“The team at Avant Construction Group adds value to every project they come across. As an architect, I appreciate Alan’s solution – oriented approach to problem solving and his ability to manage costs without compromising quality. Further, his respect for design and intuitive understanding of projects from an operational perspective are attributes rarely found amongst otherwise capable peers. Not to mention – he’s a pleasure to work with!”

Noah Marks, AIA, NCARB | ELM (Ervin Lovett Miller)

“We could not be happier with our experience with Avant Construction Group. This group has the experience and team to tackle any project, the project managers were fantastic from start to finish. Sam and Robin made it happen and were able to take on any challenge that presented itself. The leadership is outstanding, and most importantly, they got the job done on time. I will work this this team again.”

Daniel | Fore Score Golf Tavern

“We have a long history of productive collaboration with Avant…Their creative input into the design of our development portfolio has proven invaluable and their attention to detail during the construction process is unrivaled.”

Andy Allen | Corner Lot

“I can’t say enough about the Avant team. Avant started off the same as any other general contractor. Send them a project to bid and then compare their bid to others. However, that was the end of their comparison to other general contractors and the beginning of a new and refreshing experience. The Avant team approaches projects as an extension of the owner. They focus on design, cost vs value, ROI, etc which are all the items that are most important to an owner but rarely talked about by a GC. They have proven to be able to maximize the value in a project while delivering exceptional quality. I consider the Avant team as a critical partner and a key piece of our success.”

Adam Rigel | JWB Real Estate Capital

“To say I am an old customer of Avant is an understatement! I had the pleasure of working with them when I built out my retail gallery way back in 2005. They took what was almost an abandoned 1950s strip mall building and brought it back to life. I love the collaboration, passion, and care that they bring to their projects. I could not recommend more highly!!”

Leigh Fogle | Fogle Fine Arts

“Avant Construction Group and the entire team made us feel like family throughout the entire remodeling process. Despite the difficult building environment during our project, they ensured that we got the best quality build with the best possible prices, and that we fully understood each decision we needed to make to get the final result that we all wanted. They were not just a contractor, but a partner in the process.”

Jason Jones | Rethreaded

“Bold Line Design always enjoys collaborating with Avant Construction Group on creative projects! Their entire team brings a lot of passion, positivity, and eye for detail in everything they work on. Avant brought our office design to reality and the whole team did a wonderful job!”

Bruce Werner | Bold Line Design

“Fantastic general contractor!!! They are trustworthy, have a competent, hard working team, and a deep knowledge of multiple sectors within commercial construction as well as adaptive reuse. I can’t recommend them highly enough.”

Eric A | Silverstreet Management
