OUR APPROACH
FOR THE TOUGHEST CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS
INLINE’s team of experts is ready to lead your project from preconstruction planning through smooth, safe field execution.
A large-scale commercial construction project has so many moving parts, from budget and schedule to site logistics and safety; how do you keep it all under control?
INLINE combines state-of-the-art construction management tools with old-school construction know-how to control every aspect of your project.
We Collaborate
Working closely with you, the design team, and key subcontractors, we develop accurate estimates and schedules you can depend on.
We Lead
Our job site teams aren’t bogged down by office bureaucracy; they are empowered to make the day-to-day decisions that keep the project moving forward.
We Innovate
When unforeseen challenges arise – and they always do – Inline’s results-focused approach delivers creative solutions that add value and get job done.
All INLINE projects are methodically organized on a foundation of risk mitigation, site-specific safety plans, value-focused preconstruction, pre-task planning, and rigorous project tracking and documentation. All the resources of our company are dedicated to the success of your project!
As a general contractor AND a construction manager, INLINE offers a comprehensive range of services focused on reducing risk and delivering assured outcomes. Schedules you can depend on and budgets you can take to the bank are only the beginning.

Safety is our First Priority
Our belief is that a job well done is one that gets our workers home safe every night. On every project, big and small, we create a Project Safety Plan that is specific to that project’s risks and challenges. Once the team agrees we’ve identified the key safety risks in the plan, we put that plan into place and then adhere to rigorous safety protocols from start to finish.
Collaborative Project Scheduling
A project schedule is always evolving. Our approach to mitigating schedule risks is to first create a baseline project schedule that reflects reality; we engage the owner, designer, and trade partners early to get team buy in. Then, as construction progresses, we stay nimble, look for efficiencies where we can gain time, and continue to keep a realistic schedule that everyone can stay committed to all the way to close out.
Quality is Key
A project built fast but poorly is a waste of everyone’s time and money. We believe in building it once, the right way. Starting with our Enhanced Constructability review process, we quickly identify challenging scopes and project elements. Then we work with the design team and trade partners to determine what mock-ups need to be built, so the team can work through those issues before construction begins. This process is the foundation of a rigorous QA/QC plan on every project to ensure things are built to the highest possible standards and in accordance with the construction documents.
Enhanced Constructability Review
We won’t just tell you “It can’t be built.” We leverage our experience to collaborate with the design team to find the most efficient and cost-effective solutions to your project. Using the latest BIM and VDC tools, we maximize the constructability of your project before any work begins. By identifying design and constructability issues in the digital realm, before they become field problems, we avoid re-work and get the best value from your construction budget.
Project-First Budgeting
Not all projects have the same priorities and goals, especially when it comes to how to spend the budget. We sit down early with you and the design team to prioritize the key goals of the project and understand your specific budget priorities. We then leverage our trusted trade partners to get early costing information, so that when we bid your project, we enter the market with cost certainty.
Self-Perform Capabilities
INLINE’s in-house resources enable us to self-perform numerous trades. Performing key scopes with our own forces improves project control and reduces risk.
Sustainability
INLINE’s commitment to lean and sustainable construction practices is reflected in everything we do, from the office to the job site. By carefully managing the coordination of trades and maximizing off-site fabrication, we reduce waste, increase efficiency, and improve safety.

Take a Look at Our Work
Multnomah County Central Library
This project involved the construction of two new exterior terraces on either side of the main entrance at Multnomah County's Central Library.
Swegle Elementary School
This project involved the construction of six new classrooms, as well as a modern cafeteria and kitchen. Additionally, a multipurpose fitness room was added, and a new covered play area was built.
Sumpter
Elementary School
The school benefited from the addition of five new classrooms, significantly expanding its capacity to accommodate more students.
