WORKING TOGETHER AT THE SPEED OF CONSTRUCTION
As Contractors you work long hours, coordinate numerous trade contractors, oversee multiple project deadlines and budgets, mitigate on-site hazards, and manage owner expectations on a daily basis. Succeeding in this industry takes fast-paced collaboration, price-driven decision making, real-time documentation, an overall “safety first” mentality, and most importantly, the drive to do what it takes to make a project successful. However, job site emergencies, uncooperative weather, unresponsive consultants, inconsistent plans, and unforeseen site conditions can all contribute to inflated schedules, blown budgets, and unhappy owners. To navigate these and many other construction phase challenges, it is important to have a team member that listens to you, provides on-call solutions, and approaches your projects with a sense of urgency.
Draper Aden Contractor Assist is our overall commitment to being part of the reason schedules are met, not the reason projects are delayed. Through nearly five decades of construction phase experience, our custom approaches incorporate our expertise and take advantage of emerging technologies; but their core focus is responsiveness, collaboration, and availability. This means on-site technicians testing materials and structures for quality assurance; on-call engineers helping to adapt plans to field conditions; trained surveyors for construction stakeout and record as-builts; subsurface utility and geophysical locators to designate existing infrastructure; and a board certified safety professional to advise, train, and ensure “safety first”. Through every step of construction, we deliver a blend of responsiveness and expertise to be a part of the solution, not part of the problem.

SAFETY SERVICES
Every day each of us has the opportunity to leave our mark on the world. Creating a Lasting Positive Impact through engineering, surveying, and environmental expertise is the primary focus of Draper Aden Associates. We are more than just a set of plans, we are a way to achieve.
The dream of creating a Lasting Positive Impact began in Blacksburg, Virginia in 1972 when a civil engineer and a surveyor collaborated to improve their local surroundings. Since then, our company has expanded to Charlottesville, Manassas, Newport News, Richmond, and Virginia Beach, Virginia and Fayetteville and Raleigh, North Carolina, with the goal of helping these communities, as well as the entire Mid-Atlantic region, realize a sustainable future.
Draper Aden Associates’ aspirations and capabilities are growing every day. Whether it involves the creation of a water distribution system for an underserved community, restoration and reclamation of an environmentally degraded site, preservation of precious natural resources, sensitive development of new communities, or helping to enhance the campuses of institutions where the next generations will learn, what we do today can be looked back upon with pride tomorrow.
Draper Aden Contractor Assist - Through every step of construction, we deliver a blend of responsiveness and expertise to be a part of the solution, not part of the problem. Working together at the speed of construction.

contractor’s pace and a cooperative spirit.
