National Programs · 35 states and counting
For brands building across state lines who want a partner, not a procurement line. One contract, one point of contact — and a family on the other end of the phone.
Most brands run national construction the hard way: a different GC in every market, a different contract for every site, and a construction manager whose whole job becomes chasing status. A Cook national program replaces all of it — one master agreement, one team that learns your prototype once, and delivery that looks identical whether the address is in Utah or Ohio.
And here's the part the big program-management firms can't say: the same family that answered the phone in 2005 answers it in 35 states. We built our name on Davis County family homes before we built it on FedEx docks and Walmart remodels — which means your brand standard is enforced by people whose own name is on the truck.
What a program includes
Why a family GC for a national program
Anyone can subcontract a map. What can't be subcontracted is the standard — and ours was set building homes, where the client inspects at a range of zero feet. Four house rules travel with every program:
Since 1978, really
A father licensed in 1978. A son on jobsites at age five. Family homes, then apartments, then Army barracks, then 35 states. The whole story is worth two minutes.
Programs we've run
Questions we always get
Any construction effort that repeats across markets: new-unit rollouts, chain-wide remodels and refreshes, rebrand and signage programs, facility upgrades across a portfolio. If it has more addresses than project managers, it's a program.
Your choice — most clients run a master agreement with site-level work orders. One negotiation, one set of terms, then every site moves fast.
We've delivered work in 35 states and hold licenses across the West and beyond. When your program enters a new state, we handle qualification and licensing as part of preconstruction — it's our problem, not yours.
Traveling Cook superintendents run every site, with vetted local subcontractors executing under them. Your brand standards travel with our people, not with a binder.
Scheduled reporting on every site: schedule vs. baseline, photos, open items, upcoming inspections — rolled up for leadership, detailed for your team. An owner dashboard is in development.
Tell us the markets and the timeline. We'll show you what a program looks like — budget shape, sequence, and all.
In development
We're building a live owner dashboard for every program: schedule against baseline, daily jobsite photos, open items, and a weekly report written for owners — not for other contractors. Check any site from your phone without flying out to babysit it.
Until it ships, every program runs on the same discipline the dashboard will display: daily photos, weekly owner reports, and one accountable point of contact.
