There may be a few wacky business owners out there that like surprises and unpredictability. When planning their construction project they don’t care how their new building turns out, how much it costs, or whenever it gets completed. If those business owners exist, we wouldn’t know.
Predictable & Organized
A systemized approach to a construction project is the best way to eliminate surprises and unknowns. The obvious benefit to this systemized construction process is that the look of an un-built building, cost to construct, and project schedule are accurately forecasted and guaranteed before a shovel ever meets the ground.
Additionally, the cost savings of an organized and well planned construction project is passed on to the customer. Even though it is enticing for some business owners to gamble by hiring the lowest bidder and hoping for the best, it often happens that important elements are missed in the bid, which ends up costing an owner more money to complete a project. The only change orders that should occur are due to an owner changing their mind or unforeseen conditions during a project and not because the contractor missed something during planning (based on the architectural drawings).
The Wolgast Way
Over ten years ago, Wolgast adopted a systemized approach to apply to their construction delivery methods. We’ve established and implemented documented systems to make tasks uniform and decision making easy for our employee-owners and, most importantly, reduce the risk to our customers.
Regardless of General Construction, Design/Build, Construction Management or Leaseback project delivery, there is a documented system that our employee-owners follow to get each unique project completed without surprises. Every step has been scrutinized and we have applied our 60+ years of best practices.
