Ground Up Construction

Whatever It Takes

If you can envision it, we can build it.

If you’re looking to build an office, store, restaurant, or other commercial building from the ground up, we can estimate, manage, implement, and complete your ground up construction project. At your initial site visit, our commercial estimator will walk the lot with you, determine the appropriate sized building, and discuss your project in more detail and what a ground-up project entails.

When you do a ground-up construction project with us, we’re your sole contact. Your project will be assigned to a job manager who will manage every aspect of your build for you. Our team will do everything, including:

Applying for all necessary permits
Completing architectural and engineering work
Performing detailed building inspections
Scheduling subcontractors
Communicating and coordinating with vendors
Managing every aspect of the build and design

All you have to do is sit back and watch your commercial building come to life. Contact us today to speak with our commercial estimator and discuss your ground up construction project.

MOD Pizza

2401 E Market St, York, PA 17402

Job Summary
BLM Construction purchased the lot located at the corner of Memory Lane and East Market Street in York, PA, with the intent to build a commercial property to lease. After several site design concepts, we settled on a 2,640 sq. ft. building with 26 parking spaces. The building features a kitchen, restrooms, cement patio and walkway, and indoor and outdoor customer seating areas. Being in the township overlay, we were required to have a certain number of trees, bushes, and benches in addition to installing specialty street lighting.

Key Challenges
1. Constructing a large building with ample parking, lush greenery, sidewalks, and ADA accessibility on a very small lot.
2. The site is on the corner of an extremely busy intersection in the Springettsbury Township Overlay.
3. Little parking and heavy traffic meant it was difficult getting trades and material in and out of the location.
4. The lot sits on two state roads posing challenges of determining right of ways, medians, and submitting to PennDot for approvals.

Fun Fact
The HVAC system needed to be designed with consideration that there was a kitchen generating a great deal of heat due to the pizza oven.

"I had a total bathroom remodel completed by BLM and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. Everyone I worked with — from the estimator to the project manager to the designer — was extremely responsive. Jeff, the project manager, did an excellent job of checking in with me, keeping me updated on the status of the project and aware of any issues. He also ensured that everything was perfect upon completion. All of the workers were pleasant and respectful while working in my home. I absolutely love my new bathroom, which was completed sooner and faster than expected. The next time I need anything done, BLM will be my first stop!"

"We had an old stone garage floor redone with a concrete finish. The finished floor is beautiful! Our job manager, Jeff was knowledgeable and professional. Every step of the job from estimate to final finish was clearly communicated and on time. This is the second home remodeling job BLM completed for us, and we will contact them for any and all work we need in the future."

"Outstanding professionalism, honesty, integrity, and communication. Very customer oriented. Excellent online tool (Buildertrend) used to track progress, see project timeline, and make payments quickly and easily. BLM will be first on my list for any future projects where I need this type of service. Thanks Barry and Heidi!!"

"Absolutely thrilled with our garage addition! We couldn't be happier with the work BLM did on our garage addition! From the initial consultation to the final finishing touches, everything was handled with professionalism, expertise, and genuine care. Rob kept us informed every step of the way, with clear explanations and updates. The entire crew was friendly, courteous, and respectful of our property. We highly recommend BLM to anyone considering a home improvement project. They are truly a top-notch company that delivers exceptional results with outstanding customer service."

"We had a side-room with a bathroom remodeled, walls, ceiling, flooring and lights & fixtures. BLM was professional and friendly to work with in all aspects, from estimate to finish. All of the craftsman took the time to complete everything in fine details. We are 100% satisfied with the work, the time-frame, and the cost."

"I want to thank BLM for all of the community outreach they do. I have participated each year when they take holiday donations for Cornerstone Youth Home and Olivia's house. The staff is always pleasant and welcoming, especially Dannie! It's refreshing to see a company that takes such pride in not only their workmanship but also giving back to the community. 10 out of 10 recommend!"

"BLM Construction came highly recommended, and after remodeling our kitchen, hallway, and handicap bathroom, it is clear why. Working with Heidi, Barry, Rob and the team at BLM gave us peace of mind as we completed this large project. They were consistent with their communication and timetable, professional in their demeanor, and thorough in their work. These spaces were transformed from their vintage feel into the most elite rooms in our house, and we are proud to share that the work was done by BLM Construction. We will absolutely be working with them in the future!"

"The BLM crew did a good job of keeping the project progressing and finishing up on time even with some rain days. They worked with us to make adjustments to the design on the fly and worked within our budget. Overall a good experience with the crew from BLM!"

"After searching through numerous contractors we settled on BLM and we are glad we did. We remodeled our entire first floor, requiring removal of load bearing walls and an entire gutting of our home. We lived upstairs during the process and BLM construction was fantastic to work with. Day or night they answered our calls. Dan was our Project Manager and we couldn’t have asked for anyone else better to handle the job. As this large of a project there were bound to be issues and problems that come up but Dan and team were quick to tackle them and really did an incredible job. If you’re looking looking for a great contractor look no further than Barry and team at BLM."

"Just great people to work with. Honest, timely and really know what they are talking about. Especially when it comes to their attention to detail with commercial work. I could not recommend them more highly. You can definitely tell they love what they do. Thank you!"

"Outstanding professionalism, honesty, integrity, and communication. Very customer oriented. Excellent on line tool (Buildertrend) used to track progress, see project timeline, and make payments quickly and easily. BLM will be first on my list for any future projects where I need this type of service. Thanks Barry and Heidi!!"

"This company is top notch. The customer service is second to none, professional team that's always responsive, top tier product, and by far just a friendly company. I would highly recommend BLM for any construction needs."

"Used BLM to remodel our bathroom earlier in the year and was so pleased with the result, we went to them first when considering our full kitchen remodel. Project Manager, Ryan, was very attentive. I had to work with the counter and cabinet vendors myself and BLM did the rest. Came together better than expected!"

"Barry, Ross, and their team did a great job for us on our siding and waterproofing project. It was a complicated job to get access to and a lot of existing conditions to work around. They came prepared with a game plan and made it happen on time and on budget. We will be using them next time for sure!"
