What We Build
From ground-up builds to tenant improvements, we do it all
A focused commercial practice. We self-perform the core work and run every job with one owner-led team, from the first feasibility study to the final walk-through.
Why Old Ironsides
Discipline, by design.
The name comes from the 1st Armored Division, "Old Ironsides", and the standard comes with it: clear orders, no excuses, mission first. We self-perform our core work. The people who scope a job run it in the field. And we take on the projects other contractors avoid, occupied schools, live terminals, fixed reopening dates. That isn't a slogan. It's how every job gets delivered.
Occupied-facility experience
We phase and shield the work so classes, flights, services, and sales keep running. Dust control, after hours windows, and clean separation keep the building usable while we build.
Self-perform crews
Our own owner-led crews perform the core work. The people who scope the job run it in the field, so quality and schedule stay in our hands instead of a chain of subcontractors.
Public-works ready
Prevailing wage, certified payroll, and DIR and DSA processes are routine for us. We deliver school, airport, and municipal projects to the documentation and inspection standards they require.
Preconstruction discipline
We walk the site, test the scope, and lock a real budget and schedule before work starts. Fewer surprises in the field mean fewer changes, delays, and cost overruns for you.
How We Work
How a project runs
The same disciplined workflow whether it's a tenant improvement or a public-works build.
01
Understand the site
We start on-site, understanding the facility, the constraints, and how the building is used before we price anything.
02
Scope and schedule
A clear scope, a real number, and a schedule built around your operations and your deadlines.
03
Self-perform build
Owner-led crews perform the core work and hold every subcontractor to the same standard, with daily field accountability.
04
Closeout
We manage inspections and punch-list, clean up completely, and hand back a finished space on schedule.
