Bouten has been “making the grade” on educational facilities since our start back in 1944. Whether it involves construction and renovation of K-12 schools, university classroom and research facilities, or refurbishing aging mechanical and electrical systems, one thing remains consistent on these projects: meet the budget and achieve critical schedule deadlines. In an environment defined by academic schedules, student life and the needs of campus activities, Bouten facilitates clear and open communication during construction that is critical to every successful educational building project. Our staff identifies potential challenges before they become problems, and recommends sound and cost-effective solutions. Using a structured approach to manage educational projects ensures the entire subcontractor team is kept well-informed about current job progress, issues, and occupancy requirements. After all, when the students and teachers arrive for school, the facility must enhance the overall teaching and learning environment.
