Mitigate Project Risks by Engaging Skilled Craft Workers Employed by your General Contractor
When you’re building a new building, you hire experts to design and engineer your facility. But typically, there is a key team member missing from the table: the builder in the field. Having these builders involved early on can add tremendous value, as they can weigh in on how the building comes together and use their years of subject matter expertise to build smarter, better and faster. In a more traditional design/bid/build approach, this is a missed opportunity.
A contractor that has its own dedicated workforce, referred to in the construction industry as self-perform work (SPW), can mitigate potential issues that arise at any point in the construction process, from design to preconstruction to closeout.
Here are some of the ways self-performing general contractors can better mitigate your project risks.
Skilled
Workforce
An in-house, skilled workforce with a national presence means that local, highly trained craft can be directed wherever work is needed so projects are staffed adequately for the project duration.
Workforce
Engagement
Self-perform crews employed by a contractor are invested in the success of their organization and are consistently trained to a high standard.
Reduced
Rework
Self-performing general contractors can get involved early to identify potential issues that might affect constructability and overall project quality, reducing rework.
More for Your
Money
A self-performing general contractor who is involved early in the design process can use their hands-on building expertise to identify potential clashes and solidify the design sooner, helping you build more efficiently.
Schedule
Optimization
Engaging skilled craft workers employed by a self-performing general contractor means more control over labor availability, resulting in the ability to drive schedule and eliminate workforce issues to optimize and accelerate schedule.
