RECENT ACCOLADES AGC WILLIS TOWERS WATSON NATIONAL SAFETY EXCELLENCE AWARD, 3RD PLACE, 2019 ENR SOUTHEAST GENERAL CONTRACTOR OF THE YEAR, 2017-2018 OPTIMIZING VALUE, BEGINNING TO END Using an integrated, collaborative, and proven approach, our construction teams are able to eliminate waste, keep clients engaged, and optimize value. It’s true – we’ve been lean before lean was the construction service du jour. We also understand the importance of assigning the right team for every project. They are listeners, doers, and innovators; they are purposely selected based on their previous experience applicable to the opportunity at hand. This does not change whether Choate plays an active role early in the design phase or if we are brought in after full design documents are formalized. MEET OUR TEAM How is Choate's relationship- and technology-driven construction approach different? SEE WHAT WE CAN DO. THE GOLD STANDARD OF QUALITY In the construction industry, the number one cause of loss is due to water infiltration. It is for this reason Choate made the proactive investment of an in-house Building Envelope Specialist. Focusing on minute details that can contribute to water intrusion, we bring a practical depth of experience to support the project team and complement any third party consultant that may be engaged. In addition, our one-year warranty walk allows us to check the performance of the building one year later, before system and component warranties end. Other quality control methods ensure your investment is built to last: Mock-up installations Comprehensive plan review Diligent submittals management Millard Choate’s “10-Foot Rule” Supporting comprehensive facilities management programs CONSTRUCTION SERVICES INCLUDE: DOCUMENT AND COST CONTROL ONELIFE SAFETY PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION QUALITY CONTROL TEAM COMMUNICATION & COORDINATION SCHEDULE EXECUTION & MANAGEMENT SUBCONTRACTOR & VENDOR ANALYSIS WATERPROOFING ANALYSIS BUILDING INNOVATION INTO EVERY PROJECT Design-build, construction management at-risk, general construction -- there is no difference in our unyielding dedication to quality or the industry-leading, technology-driven tools and project management processes we use.
