COMMERCIAL GENERAL CONTRACTOR · PITTSBURGH · SINCE 2002
The general contractor architects bring in early.
For 23 years, we’ve been the Pittsburgh partner design firms and multi-site operators call before the drawings are final — because that’s when value engineering, sub selection, and landlord verification actually change the number.

WHY BRING US IN EARLY
The earlier you bring us in, the more the number moves.
Bids are the last place value engineering works. By the time drawings are final, 80% of the cost is already locked in.
01 · PRE-LEASE SITE VISITS
We walk the space before you sign.
We verify HVAC tonnage, electrical service, structural loads, and ADA paths against the actual drawings — not the listing sheet.
A client was told the space came with 40-ton HVAC. We confirmed 20 tons. They renegotiated the lease and avoided a $180K retrofit.
02 · VALUE ENGINEERING
We read the set for cost and lead time.
We flag long-lead items, source alternatives that preserve the designer’s intent, and hand the architect ranked VE options — not objections.
Spec’d pendant fixture had an 8-month lead time. We sourced a visually identical alternative that shipped in 2 weeks.
03 · SUBCONTRACTOR NETWORK
We bid for fit, not for cheapest.
Our trade list has been earned over 23 years. Every sub on it has delivered to our standard under our schedule. The cheap bid flakes at week six.
90% of our clients come back. That is the only sub-selection metric that matters — ours and theirs.
A PARTNERSHIP, NOT A BID
Project management built on relationships — with architects, designers, and subcontractors.
Since 2002, Dillon Renovations has managed commercial renovations, tenant fit-outs, restaurant build-outs, and custom homes across Southwest Pennsylvania. We specialize in the work design firms and multi-site operators keep coming back for.
From start to finish, we manage every step. Licensed and insured professionals, superior installation standards, weekly status, change-order discipline — and a finished project on time.
