Five ways East & Westbrook will help you complete a project without setbacks.
After years of planning and creating a huge financial stake, the last thing you need are project delays or budget overruns. That’s why it’s so critical to choose the right construction company. Here are just some of the ways we help you complete a project without any setbacks.
Inevitably, a government agency may delay a permit or the weather could cause a major disruption. There’s also the very real chance of another global pandemic. Since these are outside our control, we plan for realistic time frames and allow a little cushion in case something comes up.
Because we’ve been around since 1977, we can also leverage our experience and resources when government agencies are in a delay. Plus, you’ll have a partner that has worked in every weather condition imaginable. In fact, we’ve found that almost any type of weather can be overcome. It just takes certain investments depending on the situation. Whatever happens, we know it’s important for you to stay on time and on budget.
Don’t let a construction company tell you otherwise, but some delays are completely within their control. Although in reality, these delays can—and should—be dealt with on the project’s front end to minimize these occurrences. For example, we can help you make better design decisions to create a more efficient construction sequence or to reduce long lead material procurement. There may also be a way to schedule how items are ordered so that everyone doesn’t have to wait on another trade or material procurement. Because we emphasize planning, sequencing and making everyone on our team accountable, we significantly decrease the chance of delays.
As a company that self-performs several trades, we’re uniquely positioned to have greater control over the project’s schedule. That means you’ll have a partner that can quickly increase manpower, change working hours or re-sequence work. And we can do all of this without the approval of someone else. Due to our firm grip on a project, its outcome can be better controlled.
From the beginning, you’ll receive communication about the schedule as well as any drivers and assumptions we include in the project’s timetable. As we make progress on the project, you’ll receive weekly updates at a minimum. Keeping you in the know helps to avoid surprises, increases your anticipation and ensures everything is taken care of in the correct order.
Every week, our Safety, Health & Quality team visits a project to conduct safety audits, respond to issues and questions and create opportunities with managers and crew. All of the safety reports are shared with the management team and ownership, and safety metrics are pored over by every department manager. Everything is also done on a weekly basis. That’s how we minimize safety incidents to keep a project on schedule and avoid operational pauses or shutdowns.
