The Flintco DifferenceTM Flintco is Native American owned and ranks among the largest commercial contractors in the

nation, however we are not primarily in the brick and mortar business; we are in the people

business and what we offer our clients are the finest construction professionals in the industry.

To wear the Flintco brand requires unsurpassed knowledge and experience in providing

constructive solutions, the ability to enjoy a challenge, being driven to deliver, taking pride in

one’s work and exuding a natural spirit of service. Flintco is committed accomplishing our

Mission of hiring, developing and retaining the best construction professionals and being the

best company to work for. The result: Flintco offers the best people to work for you.

Native American HeritageOklahoma was transitioning from Indian Territory to statehood just as the company that was

to become Flintco was founded by C. W. Flint, Sr. It is with this same spirit of family, hard

work, and pride in a job well done that has guided Flintco’s maturing today as a leading

general contractor with more than 1,100 employees. Despite our growth and ranking Flintco

remains a privately-held Native American-owned company – now in its third generation of Flint

family ownership.

As the largest Native American–owned contractor in the world, Flintco is honored to be

selected as the contractor of choice based upon our experience in Indian Country. The Redbird

Smith Health Center in Sallisaw, Okla. marked the beginning of Flintco’s long list of Native

American building projects. Today, the tradition continues through many successful

partnerships that have been forged with over 65 Indian Nations – a reflection of Flintco’s

understanding and honoring of each distinctive culture.

At Flintco, we are proud of our contributions to improving the quality of life for NativeAmericans on tribal lands around the country by building much-needed facilities, including:

community centers, gaming venues, health care facilities, hospitality and leisure projects,

retail centers and schools.

In addition to generating jobs and promoting self reliance, the people of Flintco are helping

deliver a brighter future for Native Americans throughout the U.S. through the construction of

these facilities.

Building Better Communities

Sensitivity to cultural nuances and respect for traditional values has placed Flintco in a position

to best meet each Native American client’s needs. By including the tribe, pueblo, or rancheria

as a fully vested team member throughout the construction process, Flintco is able to cultivate

mutually beneficial relationships that result in a project that truly reflects the community.

Developing Constructive Solutions goes far beyond the construction of a facility. At Flintco, we

also actively seek ways in which we can help build better communities by supporting economic

growth that focuses on a concerted effort in mentoring Native American and minority

subcontractors, as well as hiring and training Native American workers. Since receiving our

first Tribal Employment Rights Certification in 1991, Flintco has obtained certifications from

many additional tribes who recognize our concerted efforts to provide meaningful employment

and training opportunities.

Flintco’s commitment to establishing training programs in the construction trades provides

Native American workers the ability to develop skills in carpentry and other crafts they can

take back to their communities – skills that last a lifetime. Over the years, Flintco has been

honored with such awards as the National Minority Business Advocate of the Year award from

the U.S. Department of Commerce for outstanding performance in the service industry and

excellent service to the minority community. For additional insight into the caliber of Flintco

Hospitality: Experience Flintco’s Five-Star ServiceOne doesn’t have to travel far to experience the quality and superior service that are

hallmarks of every Flintco construction project. We’ve built a five-star reputation in the lodging

industry – from destination resorts and casino hotels to boutique accommodations and

national chain motels. When the grand opening depends on construction commitments beingkept, clients know they can depend on Flintco to deliver on their promises. In anticipation of

that first guest gracing the doorway, hotel developers and facilities managers alike call on

Flintco’s hospitality expertise to provide constructive solutions to accommodations that will

stand the test of time.

property, our hospitality clients can rest assured Flintco is here to stay.

Putting Technology to WorkFor Flintco, keeping up with technology means more than just purchasing the latest scheduling

and project control programs. Developing proprietary technological advances and a solid

database of information are just a few of the ways we’ve institutionalized innovation at Flintco.

Our individual project Web sites and “extranet” capabilities ensure secured sharing of project

status and contract documents – including real-time Web cams, the latest project progress

photos, and up-to-the-minute drawings to ensure all team members are on the same page –

throughout the life of the project. Clients rely on Flintco for detailed and individualized project

information.

