Vertec has made a firm commitment to excellence, where quality is more than a goal, it is a constant. Our quality control program stands throughout all facets of pre-construction, construction undertakings, as well as post-construction services.

Pre-Construction

When our team is brought in to the project at the pre-construction stage, our quality program begins with a detailed understanding of the project specifics and the selection of the right project personnel. We select the right people for each project with the understanding that the proper resources and information will result in cost control and quality control throughout the construction process. We do not utilize square foot costs or industry standard multipliers. Instead, we produce a detailed construction cost estimate and time line project schedule utilizing the latest in construction technology and information specific to each project. This information is developed by our estimators, project managers, and most importantly, industry subcontractors and vendors. Through our strong performance track record, we command the utmost of the industries attention, which translates to quality products for our clients.

The review of plans and specifications assisting in the design and development of a project illustrates the benefit of our working relationship with the project architect. This involvement facilitates more accurate pricing models, scheduling analysis and completely familiarizes the project team with all of the project specifics up front, rather than at a more costly later date.

Construction

Quality and our reputation as a quality builder is our strongest asset. Our quality control program utilizes procedures that have been proven under demanding projects to deliver and exceed the expected level of quality standards throughout the construction process. It is a team effort that involves every member of the project team. The quality begins with the in-house committee involved in the selection of each subcontractor. Prior to the subcontract award, all potential subcontractors are reviewed and approved by a member of the Estimating Department, Project Management and the principals of the firms to insure that the efforts that have been made by our group establish a strong industry reputation, are not placed at risk by an untried or untested subcontractor. Once all parties have approved the selection of the subcontractor, the subcontractor is then held to extremely strict quality guidelines in the field.

The Project Superintendent is the front line of quality control on site commanding our standards on all construction, including temporary components (barriers, staging, etc.). The Project Manager enforces all of our contractual language and at any time with any subcontractor, we will replace a subcontractor if there is any risk of jeopardizing our client's interest or our venture's industry reputation.

Risk & Safety Management

Vertec is 100% committed to the safety for all those that step foot on our jobsites.

Vertec works directly with Risk & Safety Management, a consulting firm that specializes in construction safety and oversees Vertec's OSHA safety program. They conduct weekly jobsite inspections on all of Vertec's jobsites. They also hold training sessions on construction topics, compile safety manuals, and offer their professional assistance should an OSHA inspection occur. The job of Risk & Safety Management is to expose and report any unsafe conditions and see that they are corrected immediately. If a potential violation should arise, a written report is drawn up and together with Vertec's Superintendent, the problem is immediately addressed and a solution is made before day's end.
