CONSTRUCTION
Waner Construction Company Inc. continues to successfully delivery many different types of projects, from Medical Office Buildings, Community Centers, Retail Centers, Storage Facilities and many other project types. The experience gained through the years allows Waner project managers and superintendents to employ the most innovative construction means and methods to new situations, with the objective of providing the client with the best finished product available. Our employees work together as a team to meet and to exceed each clients expectations for quality, schedule and budget. Whether it is a special purpose building, a unique design concept or a pre-engineered structure, our people apply creativity and proven construction practices to get the job done right, achieving outstanding results.
PRECONSTRUCTION
Waner Construction quickly responds to the needs of customers who are in the early stages of project development. Fast-track techniques are applied where information is limited or preliminary in nature. The preconstruction phase of a project is as critical as the construction itself. There is no substitute for proper planning. Our preconstruction services consist of the following:
-
Review of program goals and requirements.
-
Prepare preliminary construction schedule including design phase, entitlement and permitting, and construction
-
Site logistics plans, coordination and phasing alternatives
-
Value Engineering through cost control from inception to design.
-
Prepare a trade-by-trade preliminary cost estimate and quantity survey, or conceptual budget, dependent on design generation.
-
Advise architect and design team with regard to economic system alternatives and material selections. Value engineering is emphasized.
-
Assist owner and architect in preparation documents for permit review and local or government agency approval.
-
Recommend most effective subcontractor/supplier bidding procedures including development of unit pricing.
CONSTRUCTION
Waner Construction takes pride in the quality of our projects and the construction phase allows for the coordinated activities of our team members to occur. It is the opportunity to see a dream become reality. Waner utilizes an effective project delivery system. Although we manage our projects with a team approach, we demand individual performance and responsibility. We take a pro-active approach to problem solving, teamwork, and the desire to achieve the project objectives. The success of this approach is reflected in the quality of the finished product and the satisfaction of the client. The following highlights the main activities of the construction phase:
-
Establish detailed construction schedules outlining all activities including project updates as necessary.
-
Manage procurement and delivery of all project materials.
-
Preparation and implementation of subcontract agreements and purchase orders.
-
Maintain communication and coordinate activities of the architect, engineers, owner and all consultants involved in the project.
-
Provide full-time supervision of all site activities.
-
Review, analyze and maintain all project changes, and requests for information (RFI's).
-
Maintain and update all related project accounting including timely and well supported monthly billings and disbursements, budgets and changes orders.
-
Maintain and supervise all site safety requirements above and beyond O.S.H.A. standards and posting of relevant hazardous material information.
-
Coordinate & manage all closeout activities including punch list, systems start-up and training, as-built drawings and O&M manuals. Conduct post job inspection and review warranty fulfillment.
DESIGN BUILD
Waner Construction believes that the client is not always best served by the conventional competitive bid process. Often, considerable time and money have been spent in the design phase before either the project's cost or the builder has been determined. Waner satisfies the demands of cost, quality and time-conscience clients by offering the design-build alternative. This alternative provides the client with a single source of responsibility throughout the course of the project. A spirit of cooperation, rather than one of protection of individual contract interests, prevails.
A technical report from Penn State shows that Design-Build was 6% lower unit cost, 12% faster for construction speed and an overall 33% faster delivery speed from design inception to construction completion than the traditional method of Design-Bid-Build.
