The SPW Advantage
Why is a contractor who self-performs better for your project?
Choosing a self-performing general contractor offers flexibility and predictability that provides greater returns with less risk for owners.
Before selecting a contractor, building owners should account for individual project complexities: What are the technical needs of your project? Does your board require a competitive bid process? How do I navigate my local labor market? Understanding the answers to these questions ensures your selection criteria is clear.

Improve Team Performance and Reduce Rework to Keep Projects on Track
One of the major benefits I see with having a self-perform team on a project is the ability to cross-train and control the labor for miscellaneous tasks (like transporting pods). You have an advantage because you’re not relying on subcontractors; you control the logistics, labor and install.
