Why Choose Bohden for General Contracting
With Bohden, you get more than a contractor — you get a partner with discipline, transparency, and adaptability. Our “boots-on-the-ground” approach blends the reliability and breadth of a large EPC firm with the agility of a regional general contractor.
Because we self-perform or tightly coordinate industrial trades, we maintain control over quality, timeline, and costs — minimizing risk and maximizing value for clients.
Our proven track record in complex industrial and manufacturing environments — including high-spec builds (cleanrooms, controlled environments, GMP-compliant facilities) — ensures we understand the special demands of regulated industries.
General FAQs
Do you have proven experience as an industrial and manufacturing general contractor?
Yes. Bohden is an experienced industrial and manufacturing general contractor with project experience across a wide range of operating environments, including active manufacturing facilities, complex MEP systems, and safety-critical sites.
Our cross-sector industrial experience allows us to adapt quickly to unique process flows, regulatory requirements, and operational constraints. This flexibility enables us to deliver consistent results across diverse manufacturing and industrial facilities. For examples of industries served, please visit our Markets page or contact us directly to confirm project alignment.
Can you provide references or case studies for similar industrial projects?
Yes. We can provide relevant references and project examples upon request. While we showcase select industrial construction projects on our website and social channels, many of our manufacturing clients operate in regulated or confidential environments where public case studies are not appropriate.
A direct conversation allows us to discuss comparable project scopes, facility types, and complexity levels in more detail.
Are you fully licensed, bonded, and insured for industrial construction projects?
Yes. Bohden is fully licensed, bonded, and insured in accordance with state regulations and industrial project requirements. Certificates of insurance, bonding information, and licensing documentation are available upon request.
How is project communication managed on industrial construction projects?
Each project is assigned a dedicated Project Manager who serves as the single point of contact throughout the project lifecycle. All communication, coordination, and decision-making flows through this role to maintain clarity and accountability.
Our onsite teams provide daily progress updates, allowing for proactive issue resolution and schedule management. Bohden personnel are present whenever work is performed to ensure quality, safety, and alignment with project expectations.
How do you select and manage subcontractors for specialized industrial trades?
We maintain a deep network of vetted subcontractors with proven experience in industrial and manufacturing environments, including mechanical, electrical, and specialty trades.
Subcontractors are selected based on safety performance, technical expertise, and prior experience in active facilities. All subcontractors are managed directly by Bohden under defined scopes, schedules, and safety standards to ensure consistent quality and coordination.
What is your communication and reporting process during construction?
Our communication structure is intentionally lean and decision-focused. Most projects include a standing weekly progress meeting, with additional coordination during critical phases or shutdown periods.
We utilize Procore for project management, including RFIs, submittals, schedules, and documentation, providing clients with real-time visibility into project status.
How do you manage scheduling and delays in industrial environments?
We proactively plan for material lead times, labor availability, weather impacts, and operational constraints common in industrial construction.
When delays occur, we communicate immediately and present mitigation strategies to minimize schedule impact. Our experience working in live manufacturing facilities allows us to adjust sequencing and work windows to keep projects on track.
What safety protocols do you follow on manufacturing and industrial job sites?
Safety is fundamental to how we operate. All work is performed in compliance with OSHA requirements, site-specific safety plans, and client protocols.
Proper PPE is required at all times, and personnel receive training tailored to the risks of each facility. Our teams are empowered to stop work if unsafe conditions arise, reinforcing a safety-first culture across all industrial projects.
Do you manage permits, inspections, and industrial code compliance?
Yes. Bohden manages permitting, inspections, and coordination with authorities having jurisdiction as part of our industrial construction services.
By directly managing trade sequencing, we schedule inspections promptly after work completion, minimizing delays and keeping projects moving efficiently.
How transparent are your industrial construction costs?
We provide clear, transparent pricing with well-defined scopes, assumptions, and deliverables. Project costs are presented in a straightforward format, with overhead and profit structured appropriately based on project delivery method.
Our goal is to eliminate surprises and support informed decision-making throughout the project.
How do you handle change orders in manufacturing facilities?
When scope changes or unforeseen conditions arise, we communicate immediately and provide pricing, schedule impacts, and solution options before proceeding.
Industrial projects often involve unknowns once work begins, but our commitment is rapid response, transparency, and collaborative problem-solving that protects operations and budgets.
What payment schedules do you typically use?
Payment schedules are typically milestone- or progress-based and clearly defined in the contract. Structures are tailored to project scope, duration, and client requirements.
What warranty do you provide on industrial construction work?
We provide a standard workmanship warranty consistent with industry practices and contract requirements. Manufacturer warranties for installed equipment and materials are passed through to the owner as applicable.
Do you provide value engineering for manufacturing projects?
Yes. During pre-construction and design phases, we provide value engineering focused on constructability, schedule optimization, process flow, and long-term operational efficiency.
Our recommendations consider ROI, throughput, lifecycle maintenance, coordinated MEP systems, and as-built documentation to support ongoing facility operations.
How do you mitigate risk related to labor and material availability?
We actively monitor labor conditions and material lead times throughout the project. When risks are identified, we evaluate alternate sourcing, sequencing adjustments, or qualified trade options to minimize disruption.
How do you minimize disruption to active manufacturing operations?
We specialize in working within live manufacturing environments. Detailed planning is conducted for site access, deliveries, work sequencing, and shutdown windows.
Through regular coordination meetings, we align construction activities with operational schedules or establish temporary work environments when feasible, minimizing downtime and protecting production.
