Faces of Shift with Advanced Reconstruction

Hey Turner! Tell us about the work you do at Advanced Reconstruction and introduce us to your team.

At Advanced Reconstruction, we are a Class B licensed General Contractor specializing in exterior reconstruction. This includes small repairs, and large projects of various scopes such as concrete restoration, exterior building envelopes, structural repairs, waterproofing, and much more. We primarily focus on HOA and Commercial properties that are in construction defect, have life safety issues, or need regular maintenance.

We are a team of 5 with various backgrounds in the same field. Myself, Shawn Morris, Dan Brannon, Jake Surface, and Sharon Donegan all have specific roles that keep the wheels turning.

What kind of culture have you built at Advanced Reconstruction, and how do you keep your team motivated and aligned?

We have cultivated a fast paced mindset focused on providing quality work and leading by example. We want people to want to be here and transfer that to our clients so they know we genuinely care about their communities and oftentimes, difficult projects.

Can you tell us the story behind Advanced Reconstruction — how did the company get started and what inspired its creation?

The company began in 2020 with the dream of being an entrepreneur and having freedom to build something from scratch, the way we wanted it. It came with 3 guys working in construction that saw many flaws in the industry and we were convinced we could put our heads together and do it better.

What sets Advanced Reconstruction apart from other companies in the area?

Advanced Reconstruction is a Class B Licensed General Contractor that hires based on core values regardless of experience. It’s the people that matter. Showing up is half the battle. Having a team that truly cares allows us to provide detailed scopes to our clients with a quick turnaround on estimates and excellent communication for small repairs and large projects.

How do you ensure quality and consistency across such diverse services?

Our company offers special warranties for projects with dedicated project managers. Through our diverse backgrounds in construction, along with our over 30 years combined experience, we have been able to vet our subcontractors and use our knowledge from real world experience and training to maintain top quality, striving to go above and beyond industry standard.

Customer satisfaction seems central to your business. Can you share a memorable client experience or success story?

In early June of 2024 we had a client in the Interlocken area hire a contractor to perform a concrete restoration and waterproofing project on a 35,000 square foot parking structure at a large apartment complex. Needless to say it was clear they had no clue what they were doing. With a project valuation of over half a million dollars, we were able to take over and remediate the situation and provide a quality product giving the client and their anxious tenants their parking back in a timely manner with a successful install that will last for over 10 years.

How has the industry evolved over the past few years, and how has Advanced Reconstruction adapted to those changes?

The construction industry is constantly changing from top to bottom. Keeping up to date with materials sciences, current product literature, skilled labor force, and municipalities pushing the latest building codes is a constant battle. We are major proponents in continued education. We involve our team in groups such as CAI, ICRI, AGCA, ABAA, CRA, and product training to gain knowledge and stay up to date with the latest in new engineering and architecture.

Can you walk us through what a first-time customer should expect?

Each time we meet a new customer it is important that we listen to their specific wants and needs. We regularly come across projects that most people would consider “the same thing” or “we have done this before”. Realistically no two projects are the same and each client is catered to based on their needs and financial abilities as a community. We promise to deliver expectations that are clearly communicated up front with the client.

As a fellow company running on EOS, how has implementing the Entrepreneurial Operating System influenced your growth, leadership, and overall business performance?

EOS has been a game changer. When we first launched we handled things as they came, on top of running the day to day operations. It can be quite hectic. EOS has allowed us to build positions that are specific roles within the company. EOS has given us an accountability factor, the structure to scale, communicate effectively, and work ON the business while staying focused on our niche, reconstructing communities.

What’s next for Advanced Reconstruction — any exciting plans or goals on the horizon?

Advanced Reconstruction is aiming to expand our services to other areas in Colorado. We are actively pursuing projects in CO Springs, FOCO, and in the Rocky Mountains. Our primary focus is controlled growth as we aim to reconstruct 1,000 communities over the next 10 years.

How has joining Shift Workspaces contributed to your growth and team morale? What are some of your favorite aspects about being a member at Shift Workspaces?

Shift has been a huge blessing for our company. At all of our different roles we began working remotely when COVID hit. Turns out rolling out of bed and going to an office next to your room or out in the kitchen isn’t always what it’s hopped up to be. At least after an extended period of time. Say 5 years to be exact. Shift has given us a place to wake up and commute to, have in person meetings, team collaboration, and an affordable space that allows us to grow. Overall the morale and productivity has boosted ten fold.
