Our expertise lies in preconstruction services, general contracting, construction management, real estate development, and design-build delivery.

Workplace + Performance

At the heart of all our projects is a strong emphasis on safety. Ensuring the wellbeing of our subcontracted forces remains our top priority in the field. We take pride in our exemplary safety record, a testament to our commitment and diligence. Currently, our Experience Modification Rate (EMR) stands at an impressive 0.86.

DRUG FREE WORKPLACE

We uphold a strict no-tolerance policy towards drugs or alcohol use. We achieve this by educating our team on the risks associated with substance abuse in the workplace, enforcing penalties for non-compliance, and strictly adhering to the laws of all states in which we operate.

The Essentials Of Safety

Safety Planning & Monitoring

Safety Planning & Monitoring

A site safety plan is the foundation for safety on a project. The safety team updates the site safety plan regularly as the project progresses to ensure the accuracy and effectiveness of the plan.

The site safety plan includes:

• A site-specific hazard assessment and abatement plan

• A crisis management plan

• Safety data sheets (SDS)

• Site logistics, egress, and access plans

• An evaluation of all components of the project to proactively identify and eliminate specific safety issues and hazards

Toolbox Safety Meetings

A member of our project team will conduct an informal safety meeting that focuses on safety topics related to the specific job, such as workplace hazards and safe work practices. These tool box safety meetings are normally short in duration and are generally conducted at the job site prior to the commencement of work.

Subcontractor & Vendor

Pre-Qualification

Our success is a collaborative effort involving subcontractors, vendors, and craftsmen. We take pride in partnering with some of the finest professionals across the U.S., each thoroughly vetted to ensure quality. Our vetting process is rigorous and includes examining company size, history, financial stability, bond capacity, safety records, legal disputes, and manpower. We believe in building strong relationships based on trust and mutual respect, and we are committed to working with partners who share our values.
