HOW WE DO IT

Bridge Builders’ ™ Concept to Completion© proven formula allows the company to be more than simply a bridge contractor. Bridge Builders ™ manages the total life cycle of a project, working with owners, developers, architects, and general contractors. Our team of professionals responsible for design, engineering, management, and construction ensure the successful on-time, cost-effective completion of your project.

Nearly thirty years ago, Bridge Builders USA, Inc. spearheaded design solutions for the timber bridge industry by developing “top-down” construction – an accelerated construction method whereby we can build timber bridges in wetlands and other environmentally sensitive areas with minimal impact to the environment. The result: our bridges fit beautifully in their natural settings and are installed in a manner which helps preserve some of our nation’s prime environmentally sensitive areas and wetlands.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Our past and current clients commend us for outstanding performance, quality, attention to detail and workmanship. As one of our clients put it, “Your crew needed little or no ‘hand holding.’ It was almost like your guys said, ‘show me where the bridges go and I’ll tell you when I’m done.'”

Please accept this letter as our sincere appreciation for your recent efforts in quickly repairing one of our bridges damaged by a torrential rainstorm early in the spring of this year. Your quick response to this matter was a crucial step in opening the race track for this year’s Indianapolis 500. Our appreciation and respect for your company as well as our relationship goes all the way back to 1991 when we first worked together during the reconstruction of our golf course.

Since 1991, you have completed three projects for us, the latest of which, was repairing a bridge you previously built in 2004 – a bridge damaged during a 200 – year rainstorm. However, even though the repair was, for you, a small, troublesome and complicated project, you still regarded us as though this was your first opportunity to work for a new and sought after client. The quality of your work is exacting and consistent no matter what size or complexity the project, and is exceeded only by the caliber of the people in your organization. It is that kind of unfailing attention and careful regard for a client that sets an organization apart from their competition, and it is those very same reasons that keep us returning to you.

Again, thank you for having the vision, philosophy and resources required to drive an organization that truly recognizes the regard for their clients while delivering a product with superb and consistent quality.
