Pre-Construction Services

Doors can be complicated, but they don’t have to be. Our team brings decades of experience in door opening integration, including AHC and CDC credentials from the Door and Hardware Institute.

We collaborate early and often with contractors, end users, and design teams to provide totally integrated safety and security solutions that reduce costs, shorten timelines, and improve performance.


“What American Direct is doing with pre-construction techniques is cutting edge for the industry. With design assist, we are creating a platform for the owner, design team, and contractor to truly collaborate.”

—Mark Wilkerson, Senior Estimator, Webcor Builders

Additionally, we provide specification writing for divisions 8, 10, and 28, guaranteeing all materials meet life-safety building code requirements while achieving design intent and overall security strategy.
