Pre-construction

Comprehensive Pre-construction Planning for Optimal Project Success

At GWC Construction, we lay the groundwork for every project with precision and strategic planning. Our collaborative and resource-rich approach facilitates effective communication among all stakeholders, enabling informed, timely decisions that maximize efficiency and meet project objectives. We transcend traditional pre-construction practices by providing a thorough and predictable process that delivers exceptional value.

 

The conventional approach to pre-construction typically offers clients just an estimate, a schedule, and a logistics plan. Our method extends these basics into a comprehensive system of tools that defines a more precise pre-construction process, achieving superior results and greater value for our clients.

    Lean Construction

    Maximizing Efficiency and Quality Through Lean Construction Practices

    Lean project delivery is a cultural shift that focuses on enhancing quality through increased efficiency and productivity. GWC Construction embraces the Lean philosophy to drive continuous quality improvement by eliminating waste and non-value-added elements throughout the design and construction process.

    01

    Integration

    Collaboration is key. Our approach brings together owners, designers, contractors, and subcontractors from the start, ensuring seamless coordination and successful project outcomes.

    02

    Schedule Materials

    We schedule material deliveries at the optimal time, directly to the installation site. This minimizes handling, reduces waste, and ensures materials are available exactly when needed.

    03

    Target Costing

    Final project costs are established collaboratively among all parties. If additional costs or conditions arise, equivalent value-added solutions are identified to maintain budget integrity.

    04

    Pull Planning

    By involving all project stakeholders in the scheduling process, we create a streamlined timeline that enhances efficiency and productivity. Tasks are strategically "pulled" through the workflow to meet prerequisites and reduce delays.

    05

    Set-Based Design

    We develop multiple design concepts based on client guidelines. Cross-discipline teams review these concepts to select the best options, ensuring the final design aligns perfectly with client objectives.

    Innovate, Sustain, Excel
