About Target Building

Pre-construction

At Target Building, preconstruction is the cornerstone of project success. With over 100 years of combined estimating expertise and a strong subcontractor network, our in-house team delivers precise, cost-effective planning from the start. For more than 31 years, we’ve led early project development with a coordinated, owner-focused approach — including scope assessment, conceptual estimating, infrastructure evaluation, MEP analysis, value engineering, and early procurement strategies. Our proactive leadership ensures collaboration, reduces risk, and streamlines the transition into construction for a smooth, successful build.

Design-Build

Since 1990, Target Building has delivered hundreds of successful Design Build projects by uniting the Owner, Contractor, and Architect from the start. This collaborative approach streamlines design, budget, and scheduling decisions, leading to faster approvals, fewer change orders, and efficient project execution. With in-house management of the design team, we expedite submittals and changes to keep construction moving. Our integration of Nucor Pre-Engineered Systems creates flexible, open spaces—ideal for churches, warehouses, and more—while saving time and cost throughout the building process.

Construction Management

Target Building’s Management services ensure every phase of your project is expertly guided from start to finish. During design, we align drawings with budget and schedule, offering smart solutions through our in-house architects. In bidding, we descope and select top-tier teams for quality and value. On site, we manage materials, subcontractors, safety, and scheduling with hands-on oversight. Through every change, we protect your investment. At completion, we answer to one authority—the Owner—delivering a project that meets your vision, expectations, and trust.

General Contracting

Target Building has earned consistent recognition on the Philadelphia Business Journal’s “Top 25 General Contractors” list—reflecting our strong reputation and deep expertise in the region. We’ve proudly served as General Contractor on projects across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware, delivering reliable estimating, project management, and field supervision. Our experienced home office team is backed by advanced project management, scheduling, and accounting software, enabling us to deliver projects on time and within budget. Safety is fundamental to everything we do. Our OSHA-certified field supervisors and an outstanding Experience Modification Rating of 0.735 reflect our commitment to maintaining safe job sites and protecting every team member.

Safety

At Target Building, safety is not a checklist—it’s embedded in every decision we make. As a family-founded, family-oriented company, we prioritize ensuring every worker returns home safely each day. Our in-house safety director leads ongoing training, site inspections, and compliance with third-party reviews. Executive leadership actively reinforces our safety culture. We maintain strict barrier systems, ICRA protocols, secure access routing, and on-site monitoring. From planning to execution, safety is built into every phase of construction—because protecting our people, partners, and clients is always our top priority.

Project Technology

At Target Building, we believe an efficient site is a successful site. That’s why we leverage leading construction technologies to streamline communication, documentation, and project performance. Tools like Procore provide 24/7 access to project logs, RFIs, contracts, and progress photos—keeping teams and owners fully informed in real time. In preconstruction, we use BuildingConnected, Timberline, and Primavera to enhance estimating, bidding, and scheduling. With both in-office and on-site systems, our team maintains transparency, accuracy, and efficiency—ensuring every project runs smoothly from planning through delivery.

Energy and Infrastructure

No project is complete without an exacting consideration of every building’s lifeblood: energy. We begin every build with a comprehensive energy strategy—analyzing demand, infrastructure, and distribution—to deliver efficient, sustainable solutions. For renovation projects in active facilities like hospitals and universities, we carefully phase work to maintain daily operations while minimizing disruption. By combining smart energy planning with precise phasing, Target Building ensures safety, continuity, and project momentum—delivering efficiency and reliable results across all stages.

Building Information Modeling (BIM)

Since 2014, Target Building Construction has leveraged Building Information Modeling (BIM) to enhance planning, design, construction, and facilities management. Our BIM expertise is deeply integrated into our process, providing owners with a comprehensive 3D as-built model complete with essential facilities management data.

We utilize BIM throughout coordination, construction, and post-occupancy, ensuring seamless integration of installed systems. Additionally, with BIM 360 Field, we streamline document management, field reporting, material tracking, and safety. This cloud-based platform puts critical information at our team’s fingertips, eliminating unnecessary delays and optimizing efficiency on every project.

Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) & Lean Construction

At Target Building, we apply Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) and Lean methods to maximize value and minimize waste on the specific projects. IPD fosters early collaboration—uniting owner, designer, contractor, and trades under shared goals—reducing miscommunication, change orders, and conflicts. Using Lean scheduling, including pull planning and a reverse-phase schedule (RPS), we eliminate bottlenecks by planning backward from project completion, ensuring prerequisites are met and durations realistic.
Decision-making is decentralized—those closest to the work have authority for weekly planning, fostering accountability and reliable commitments. Each subcontractor presents a weekly plan, tracked via Percent Plan Complete metrics for continuous improvement. This approach aligns teams, smooths workflow, and delivers efficient, predictable outcomes.

Pre-engineered Building

As the local Nucor Building Systems distributor, Target Building offers a cost-effective pre-engineered building option alongside our conventional contracting services. Nucor’s custom-engineered steel systems deliver clear-span spaces—ideal for churches, warehouses, manufacturing plants, and retail facilities. These flexible, factory-fabricated components reduce on-site labor and assembly time, often cutting costs by 20–30% and shortening timelines by up to 40%. With limitless design variations, durable recycled steel, and rapid construction, our pre-engineered solutions ensure efficiency, adaptability, and value—perfectly aligned with Target Building’s commitment to quality and innovation.
