This immediate reaction prevents a budding problem from taking root. If a problem is discovered it is immediately corrected. INTENSE OVERSIGHT OF SUBMITTALS WITH AN EXTRA SET OF EYES TO SUPPORT THE DESIGN TEAM We include our Quality Assurance Consultants to review all systems as they relate to paint, exterior finishes, windows, roofing, waterproofing and caulking BEGINNING in the design and budgeting process. We begin our process by meeting with the city’s staff and the entire design team to ensure all systems are compatible. We then work with our preconstruction staff to review submittals with a checklist of what must be included such as: manufacturer product data, details and installation instruction, preparations procedures, qualifications of installers, shop drawings with sequencing for installation, notice of acceptance (if necessary), wind calculations, special requirements and a sample copy of the warranty. We then review all submittals to make sure that proper waterproofing components, materials and installation processes are being submitted in compliance with the contract documents. Our consultant reviews the construction details, products and systems prior to us bidding and providing the Guaranteed Maximum Price to an owner. The benefit is that when we get to the GMP we are clear that the systems on the construction plans are compatible with one another and in conformance with all the current building codes required for the project. NOTHING REPLACES “PLANS IN HAND” INSPECTIONS AND REGULAR COMMUNICATION BY OUR SUPERINTENDENTS During construction, we ensure quality through our daily quality inspections along with weekly jobsite meetings. Every day our superintendents walk miles checking on quality regardless of the size of the building footprint. Our superintendents use tablets in the field that are continually updated with the most recent plans noting any new changes. Checking subcontractors work against the plans, any concerns can be shown to the foremen in a simple, up-to-date format. Any issues that need to be reviewed by the design team, are photographed and send to the entire team for review and response. This immediate reaction prevents a budding problem from taking root or allows us to discover it quickly to find a remedy without impacting the schedule. This process is in addition to our weekly onsite meetings that include subcontractors, owners and design professionals where we walk the jobsite to allow all parties to inspect current work and any question of quality is addressed.
