On all our projects we think of the community. Whether it’s public meetings and tours or getting the local neighborhood involved. On educational projects, integrating learning opportunities on-site helps expose kids to the construction industry. Whether it’s a project tour, a demonstration on construction practices for classroom curriculum, or a seminar on jobsite safety, we look beyond just building your project. Sparking an interest in just one student can leave a lasting impact.

A construction project has a lot of moving parts. From ensuring all materials are onsite and ready to be installed to managing trade partners’ schedules and ensuring safety. As superintendent, I take pride in running a well-organized project site. Handling the multitude of field activities takes a proactive level of management that centers on communication, with our clients, design team and trade partners. McCownGordon’s core values of integrity, performance and relationships come into play every day out here.

Preplanning is key to our safety program. We work hand in hand with our clients to develop site specific safety plans that take into account pedestrian traffic, vehicular routing, and worker safety. Our strong performance does not come by accident. Our safety training program, ability to anticipate and mitigate issues and commitment from our field staff make McCownGordon’s unmatched safety record a reality.

Higher quality buildings mean reduced maintenance and an increased lifespan. We pride ourselves on setting quality expectations with our trade partners early….and holding them accountable. We identify the challenging areas of the project before we break ground, collaborate on an approach and communicate that plan to everyone involved. I want to make sure we do it right the first time and deliver a top-quality facility for our clients.

Our teams use the latest technology to reduce cost, time and waste all while improving efficiency and quality. Using drones, we can compare aerial footage from week to week, which helps review jobsite conditions, takes measurements and compares progress to construction documents. Other tech tools we employ include laser scanning, virtual mockups, and building information modeling, all with the goal of bringing an enhanced value to our clients.

As an engineering manager I’m focusing on the behind-the-scenes systems that make the building operate. Working hand in hand with the design team my construction-driven perspective means clients get real-world solutions that help their projects run more smoothly. We analyze MEP systems, energy efficiency and structural integrity, all with our clients’ goals of budget, schedule and quality at the forefront.
