
Through the years, A&P’s priorities have remained to exceed client expectations through strong relationships with design partners and subcontractors, application of the latest technologies and firm-wide commitment to exceptional quality.

COLLABORATION Working with owners, architects and subcontractors, A&P develops fully integrated solutions.
Collaboration is the Cornerstone
Cherry Hills Village Joint Public Safety Facility: 13,000 sf | CM/GC
LEED
A fully integrated team provides exceptional value to the owner in the form of greater control of the overall design visioning and implementation processes. For the architect, the benefit of continual, real-time cost estimating is that the cost implications of design iterations are understood. Designers avoid projecting false expectations to the client and eliminate the need for a value engineering process. The greater benefit, however, is a more efficient design process with limited need for revisions. For the owner, A&P’s role in design improves construction quality, reduces errors and the need for change orders while also greatly mitigating the risk of incorporating new technologies and innovative design solutions.
“A&P worked closely with the design team to develop a plan that included workshop reviews of proposed details for cost control as well as coordination issues and availability of products. The A&P team maintained a consistently high level of energy, a sincere caring for the project and commitment to quality work. The project was completed ahead of schedule, within budget and to everyone’s satisfaction.” Timothy Scarlett, AlA | Associate Principal Kallmann McKinnell & Wood Architects Regarding University of Wyoming College of Business

Lean Construction, Putting More of Your Money in Your Building A&P embraces a lean construction culture that seeks to streamline the end-to-end design and construction process. We make it our mission to provide owners with more costeffective construction, shorter schedules and safer jobsites while continually raising the bar on our own measure of success. Working within an over arching principle of projectbased production, our process revolves around three primary objectives: Leveraging Team Experience: Harness the collective experience and wisdom of the owner, design team and our construction experts to make holistically effective decisions. Streamlining: Implement design and jobsite construction practices that maximize to possibilities for smooth, uninterrupted flow of work from one subcontracted team to the next. Increasing Tangible Value: Maximize the value built into the facility in terms of material quality, design and construction innovations, and long-term operational efficiency while minimizing the costs associated with labor inefficiency, material waste and operational overhead.
The goal of our lean construction program is to eliminate the “7 Wastes� frequently associated with commercial construction as shown above.

LEAN CONSTRUCTION A&P’s lean construction processes reduce waste, streamline decisions and increase the impact of dollars invested.
Lean Construction Strategies Last Planner System (LPS): A collaborative scheduling exercise that improves sequencing, prefabrication opportunities, material delivery, storage, handling and assembly. Choosing by Advantages (CBA): A decision making process that identifies specific advantages of one choice over another. Nothing Hits the Floor: Increases productivity by limiting the amount of material that is onsite (reducing double-handling), ensuring material is on easy-to-move carts and by having workers work at proper ergonomic heights. Plan, Do, Check, Act Cycle (PDCA): The cycle of improvement begins with planning, continues through initial execution, is verified in place and finally either accepted as a more effective way to complete a task or rejected through testing.
Nothing Hits the Floor and leveraging prefabrication opportunities are simple, direct strategies to streamline production on site.
VIRTUAL DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION
Virtual Design and Construction Another way A&P adds value decision making is by using the very latest construction technologies. Building Information Modeling (BIM) improves document coordination and visual presentations (3D), schedule integration (4D) and real-time cost estimating (5D). Web-based quality control software, realtime file sharing/editing programs and new communications platforms increase the quality of collaboration, enhance decision making and reduce conflicts, all of which ultimately results in a higher-quality, better value building.

Design and Preconstruction
In The Field
During design, Virtual Design and Construction technologies facilitate team coordination, detailed constructability reviews and an in-depth value analysis of proposed systems, building materials and design iterations.
A&P improves performance in the field by using Smartboards in our job trailers and iPads at installation sites, allowing us to use BIM as a true coordination and management tool. Highend construction requires exacting precision and rigid quality control. Construction Documents are made portable by tablet technology, allowing by Superintendents, Foremen and QA/QC team members remote access to project details.
BIM enhances estimating with detailed material, building systems and equipment costs tied directly to long-term performance with absolute transparency. System coordination eliminates the possibility of internal clashes or conflicts, thereby reducing re-work and material waste while providing a higherquality, more efficient construction process. BIM also supports the development of a highly detailed construction schedule. Careful scrutiny allows precise subcontractor scheduling to eliminate conflicts caused by overlapping scopes. Key subcontractor involvement during design facilitates prefabrication opportunities, reducing both costs and the need for staging and storage space on the site.
Post Construction After construction, A&P can incorporate the model into O&M manuals. Additionally, A&P is able to apply equipment information, model and serial numbers, warranty information and maintenance data to the model to aid in the management and maintenance of the facility. By having a system that is able to proactively anticipate maintenance schedules for building equipment, facility managers can realize additional long-term efficiencies.
