Our Mission
We stand out in the building construction and property management industries for several reasons. First, we believe our relationships are as important as delivering unparalleled technical expertise. Our company consists of in-house, experienced and licensed tradespeople, maintenance professionals, and engineers that are dedicated and trusted members of the Brad-Core family. We want you to consider them an extension of your staff and family as well!
Second, we pride ourselves on doing our utmost to meet the needs of clients that have limited time, desire, or ability to manage their residential or commercial properties. To do so, we have created a single point-of-contact concierge membership which allows us to take care of all your property maintenance, pre-construction, and construction needs. Our list of services is endless: inception to cleanup, emergency response to long term capital planning, new construction, renovations, maintenance, mechanical systems, design and consulting services. Our goal is to give you peace of mind!
At Brad-Core, we take our commitment to building relationships one step further by volunteering and focusing our resources on the well-being of the residents of our community. We love to build walls, but building bridges is even better!
“Humanism in Building” at its best.