A secured infrastructure provided by Flintco’s in-house Information Technology team supports

project communication round-the-clock. Flintco clients and team members – from designersand end users to subcontractors and agency reviewers – can participate in virtual

communication through video conferencing in each of our nine offices throughout the U.S.

Utilizing technology rather than travel makes good business sense – in both budget and time

savings.

Being able to keep our finger on the pulse of your project and provide accurate status reports

at virtually any point along the way is just one element of Flintco’s project delivery system.

PreconstructionImagine being able to foresee stumbling blocks in your construction project far in advance of

breaking ground. That is precisely what involving Flintco in the preconstruction design effort

allows you to do – address questions up front to reduce the chance of surprises down the

road.

Seeing the Big Picture

Having a handle on the entire building process – from planning and conceptual design through

construction and grand opening – is important to Flintco clients who like to envision the big

picture. Equally important is knowing what it’s all going to cost long before construction

begins. Bringing Flintco into the picture for preconstruction allows our clients to make

informed decisions based on solid input.

In concert with the owner, designers and engineers, Flintco develops a feasible, cost-effective

budget though the use of such tools as value analysis, constructability reviews, and phasing

plans. Together, we identify challenges and define solutions up front, rather than experiencing

issues in the field. The result – our clients receive the benefit of saving both time and money

with sound budgets prepared by Flintco in the preconstruction phase that they can literally

“take to the bank”.

Construction ManagementWhen Flintco provides Construction Management (CM) services, we are selected based on

project expertise, staff qualifications, and track record of performance. This assures our clients

are getting the best value for their construction dollars.

Keeping Time

With Flintco’s Construction Management services, clients control the project while our

experienced CM team of experts handle the day-to-day construction issues and keep the

project on track.

Sticking to Budgets

Our CM experts can identify cost-effective solutions to project challenges that respect your

design intent and comply with overall project objectives.

Lowering Risk

Committing to a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) – assuring that the project will be

constructed for no more than the amount in the signed contract is one way Flintco helps

owners reduce risk. As your client representative, we apply our century of construction

experience to every project – reducing your risk as well as your worries.

Design-BuildThe hallmark of a Design-Build project is that only one organization is responsible to the

owner for both the design and construction of the facility, which fosters communication and

team focus on the project objectives. Flintco has proven the merit of this single-point-of-

contact time and again having successfully executed design-build construction projects – from

schools and prisons to hotels and hospitals.

Speeding Delivery While Maintaining Quality

Since construction in the Design-Build project delivery method runs concurrently with the

design process, your project can be completed more quickly than the traditional linear method

or contracting offer.

As drawings are developed, Flintco serves as a single point of contact working with the

designers to help define functional requirements, hone the budget, and streamline the

schedule. Our ability to identify long-lead items, phase construction, and prepare bid packages

that make sense has proven to save months on the schedule, reduce change orders, and save

Flintco clients millions in design and construction costs.

Program and Project ManagementWhether you are pursuing the construction of one project or are faced with the seemingly

daunting task of a multi-building program, Flintco makes the complex process of building

easier. With Flintco’s comprehensive Program and Project Management services, we will

coordinate every aspect of your construction – from project planning and hiring a design team

to scheduling and cost estimating, and the nitty-gritty details of government statute

compliance to the day-to-day details involved in technical and management support.

Taking the Guesswork Out of Decision Making

As your single point of contact, Flintco provides cohesive management from start to finish so

you understand the precise timeline and dollar impact of each decision. At every point along

the way you will be able to know where we are in the schedule, be provided a count-down to

your occupancy date and red-flagging of any items requiring owner action, offered an analysis

of materials quality and life cycle costing as they relate to operations and maintenance

decisions, and see an up-to-the-minute estimate of costs.

Our pledge to you is that Flintco will provide accurate, relevant information so you can make

informed decisions at all stages of project development. We’ve proven time and again that you

can save both time and money by utilizing Flintco’s Program and Project Management Services

– that’s what our clients call the "Flintco peace of mind."
