Construction

White Construction would also look at the feasibility to develop a separate Bid Package to be quoted only by disadvantaged, MBE, WBE or local business concerns (when desired by the Customer). This can be done by grouping work items to total a dollar value of work achievable by DBEs. By doing this, we feel the project can give even more back to the community, than its actual end use will be.
Likewise, General Condition items will be incorporated into bid packages to receive competitive quotations by the trades that will be doing the work.
 
Bidder Interest – White Construction will conduct numerous pre-bid and walk-through meetings to define the scope and scheduling criteria for the upcoming bid packages.  This process develops bidders’ interest and answers the coordination questions, which, when unanswered, tend to nurture contingency money in the bids.  Communication with each subcontractor and supplier is extremely important in preventing problems from developing during construction – thus, our emphasis is on this important activity.
Subcontracts – We will organize and let bid packages, receive bids and write the applicable subcontracts.  These contracts would include a specific definition of the Work to help negate any questions resulting from an undefined portion of the scope of each trade.  Our purchasing department will stay involved until each subcontract is totally complete and finalized. Once the contractors have been identified, we will then administer these subcontractors. Your needs and requirements will be first and foremost in our minds as we deal with these firms.
Quality Control – White takes an active, positive approach to the Quality Control of each project.  Our Quality Control program is used to insure that the finished project is performed correctly and to the required specifications, on time and within budget.
 
Safety – In consultation with all parties concerned, White will establish and monitor contractor compliance with Safety regulations.  Adherence to established regulations, institution of White procedures and creation of additional programs if necessary for this specific project, is White’s policy.
Job Accounting – We will review all applications by the various subcontractors for progress payments and final payments, assuring that the performance is in accordance with the plans and specifications, and that the amounts conform to the actual work-in-place.  Once this compliance has been established, we will process an application for payment, and make necessary recommendations to the Architect for its approval.
Record Keeping – When documents are completed, a Budget Report is established and become the essential tool for maintaining budget control. This Budget Report logs actual contract values against the base, or reevaluated estimates, and provides constant look at adherence to the budget.
