What Premier Construction & Design does

Premier Construction & Design is a privately held commercial construction firm founded in 1987 and headquartered in Farmington Hills, Michigan. The company delivers design-build, general contracting, construction management, pre-construction, site selection, architectural design, tenant improvement, and commercial renovation services to enterprise developers, property owners, tenants, and asset managers across Southeast Michigan and the greater Midwest. The firm reports completion of more than 1,500 projects spanning office and corporate headquarters, industrial and R&D facilities, multifamily and adaptive reuse, retail and restaurant, medical and healthcare, and hospitality verticals, with notable logos including FANUC (671,100 SF R&D and logistics facility in Auburn Hills), Faurecia (300,000 SF North American headquarters), Hino/Toyota (125,000 SF North American headquarters), US Farathane (240,000 SF world headquarters), INCOE, PGAM, and multifamily projects such as Tremont Madison and Red Arrow Lofts.

The company's central operating model is an Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) framework that aligns in-house licensed architects, pre-construction planners, and construction execution teams under one contract. Design and construction services are delivered by a small core team (11-50 employees), led by Senior Vice President Jim Parrinello, Director Bruce Brickman, Director of Construction Services Zack Boisvert (LEED AP BD+C), Director of Architectural Services Kristen Buring (AIA, LEED AP), and Business Development Manager Tony Alston, with heavy reliance on established subcontractor and supplier networks for field execution. Premier holds LEED, EnergyStar, OSHA 30, and USGBC credentials, supporting access to projects requiring documented sustainability and safety compliance.

Revenue is generated through project-based fixed-price, cost-plus, and negotiated commercial construction contracts; pricing is quote-based and project-specific. The go-to-market motion is sales-led enterprise field sales supplemented by senior leadership relationship development, with a corporate website, downloadable brochures, and LinkedIn serving as the principal marketing channels. The firm is privately held with no disclosed parent company, institutional investors, or acquisition activity.
