Design Team
Our design team includes US Licensed Professional Engineers (PE) and Architects (AIA). Our team also includes licensed engineers and architects from abroad. We cover all design divisions including Architectural, Geotechnical, Civil, Structural, Mechanical, and Electrical.
We have over two decades of military DB experience where our team worked with US, NATO, and Coalition Forces worldwide. We understand Government expectations and standards.
Design Concept and Constructability
We fully appreciate that time is of essence in every military project. While every design must meet the full intended purpose of the project, sometimes design can bring unnecessary challenges in cost and schedule for the project. Whether we work on a DB project from scratch or doing constructability review on a DBB project, we will strive to bring value to the table as to how it can be done easier, faster, and cheaper without sacrificing quality and safety.
Having worked in different parts of the world, we always consider use of local material, talents, and capacity, when possible, to save time and cost in logistics, and be able to get the job done cheaper and faster.
Managing Operation on a Military Base
Our team of project managers and constructors understand the challenges of working with the military. Over the years, our team has taken great pride to ensure high efficiency in construction operation by properly managing factors that can impact the efficiency of the construction operation on a military base.
We know how to mitigate bottlenecks in gaining access to the Base for the workers. We are used to managing security issues and working with the Pass and ID and badging offices. We understand that prior screening, timely badging, and limiting personnel turnover is key to maximizing on-time access to the Base.
Our, PMs, Security managers, and Logistic managers work together with the Base security and our subs to minimize badging issues and logistical challenges associated with getting personnel and material through ECPs.
Our Teams and Processes
Project Management
We employ seasoned Project Managers, Construction Managers, and Superintendents with DOD experience. Our Project Management Teams have full understanding of the Construction Processes, Contracts, Design, QC, Safety, Scheduling, Cost Control, Security, Internal Procedures, and Client Relations. The PM Team communicates with designers, subs and suppliers, QC and Safety team, schedulers, cost accounting, contracts and legal team. They are responsible to ensure communication is maintained between our project team members and our counterparts on the Government side and subcontractor side. PMT avoids gaps and minimizes unnecessary overlaps with subs.
Quality Control
We have a stringent three phase QC process including Preparatory Phase (prior to installation), Construction Phase (work in process), and Final Phase (upon completion) of the feature of work. By doing three phase inspections we make sure that the materials and equipment being furnished have been approved prior to installation. We make sure that the key installers have proper credential to perform that work. We review the schedule to make sure everyone understands when and what must be done. We review the safety features and any hazard analysis associated with that work to make sure that the work is performed safely. We perform inspections during the work to ensure compliance, and we inspect the work after completion to make sure it complies with requirements and that the warranty is intact. Our QC engineers and managers are trained through DOD channels including USACE.
Schedule
We follow client requirements for preparation of the schedule. Schedules are made with primary focus on deliverables and the dates together with processes as outlined in the contract. We avoid long floats and we break the work features down to details as much as possible so that everything can be tracked properly for progress and payment without any gap. Our schedulers work with PM, QC, subs, and client to make sure we have a logical and workable schedule that makes sense for execution. Once we have our approved Baseline schedule, we track it and update it as we go. The idea is always to beat the schedule. Any time we see an issue during construction that may cause an inexcusable delay, we immediately work on a recovery plan to compensate and avoid a completion delay. We work with Microsoft, Primavera P6, or any other approved system by client.
Health and Safety
We have a very stringent safety process much similar to our QC process. We look at features of work before start and during construction all the way through completion. We review the safety plans from subs and make sure every worker involved has received proper safety training and briefings. We make sure they understand the hazards associated with the work and how they must be avoided. We constantly inspect and monitor everything from scaffolds to tools and equipment, workers Personal Protection Equipment, safe performance of the work, proper housekeeping, and all aspects of Health and Safety matters of the workers in accordance with OSHA and DOD rules. Our Safety engineers and managers have OSHA training and are Safety Professionals.
