]]>In 2018, Alison was asked to open and lead McShane’s regional office in Madison. Her remarkable aptitude for cultivating relationships with developers, design professionals, and subcontractors coupled with her expertise in multi-family and commercial construction enabled her to quickly build a project pipeline in the Wisconsin market. She operates with a client service-focused mindset and consistently exceeds her clients’ expectations, which has led them to return to McShane for project after project.
Alison is passionate about increasing the representation of women in the industry. She co-founded McShane’s first women’s leadership group to provide women at all stages of their careers with access to learning opportunities, professional development, resources, and the opportunity to cultivate relationships with other women within the industry.

]]>“We are thrilled to celebrate the completion of Ellison Mallard Creek, a thoughtfully designed community that brings high-quality living spaces and outstanding amenities to Charlotte,” shared Dave Meadows, Vice President & Regional Manager at McShane. “This project is a testament to our strong partnership with Flournoy Development Group and our shared commitment to delivering exceptional multi-family communities.”
Designed by Dynamik Design, Ellison Mallard Creek incorporates five apartment buildings and 10 townhome-style buildings on a 24.6-acre site. The wood frame buildings feature attractive brick and fiber cement siding exteriors.
Offered in one- to three-bedroom floor plans, units boast high-end finishes including luxury vinyl tile flooring, quartz countertops, and stainless steel appliances. Select units offer private balconies or patios, flex den/office space, and mudroom storage areas. The townhome units offer attached garages that are pre-wired for electric vehicle charging. Additionally, 10 units contain a downstairs workspace in which residents can have an office or small storefront.
The property offers generous community amenities including a resident lounge with gaming and entertainment areas, a state-of-the-art fitness and wellness center, a co-working lounge with private workspaces and conference rooms, a hobby and art studio, and a market. Outside, tenants can also enjoy a heated resort-style pool, courtyards with fire pits, gaming, grills, and hammocks, and expansive green space. Pet owners can take advantage of a dog park and pet spa. The site offers four freestanding garage buildings as well as surface parking and electric vehicle charging stations.
McShane is currently underway with construction on three additional multi-family communities for Flournoy Development Group: Ellison Cool Springs, a 332-unit development in Franklin, Tennessee, District Eastside, a 252-unit development in Greenville South Carolina, and District South, a 461-unit development also in Greenville.

The common areas offer contrasting colors, braille signage, handrails in the corridors, braille wallpaper, and elevators with audible signals.
The joint venture team of McShane Construction Company and Ashlaur Construction successfully delivered the project after more than 120,000 project man-hours with a safety record notably better than the national average.

]]>It is crucial to manage change in construction to ensure it does not negatively impact a project’s budget or schedule. Pre-construction services play a vital role in this by identifying opportunities to improve efficiency, optimize costs, and streamline construction before any physical work begins.
Pre-construction is more than just planning. By performing value engineering, we find better ways to build and select the most efficient systems to avoid unnecessary costs or delays once construction begins. During the review of early architectural conceptual plans, our experienced pre-construction teams assess potential design alternatives and make recommendations that align with project goals.
An example of this is a multi-story manufacturing facility that was initially designed as an all-precast structure. Through pre-construction analysis, it became evident that switching to a structural steel system would not only be more cost effective but would also speed up the installation process. By making this adjustment early, our client saved tens of millions of dollars and significantly reduced the project timeline. This proactive approach added immense value at little to no additional cost during pre-construction.
For build-to-suit clients, pre-construction services are particularly beneficial because they allow for a customized approach that aligns with the specific operational needs of the business. Whether it’s new construction, a build-out within an existing building, or an expansion of an existing space, understanding these needs from the outset ensures the building is tailored to support business objectives, thereby reducing costly revisions later in the construction process.
Ultimately, pre-construction mitigates change by ensuring value-driven alternatives are identified and informed decisions are made early in the development process. The result is schedule and cost savings, enhanced project efficiency, and buildings optimized to meet businesses’ long-term needs.
