Schedule Control
We anticipate the timing of key activities during a project, and keep a consistent flow of information to the team. We aggressively drive and coordinate the interaction and timing of everything from permits to procurements to completion. We provide ongoing progress reviews and schedules to all relevant stakeholders and workers.
Quality Control
Walfor sets high standards and communicates them to everyone involved. Before starting, each trade contractor understands what our quality expectations and specifications are. We conduct spot checks and ensure corrections are made in a timely manner.
Cost Control
Walfor oversees and manages costs to ensure everything stays on budget. In the planning phase, we establish a benchmark budget. We team up with the architect to ensure the building’s cost viability. Value engineering and competitive processes help us get the best possible pricing for our clients. During construction we effectively handle additions and change orders, keeping everyone up to date. When the job is done, cost distribution is accurate and complete.
Risk Management
Delays and unforeseen costs have always been considered a normal part of construction. Typically the project risks and changes are dealt with after construction starts, but we don’t subscribe to that way of thinking. During the pre-construction stage we identify the risks, then control and mitigate them if they occur during construction. We expect the unexpected and plan for all contingencies.
Reporting
Our reporting meets the requirements of each and every client based on their own systems and needs. This open and steady flow of information keeps everyone informed and maintains risk controls every step of the way. We are always happy to discuss tailored reporting solutions based on a client’s own situation.
