Our Approach.
Why Erland.
At Erland, our approach to construction is grounded in collaboration, innovation, and a commitment to delivering high-quality results. We believe in creating a fully integrated project experience, one where client needs, team expertise, and seamless execution come together to produce outstanding outcomes.
At EMD Serono, the work we do is impactful and transformative. Having a trusted partner like Erland by our side ensures we can continue pursuing innovations that better the lives of patients around the world.”

Our preconstruction services lay the foundation for successful project execution by addressing key factors early in the process. We partner with clients, architects, and engineers from the start to clearly define project scope, develop realistic budgets, and create detailed timelines. This proactive approach allows us to identify and resolve potential challenges before they arise, ensuring smooth and efficient project delivery. Through in-depth site assessments, constructability reviews, and value engineering, we provide valuable insights that help optimize design and reduce costs without sacrificing quality.
We leverage Building Information Modeling (BIM) to streamline project coordination and enhance communication. By utilizing BIM, we are able to manage complex project details, reduce conflicts, and optimize the construction process from preconstruction through to completion. BIM enhances our ability to plan, visualize, and execute with precision, minimizing errors and delays while improving overall project efficiency.

Our deep expertise in Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, and Fire Protection (MEP-FP) systems allows us to address the complex needs of modern facilities. From life sciences labs to advanced technology spaces, we understand how critical it is to integrate MEP-FP systems efficiently and safely. Our teams work closely with MEP-FP engineers to ensure that these systems are seamlessly incorporated into the building design, meet regulatory standards, and provide optimal performance throughout the lifecycle of the building.
Ensuring quality is the cornerstone of every project, supported by a comprehensive program designed to deliver excellence through rigorous processes and dedicated oversight. Tailored quality assurance plans integrate peer reviews, meticulous inspections, and the use of Procore for real-time tracking of project details. A full-time Quality Control Coordinator leads these efforts, conducting audits, maintaining the Lessons Learned database, and ensuring warranty compliance. Specialized reviews, including HVAC peer evaluations and third-party facade assessments, verify system performance and building envelope integrity. Mock-ups, benchmarks, and first-delivery inspections establish and uphold quality standards, while the Observations Log fosters accountability and swift issue resolution. These measures enable Erland to deliver superior results, minimize risks, and enhance the client experience.
Safety is woven into the fabric of every project we undertake. We actively participate in the CARE program and prioritize the implementation of best-in-class safety practices across our jobsites. Our in-house safety committee ensures that safety is not just a policy but a culture that guides how we work every day. We employ innovative safety strategies, including Prevention through Design (PtD), to minimize risks and enhance the overall quality of the project.

At Erland, sustainability is a key consideration in every phase of construction. We have extensive experience in building to the highest standards, including LEED, WELL Building Standards, and Passive House principles. We also stay ahead of the curve by staying informed on the latest energy codes and integrating cutting-edge sustainable technologies into our construction approach. Whether it's through reducing energy consumption, improving indoor air quality, or using renewable materials, our projects reflect our commitment to sustainability and a better built environment for future generations.
COLAB Solutions.
Erland's COLAB Solutions model is central to how we work. By fostering collaboration across disciplines, we create integrated teams that bring together diverse expertise to solve challenges, accelerate timelines, and improve efficiency. This approach ensures that all stakeholders—clients, architects, engineers, and subcontractors—are aligned from day one, allowing us to meet project goals with precision and flexibility. The result is a smoother process, reduced risk, and higher-quality outcomes for every project.

Here was the partner we were searching for—here was the partner we needed. What stands out in my memory from that very first meeting wasn’t just their reputation and professional accomplishments, but their shared values: a commitment to team, to family, and most importantly, to advancing the interests of children and families.”
