Our General Contracting Process

Successfully managing a commercial construction project in Frederick County involves a series of critical steps. Our process is designed for transparency, efficiency, and accountability:

1. Pre-Construction Review: Before breaking ground, we conduct a thorough review of the project plans and specifications. This allows us to identify potential challenges, refine the scope, and establish a solid baseline for execution. This phase leverages insights gained during Preconstruction planning, even if we weren't involved from the initial concept stage.
2. Detailed Estimating and Budgeting: We utilize industry-leading estimating software to develop a precise and realistic project budget. This involves quantifying all materials, labor, equipment, and other costs, ensuring financial clarity from the outset. We work to identify cost-saving opportunities without compromising quality.
3. Project Scheduling: A comprehensive project schedule is developed, outlining key milestones, timelines for specific tasks (like permitting, procurement, construction phases), and dependencies. Effective scheduling, supported by our project management software, is crucial for timely completion.
4. Subcontractor Selection and Management: We have cultivated strong relationships with a network of skilled and reliable subcontractors in the Frederick County area. We rigorously vet subcontractors based on their expertise, track record, and commitment to safety and quality. Our team manages their schedules, performance, and coordination on site.
5. Procurement and Material Management: We oversee the timely procurement of all necessary materials and equipment, ensuring they meet specifications and are delivered to the site when needed.
6. On-Site Construction Management: Our experienced project managers and superintendents provide daily oversight of the construction activities. They monitor progress against the schedule, manage resources, address site-specific issues, and maintain a safe working environment. This phase benefits significantly from the insights gained during Construction Management engagements.
7. Quality Control and Assurance: Quality is paramount. We implement a rigorous quality control program throughout the project, including regular inspections and adherence to our internal quality mission standards. Our commitment to quality is embedded in our training protocols, which include Army CORPS of Engineers certifications and specific onsite quality meetings.
8. Communication and Reporting: We maintain open and consistent communication with you, the client. Regular project updates, progress reports, and meetings are scheduled to keep you informed every step of the way. Our project management software aids in facilitating clear and documented communication.
9. Project Closeout and Final Inspections: As construction nears completion, we manage the final inspections, address any punch list items, and ensure all documentation is in order. The goal is a smooth transition from construction completion to client occupancy.

Leveraging Technology for Your Project

In modern General Contracting, efficiency and accuracy are significantly enhanced by technology. At R.W. Warner, we strategically utilize advanced estimating and project management software.

• Estimating Software: This technology allows us to create detailed, accurate cost estimates by quickly and efficiently quantifying project components, analyzing pricing data, and accounting for labor and overheads. This leads to more reliable budgets and fewer surprises.
• Project Management Software: This powerful tool is central to our operational efficiency. It enables us to create and manage complex schedules, track progress in real-time, manage communications and documentation, monitor budget expenditures, and coordinate subcontractors. This integrated approach ensures that all team members are working from the latest information, contributing to timely project delivery and budget adherence.

By integrating these tools into our process, we enhance not only our internal operations but also the client experience, providing greater transparency and predictability throughout the construction journey.
