The ideal delivery method for a project is not a one size fits all solution. The decision depends on a wide array of factors that Tellepsen can help you navigate. Tellepsen Interiors has performed both bid and negotiated work under virtually all variations of contracting arrangements.
Our reputation in the industry for conceptual estimating is second to none. We pride ourselves on delivering comprehensive detailed estimates and preconstruction services that allow our clients to make quality business decisions for their projects.
Tellepsen Interiors’ estimating process combines the use of estimating professionals, input from the city’s most competitive and qualified subcontractors, and historical data gathered from building interior-driven projects in the Houston market for decades. We provide our customers with accurate cost estimates as they make decisions about their projects. In a CM@R scenario, Tellepsen Interiors will frequently and consistently provide detailed, accurate cost information and measure against the baseline for the project. This allows timely adjustments and decisions to be made throughout the budgeting process to ensure effective cost management. In a lump sum scenario, Tellepsen Interiors will solicit from our stable of qualified trade partners that specialize in lump sum interior projects to ensure best value.
Quality is ingrained within our earliest project activities from identifying potential conflicts between building systems, to prequalifying trade partners and holding orientation meetings to familiarize all job site participants on the schedule, project controls, and site specific safety procedures. Our construction delivery process outlines in detail the procedures for submittals, testing, inspections, and documentation to ensure quality throughout construction. Tellepsen Interiors utilizes technology, such as PlanGrid to complete thorough constructability review and to address field discrepancies.
Safety is a Tellepsen Interiors core value and it all begins with a deeply committed and caring executive leadership. Safety is a collective mission we accomplish through clear management direction and individual education, accountability, and action. We ensure success through aggressive inspection, measurement, reporting, recognition, and response through the use of eCompliance. Our safety record stands as a testimony to the success of our organization.

Tellepsen Interiors develops a preliminary schedule on every project to create an educated baseline to discuss with our client.

Tellepsen’s founder, Tom Tellepsen, started his career as a carpenter in 1905. This was an era when the skill to be a builder was truly celebrated. The builder mentality remains a common thread throughout our organization. There are situations where Tellepsen can bring the most value to our clients by self-performing various scopes of work. Self-performing provides for the greatest control of cost, schedule, safety and quality.
Tellepsen has logged over 17 years and 18 million man-hours with no lost time accidents
