A key part of their strategy has been diversification. While their initial focus was on industrial and manufacturing warehouses, they have expanded into national retail, multifamily, mixed-use, hospitality, automotive, medical, and more. "I envisioned a company that wasn't limited to a single type of project," Derek explains. "The goal behind this approach was to create a recession- resistant business." Adding Value at Every Stage Robbins Construction aims to be more than just a contractor; they strive to be a value-added partner. "When we develop a budget or an estimate for a project, we approach it with a different set of lenses," Derek says. "We don't just consider it from a contractor's standpoint; we also view it from the client's perspective." This involves offering suggestions for alternative materials, cost-saving ideas, and methods to expedite project completion. "We just don't want to be a third party to the project," Derek asserts. "We aim to be an integral part of the team and provide a value, that we're a trusted partner." Thomas elaborates on this approach, stating, "As a contractor, our focus is on how we can genuinely add value for our clients and build strong relationships with them. The level of detail that all of our teams deliver —from preconstruction through to the issuance of certificates of occupancy— reflects our commitment to transparency and effective communication." He highlights the importance of thorough evaluation and clear communication.
