Education Renovation and Construction Solutions

Providing a strong mix of experience, knowledge, support, project planning, and a dedication to supervision on Michigan School Construction projects.

Systemized Construction Management and Design-Build to Meet School Schedules

Wolgast Corporation has worked with over 140 School Districts and Intermediary School Districts throughout Michigan. With a school driven schedule of three to four months to complete most Education Construction improvements each year, we rely on our proven systems to counteract obstacles that slow down construction projects. By being part of the Building Team at the onset with the Owner and Architect, we are able to start planning early to be ready as soon as school is dismissed for the summer. Accordingly, we’ve never missed opening for the start of school. Our experience and professionalism has resulted in 80% of our school clients being repeat customers.

According to our clients, they appreciate our pre-bond services and full-time supervision on their site. After more than $2.5 Billion of in-place construction, we’ve demonstrated how proficient we are in managing large construction projects safely and skillfully. We will do the same for your University, Public K-12 School, ISD, or Charter School.

Types of K-12 School Construction

For schools we have managed construction for new, added on, or renovated gymnasiums, cafeterias, libraries, classrooms, secure entries, athletic fields, locker rooms, restrooms, offices, natatoriums, auditoriums, mechanical systems, science classrooms, computer labs, maker space, etc for 30 years. Also, we have prepared schools to accommodate New Tech Curriculum, 21st Century Learning, Vocational Education and Special Education.

Additionally, Wolgast has been a provider of Design-Build Construction for over 50 years. This construction delivery method was approved for K-12 Schools in 2025. It is a phased approach that results in early budget estimates and construction input during the design phase among other benefits. Learn more here.

Bond Campaign Experts

Without a bond, there is no school construction. School Board Members and Committees work tirelessly to carry-out successful bond elections. At Wolgast, we can help pass bond elections and lighten the load of school leaders. We have School Facility Specialists, who were also Michigan School Superintendents, formerly. They are experienced with running successful campaigns to help Districts plan for school bond elections. Once the team passes a bond, Wolgast will apply our expertise to oversee that design matches the construction budget, accurate estimates and bids are acquired, deadlines are achieved, and expectations of the School District are met through construction. The Wolgast Way!

Educational Enhancement

Educational Enhancement

Wolgast Corporation believes the construction process can be an excellent learning opportunity for students. Many of the various skilled trades and professions have direct applications to the public school curriculum.

Wolgast Corporation will work with the school's curriculum director and staff to initiate, coordinate and facilitate learning activities that relate to the construction project. These activities can include:

  • Job Shadowing
  • Group Seminars
  • Internships

Affiliations

Wolgast is an affiliate member of Michigan School Business Officials (MSBO), Michigan Association of School Administrators (MASA), and Michigan Association of School Boards (MASB) to keep regularly informed about the industry and the issues that are important to our clients.
