1. Pre-Construction Review & Planning: Even when brought on as the general contractor post-design, we conduct a thorough review of plans, specifications, and site conditions.

This phase is critical for setting the project up for success.
2. Subcontractor Management & Coordination: We meticulously vet and select qualified subcontractors for each trade, based on their expertise, reliability, and safety records. Our project managers coordinate all site activities, scheduling trades, managing material deliveries, and ensuring that work flows smoothly according to the project schedule.
3. On-Site Supervision & Quality Control: A dedicated site superintendent oversees daily operations, ensuring work is performed safely, correctly, and in accordance with plans and specifications. Our Quality Control program involves regular inspections, phase meetings, and documentation to verify that construction meets the highest standards at every stage.

Any potential variances are identified early, and proactive steps are taken to keep the project on budget and schedule. We provide regular updates on financial status and progress, ensuring full transparency.
5. Communication & Reporting: Clear and consistent communication is key. We maintain open lines of communication with you, the design team, and subcontractors. Regular project meetings, detailed reports generated from our software, and accessible project managers ensure you are always up-to-date on progress, challenges, and upcoming milestones.
