Project Management Methodology

White Construction is a certified ISO 9001 Contractor, and as such the entire team utilizes uniform methods and procedures in accordance with ISO 9001 standards to ensure the successful completion of all projects.

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies from some 130 countries. Its mission is to promote the development of standardization and related activities worldwide, with a view to facilitating the international exchange of goods and services. ISO also seeks to develop cooperation in the spheres of intellectual, scientific, technological and economic activity. The internationally recognized standards require certified companies to comply with stringent control practices.

Although each construction project is unique unto itself, all projects can be divided into three distinct phases: Pre-Construction, Construction and Post Construction/Commissioning. Above all, White Construction believes that the success to any fast-tracked Construction Management project is the development of a cohesive project team; comprised of Owner, Architect and Construction Manager, working together to meet challenges and problems proactively.

The major elements of the three construction phases are explained with a brief description of each in the following paragraphs. It is important to understand the flexibility with which we approach these services. Obviously, various projects have different needs and, as a result, certain aspects of this system may be highlighted on some projects and of lesser importance on others.  A total understanding of the Owner’s needs is the key ingredient allowing us to shift emphasis to the more necessary items.
