Reduce Construction Project Rework with a Self-Performing General Contractor

Contractors with an in-house workforce can better control overall project quality.

Quality is an essential and expected factor in the construction and the ability of a structure to support your business. More than just the individual trades involved, quality comes down to your contractor clearly understanding and aligning on the overall project goals and requirements early in the process, ensuring that knowledge is transferred to the skilled craft workers building the project.

Without early involvement by your contractor, when they can play a role in influencing the design, constructability related issues can threaten even the end use of a facility. Quality, production and safety go hand in hand. Rework due to poor quality creates exposure and risk to safety and schedule.

Understanding Distinguishing Features of Work

Self-perform work teams can help identify the Distinguishing Features of Work of a project (areas or processes that require increased attention to achieve the intended result), develop agreed upon criteria for acceptance, and create specific work plans to ensure all criteria are met.

Continuous Improvement

Self-perform contractors grow a network of resources that can share lessons learned and focus on continuous improvement. They track metrics on similar projects and use that data to improve processes and innovate on future work.
