A+ Approach to Safety
The majority of our projects are completed within occupied and technically sophisticated environments. As a result, we have developed specific means and methods for safe work practices considering the impacts the construction environment has on each stakeholder. Our safety record speaks volumes relative to the success of these practices within challenging work environments requiring our constant vigilance to avoid distractions. We hold ourselves accountable and excel at maintaining a safe, clean, organized work environment to safeguard the comfort and safety of everyone on the jobsite.
As evidence of our successful safety practices, we are proud to have had zero lost time injuries three years in a row from 2019 to 2021 and had only one (1) lost time injury in 2022. AGC Build Washington Construction Excellence Awards recognized our St. Joseph Medical Center NICU project with the 2021 best in Tenant Improvements under $5M for its excellence in safety and General Superintendent and Safety Officer Matt Perhatch was named 2022 Superintendent of the Year.
We are a proud member of the AGC Safety Team
"You clearly understand our requirements for working in our special environments to meet the demands for patient and staff safety, and special needs, while constructing new and remodeled spaces around them." —Dick Morgan, Evergreen Hospital + Medical Center
Our Lean Journey
Lean is the practice of continuous improvement through the elimination of waste by focusing on time and improving quality. We feel that this approach is most effective when it is embraced by the company as a whole and are committed to sustaining our Lean culture for the long-term. Since 2014, many of our team members have been trained and certified through the AGC Lean Construction Education Program. Our lean focus supports best practices, fosters collaboration, and produces efficient and economical projects.
Lean certification was just the beginning of our Lean journey. In conjunction with this certification, we have launched new systems for driving Lean processes into project delivery, including processes for managing diverse teams, using technology for collaboration, and innovating techniques for quality control on fast-track delivery projects. To this day, our teams incorporporate Lean methodology in everything we do for continuous process improvements, and collectively, these processes are what we call our “A+ Approach.”
