SAFETY At Rogers-O’Brien, we always put safety first, believing it is our duty to provide the safest possible workplace for our employees, jobsite partners and clients. Our dedicated safety personnel directs our proactive approach to environmental, safety and health programs that Rogers-O’Brien has refined over the course of four decades.

Our program includes customary requirements such as background checks and drug screening for all new employees; subcontractor compliance with our substance abuse policy and safety procedures; and maintaining a minimum level of OSHA 30-hour safety training for all management-level personnel. We also assign each new employee a work partner until the safety director has completed an assessment of that employee and identified his/her training needs.

We have a long-established partnership with OSHA to identify and eliminate potential hazards in the industry and establish the safest environment possible for our subcontractors. We consistently maintain an Experience Modification Rate (EMR) well below industry average.

Rogers-O’Brien won 2nd place in the National AGC Construction Safety Excellence Awards Competition and has won the ABC Safety Star Award for two consecutive years.

SUCCESSFUL PROJECT PLANNING How do you define success on a construction project? The answer varies according to each participant’s perspective:

• The owner wants results — on time and within budget, with the completed facility performing as anticipated.

• Process may be foremost to the architect, focused on achieving the creative vision.

• The contractor may see relationships as paramount, to assure key subcontractors and suppliers will support their future projects.

Recognizing the divide that too often arises between what the distinctive parties define as success, RogersO’Brien Construction formalized an approach called Successful Project Planning to balance process, results and relationships. This approach acknowledges that each participant has something at stake, seeks to define those expectations and provides a framework for taking corrective action when expectations are not being met.

To get all key project team members thinking with a preventative mindset, focused on solving problems before the fact, prior to construction start-up, Ken Dunham, Rogers-O’Brien Vice President, facilitates a day-long workshop with all stakeholders in attendance covering these key topics:

• Fostering team collaboration

• Defining decision-making process

• Process agreements and team expectations

• Potential roadblocks and preventions

• Action plan Successful Project Planning enables project teams to more readily meet schedule, budget and quality requirements while fostering solid working relationships. This process has been successfully applied to many Rogers-O’Brien construction projects. The initial workshop clearly defines the way in which all parties communicate, ground rules and expectations, aligning all parties to work together toward exceptional outcomes.

TECHNOLOGY DRIVES QUALITY An early adopter of Building Information Modeling (BIM), Rogers-O’Brien actively uses technology to enhance team collaboration and achieve operational efficiencies, faster project delivery and lower total project costs. Our staff includes recognized industry leaders in BIM that have authored national journal articles and presented to international audiences. Our technology team keeps current on BIM software such as Autodesk Revit and Navisworks; Innovaya to generate quantities and costs directly from either architect’s electronic files or our internally built models; Timberline estimating software to develop and analyze project costs; and Primavera products for scheduling. This technology team also manages our online portal for all team members to distribute and electronically review project data and documents.

Rogers-O’Brien harnesses the power of technology to improve project delivery in these key areas: • During design, our estimators quickly develop new take-offs and re-price the effects of major design revisions like changing the building skin.

• Laser scanning of existing structures helps coordinate renovation design.

• Project managers analyze site logistics and construction sequences.

• Virtual models are used by superintendents to show work crews exactly how completed work should look; IPads are used in the field to compare in-place construction to virtual models and quickly resolve any variances.

• Subcontractors can pre-fabricate MEP systems, wall sections, or even entire rooms based on the model, reducing job site labor and clutter.

• At project completion, information-rich 3D as-built drawings act as a virtual operating manual.
