How we manage job sites

Active job-site safety management

Project managers and supervisors pre-plan work flows to minimize field hazards and conflicts, organize activities, and keep worksites accident free.

Subcontractor coordination

Subcontractors are held to the same site rules, with expectations set before their crews mobilize.

Safe, controlled work areas

Barriers, signage, and controlled access keep construction separated from people who are not part of the work.

Working in occupied facilities

We regularly build in schools and businesses that stay open, protecting students, staff, customers, and the public.

Planning and communication

Schedules, access routes, and shutdowns are reviewed with the owner and facility staff before work begins.

Training and documentation

Site personnel complete documented OSHA training programs and are regularly informed with project-specific site inspections by our third-party safety consultant.

Building Safely in Active Facilities

Much of our commercial work happens in schools and buildings that stay open. We plan the work around the people using the building.

—Phased construction so buildings stay in use
—Safe separation between work areas and occupied space
—Work scheduled around school and business hours
—Summer construction windows for school districts
—Coordination with administrators and facility personnel
—Access, egress, and utilities maintained where required
—Daily cleanup and controlled site access
—Work completed with minimal disruption
