Katerra is transforming through technology - every process and every product.
Smarter building. Better communities. For everyone.
Katerra was founded due to an overwhelming need for change within the industries that create our built environment.
While other major industries have radically modernized, construction still employs many practices first introduced more than 100 years ago. As a result, productivity is falling, costs are rising, the construction workforce is shrinking, quality is variable, and demand outpaces supply.
As a technology-led, end-to-end construction services partner, Katerra answers all of these challenges. We are creating new value for our partners by optimizing every aspect of building development, design, and construction.

Katerra considers preconstruction the most important phase of any project.
The ability to align the interests, objectives and practices of all team members at this early stage in the construction cycle is an amazingly
accurate predictor of project success.
Realized Construction should never come at the cost of Envisioned Design
We immediately distance ourselves from our competition by being open and empathetic to the vision you have created. In many cases projects have been in preliminary planning stages for years before we become part of the team. Our first goal is to clearly understand your goals and objectives.
Our place at the table is earned by bringing specific marketplace expertise to design and constructibility discussions. Our team thrives on responsibility and accountability, and we aim to employ our knowledge and experience to their fullest extent. Our reputation in the industry is that of a great teammate, a claim backed up by the fact that over 85% of our business comes from our existing clientele.

At Katerra, we believe in an integrated and collaborative project delivery approach, utilizing the Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) process and Building Information Modeling (BIM) as Lean tools to deliver a safe, cost-effective, timely, and complete project. Katerra is unique in that we create a Single Source of Truth Model (SSTM) for each of our projects, populated by BIM information as early as the civil, structural and landscaping phases. This ensures complete coordination at the earliest stages and prevents costly schedule disruptions. Through a transparent, collaborative approach, we can lower the costs of project delivery while increasing efficiency and profitability for our partners.
Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) Our five main goals are:
Use BIM to virtually construct the building in its entirety – Enable clash detection
Create a collaborative environment based on a common platform – Reduce RFI’s
Manage change – Minimize schedule impacts
Manage construction documents – Reduce costs
Minimize risk exposure – Increase Safety

Block Scheduling
Key goals of our Block Schedule approach include:
Prevent schedule disruption and sub-trade bottlenecks through dynamic scheduling
Create predictable outcomes by basing production rates on known manpower
Maximize productivity by continuous communication on a common platform with all trades
At Katerra, we have developed a scheduling system, internally known as the “Block Schedule,” to allow us to maintain trade flow, minimize crew sizes and identify with certainty the end date of the project. Our project team will work closely with all trades to develop a five-day work plan, sequencing workflow to produce a predictable production rate with known manpower while days six and seven are used to adjust to stay on schedule.

Technology Used During Preconstruction and Construction Phases
Project Management Systems At Katerra, we are fully integrated with Procore. Procore is a widely used construction management software that helps us boost project accountability and efficiency by mobilizing and streamlining project documentation and communication. This real-time data and accessibility reduces expensive delays and risks while boosting reliable results.
The software facilitates unlimited collaboration enabling us to work with anyone, from anywhere, in real time. It is a collaborative and mobile all-in-one platform designed to streamline our construction project management. The software offers what we need to
Simplifies project financial reporting
Clears punch lists more quickly
Keeps drawings central to the project
Minimizes rework with real-time access to the most updated drawings out in the field
Resolves information gaps or conflicts and increase RFI response time
Saves time by organizing and locating our submittals faster
standardize our processes. Procore is a drawing-centric application. It places everything our team needs (photos, punch lists, RFIs, submittals) into the current drawing set to enable every team member to access and use them when they need it.
Katerra works diligently to remain on the leading edge of remote connectivity and presence. With our Plus Trailers, remote site cameras, and telepresence technologies like Microsoft Skype for Business and Zoom, the jobsite and Katerra are just a click away no matter your location.
Katerra is at the forefront of our industry - we implement performance analytics and data measurement throughout construction
All of our historical project data is fed into our business intelligence software. The data is then analyzed for typical benchmarks and leading indicators for project health.
S-curve
Katerra utilizes S-curve analysis for schedule validation and compliance. Our wide array of multifamily performance curves give us standard metrics that allow us to measure our team’s actual performance. High-rises, wood framing-over-podiums, garden style walk ups and projects with parking below grade have specific cost characteristics as all building types cross the time/cost threshold at different stages.

