From the begriming we have endeavored to be on the cutting edge of our industry. We have embraced the use of computers for project management and scheduling long before contractors in our class. Listed below you will see some of the applications that serve us and help us better serve our clients.

• Technically Trained Personnel
  • Each of our projects have one or more dedicated project supervisors to manage and represent our firm. They possess the technical ability to accurately read and interpret contract drawings and specifications. They are technically experienced in a wide variety of construction trade practices.
• Job Site Innovation
  • Our supervisors enjoy the use of accurate laser leveling and instruments for proper lay-out of work.
• Computerized Project Management System
  • In 1985 we began development of an Expert System designed specifically for our company in performing public works projects. This system was developed using a 4th generation programmable database. This expert system helps us maintain tight control of the projects that we perform. The system includes modules for;
    • Quality Control - Material Approvals, Requests for Information and Document Control, Deficiency Tracking and Correction.

    • Bid Result and Competitor Tracking
• Computerized Scheduling
  • We use Critical Path Method (CPM) scheduling on all of our projects and have done so since 1990. We currently use either Primavera P3e for construction or Suretrak. This kind of detailed and comprehensive scheduling is necessary for assuring completion on time.
• Integrated Computerized Accounting
  • We use the Infosource accounting system, which has modules for Job Cost, Accounts Payable and General Ledger.
