Markets
Faith-Based / Community
Brookstone builds community facilities for faith-based and non-profit organizations that are mission-centered on serving their communities. Our commitment to the faith-based/community market is reinforced by the many volunteer activities and leadership positions undertaken by Brookstone staff.
Delivering the most building for the budget, providing energy-efficient and low-maintenance facilities, and maintaining safe access to occupied buildings are key goals in Brookstone’s approach to these projects. We also seek in-depth understanding of the organization’s goals and needs and embrace their core mission — whether they are fulfilling basic human necessities like food, clothing, shelter and financial counseling; building places to grow and develop faith; or supporting more emotionally complex needs such as substance use disorders, grief and mental health.
At the end of the day, Brookstone builds places where people come together to experience community.
Commercial
Municipal
Industrial / Aviation
While these two markets offer distinct differences, they have many similarities including highly scrutinized safety regulations, a focus on technical quality assurance, and strict schedule requirements. Brookstone boasts best-in-class safety performance processes and metrics, as well as staff experienced in matters of technical building science, and the ability to develop schedules that truly guide the project to successful completion.
Recognizing that safety is imperative when working in aviation environments and industrial plant sites, Brookstone maintains membership with ISNetworld, keeps employees up-to-date on Houston Area Safety Council training and administers employee background checks. Having built aviation and industrial facilities for several Fortune 500 companies, we are accustomed to working with comprehensive corporate standards for procurement, construction materials, equipment and procedures.
Education
Brookstone understands that schools want to maximize cost effectiveness in initial construction with a balanced eye toward life cycle and maintenance costs. We know that delivering an energy-efficient, durable, low-maintenance building will help deter deferred maintenance issues over the facility’s life. We also are highly cognizant of the need to synchronize construction completion with school semesters, giving faculty, administrative staff, and facilities maintenance personnel sufficient time to become conversant with operations before the school bell rings.
With the consistent demand for collaborative and innovative learning environments such as STEM and CTE, both at the K-12 level, and in the higher education arena, Owners are looking for partners who will provide the expertise and leadership to adhere to budget requirements and schedule adherence. Brookstone is your educational facility partner.
There are many safety challenges with construction projects on an active educational campus. Brookstone is experienced in working in environments with background check requirements outlined by each Owner that meet or exceed the applicable laws. Additionally, these projects require carefully orchestrated phasing and work sequences, without compromising the project schedule, or more importantly, adversely affecting the academic calendar. Brookstone has an impressive track-record of meticulously orchestrating equipment and material deliveries, and separates construction crew traffic from staff and student access.