Transparency begins with understanding…
At Katerra, we take special care to ensure a wholly transparent experience from beginning to end. Our open-book process invites our customers’ input and encourages dialogue to reach a price that satisfies all parties based on a thorough understanding of what makes up that price. Once a fair price is determined, Katerra owns the responsibility of delivering the project at that price.
As we create and update estimates, qualify subcontractors and abstract their bid proposals, every line item, clarification and assumption will be shared with the owners’ group. As the final GMP is prepared, no line item or element will be beyond the owner’s right to review and comprehend. To aid in the process, we invite any and all of the owner’s team to sit with us in our conference room as we perform sub bid analytics and document GMP clarifications.
Bid Solicitation
We assemble a list of preferred subcontractor bidders for each trade of the project. Once this list is complete, we sit down with
the ownership team to review and refine the sub invitation list
Bid Scoping
As bids are received and tabulated, we invite the ownership team to join us in this process. Each bidder is contacted and a detailed review of what’s in their scope begins. Lower bidders are fully check listed and vetted, until, at the end of this phase, all bids are “apples-to-apples”.
Master Bid Analysis Review
When all bids have been posted and abstracted, it is time to begin the final review of each individual bid tabs. Once again, we invite the owner to participate in the final step of determining the ultimate GMP. The agreed-upon firm is selected, and the spreadsheet posts him automatically as the low bidder on the Top Sheet. This process continues until all subcontractors have been selected. Now attention moves to the Top Sheet. What the owner will see here is a subtotal of direct costs (the sum total of all the selected subcontractors). Following the direct costs are the indirects such as Fee, SDI (or bond), Sales Tax and Contractor’s Contingency. General Conditions will likewise be reviewed and once agreed upon, Katerra is willing to lock in the GC’s. Together, these will form the basis of the GMP and the Schedule of Values (SOV).
Our approach during these important points of preconstruction provide a transparent, collaborative platform that assures the owner complete visibility as to the final disposition of every construction dollar.
Collaborative, Open Book Process
Post-Tension Concrete Experience
Katerra’s post-tensioning experience can be found on a wide range of prestigious projects nationwide. We have successfully put in place more than a 10,000,000 SF of PT. We recently completed two large (14 story +) post-tensioned structures in record time, cycling a 25,000 SF floor every week. Owners value us for delivering on our promise of dependability, our high level of technical expertise, and our ability to navigate complicated structural and construction challenges. Katerra executives make regular visits to every PT project we build. In the end, our responsibility—on each and every project—is to assure exceptional product quality, competitive pricing and timely delivery that results in the best value for our clients.
The Link’s rooftop ammenity area
Our preconstruction approach is to work collaboratively with the architect during design review, performing constructibility reviews as detail is added to the drawings. We approach this review with the goal of helping the architect create a more “biddable” set of drawings. Our estimators evaluate the drawings by quantifying different scopes of work from the perspective of a subcontractor pricing the project (such as masonry, steel or drywall).
These observations are then collected by our team as Design Review Comments, which will be thoroughly reviewed with the architect. After the architect makes the DRC modifications, our preconstruction team will again review the revised documents to make sure each item was properly addressed.
Our clients appreciate our constructibility process because it consistently produces tangible results:
Constructibility reviews will be performed twice during the preconstruction services process, at the 80% design-development and 80% construction-drawing phases.
More competitive subcontractor bids - Details needed for tighter bidding are on the drawings.
Fewer subcontractor change orders - Drawings are more concise for scoping and contracting.
Reduced RFIs during construction - The project is built as drawn, jobsite production maintained.

When Katerra looked for leadership for their construction efforts on the east coast, James and Robert Caulfield, were immediately identified as difference makers. With the acquisition of Fields Construction, Katerra found a company with a long history of success in the New Jersey marketplace. Founded in 1933 by James and Robert’s grandfather, Patrick Caulfield, Sr., Fields Development Group gave the two Caulfield brothers an in-depth education into the entire development process, with their father and uncle focusing on engineering and architecture.
When James and Robert emerged from college in the late 90’s, they immediately moved into the construction arena and began the hands-on process of learning the industry. Drawing on the lessons instilled in them by their father and grandfather, they focused on analyzing every aspect of a potential project, most importantly the long-term effect each development had on the community that surrounds it.
Today, James and Robert continue the legacy set before them, looking to constantly find ways to build better ad smarter. They believe strongly in the mission that Katerra has laid out: “Transforming through technology – every process and every product.” James and Robert continue to give Katerra East guidance and leadership, bringing engineering, architecture and GC expertise to our team.
