Services
Pre-Construction
Our pre-construction services provide comprehensive project analysis before work begins. We conduct constructability reviews to identify potential obstacles, develop detailed cost models for accurate budgeting, and implement value engineering to optimise project value. Using advanced scheduling software, we create precise timelines that integrate subcontractor input and historical data to ensure realistic project planning.
Design-Build
We offer complete design-build solutions that streamline project delivery through single-point accountability. This approach combines design and construction phases under one contract, reducing project timelines while maintaining quality control. Our experienced team coordinates all aspects from concept to completion, ensuring alignment with client requirements and budget constraints throughout the process.
Quality Control
Our quality control program prevents non-conforming work through systematic checks at every project stage. We implement rigorous inspections during pre-construction reviews, submittal evaluations, construction phases, and final close-out. This multi-step approach ensures all deliverables fully meet contract specifications while maintaining our high standards of workmanship.
Safety Programming
We develop and enforce comprehensive safety programs tailored to each project's requirements. Partnering with Fortier Loss Control, we provide staff training, equipment certification, and regular site audits. Our zero-tolerance policy ensures strict adherence to safety protocols, creating secure work environments that protect personnel and maintain project progress.
Self-Performed Work
Our capability to self-perform critical path tasks provides competitive advantages in cost and schedule control. We execute excavation, concrete work, masonry, and carpentry installations directly, maintaining quality standards while optimising project efficiency. This hands-on approach ensures better coordination and faster decision-making during key construction phases.
