Industry Watch - Why Construction Claims Happen and What Procurement can do about it.

The trouble with construction is there are so many types of risk that it is impossible to avoid them all, but what if we could pinpoint the behaviors and practices that bring on the greatest opportunities for risk?

Construction projects are fraught with risk.  Increased cost, delayed schedules, site safety, property damage, and poor quality are just a few.  Procurement is uniquely positioned to mitigate these risks.  The key is knowing when and where these risks could arise and having the expertise to know how risks can be mitigated. The trouble with construction is there are so many types of risk that it…

The design-build process is a streamlined approach to construction that combines architectural design and construction services under a single contract. It typically involves five distinct phases.

Design-Build Team Selection The initial phase centers on identifying the most suitable team to bring a project to fruition. This involves clearly defining project goals and needs, issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP) to qualified design-build firms, and meticulously evaluating proposals to select the optimal team. Establishing clear contractual terms and project parameters is crucial during this stage.

Pre-construction Planning Once the design-build team is in place, comprehensive pre-construction planning commences. This phase involves developing a detailed project scope and budget, conducting thorough site investigations, and identifying potential risks to develop mitigation strategies. Creating a realistic project schedule, allocating necessary resources, and planning for material and subcontractor procurement are also essential components of this stage.

Architecture Design and Functionality This phase is dedicated to transforming conceptual ideas into tangible architectural designs. The design team iteratively refines the project's aesthetic appeal and functional requirements, ensuring seamless integration of building systems. Adhering to building codes and obtaining necessary permits are critical during this stage, as are the production of detailed construction documents.

Construction Phase With designs finalized, the construction phase commences. The design-build team mobilizes on-site, preparing the ground for construction management. The actual building process, including installation of various systems, takes place during this phase. Rigorous quality control measures and inspections are implemented to ensure adherence to project standards. Effective project management and coordination are indispensable for the successful execution of this phase.

Post Construction Review Upon project completion, a comprehensive review is conducted. This involves final inspections, official handover of the project to the owner, and meticulous documentation of project records, including as-built drawings and warranty information. The final stage also includes a thorough evaluation of the entire project to identify lessons learned for future endeavors.

All construction projects require careful planning to succeed. You need to find the right resources and equipment, determine the timeline and budget, and meet various other complex requirements.

Feature Project: Red Rock Dental

New Build

Welcome to Red Rock Dental, a modern, professional dental health clinic and retail space!

Completed in early 2023, the Red Rock project is another of our Medicine Hat construction projects, and consisted of base building commercial construction – completed in August of 2022 – and were immediately retained to complete the tenant improvements directly after.

During all phases of this project, we leveraged our efficient design-build/construction management approach. Our professional team maintained close collaboration with the owner as well as specialized equipment suppliers.

The outcome? A cutting-edge retail space at Red Rock Dental – a marriage of modern aesthetics with state-of-the-art equipment.

Project Details

Project Type: New Construction Sector: Commercial Location: Medicine Hat, Alberta Timeline: Completed in January 2023 Project Size: 5,418 sq.ft. Budget: $2 Million Project Scope: Site work, base building construction, and tenant improvements

The Red Rock Dental ownership team enjoyed our seamless design build/construction management project delivery method – which essentially means that we’re there from project inception to completion, and handle all of the details. We worked very closely with the owner and their specialized equipment suppliers for a seamless construction experience.

Red Rock Dental is a very modern, professional retail space that features state of the art equipment. With a functional floor plan designed to maximize efficiency and optimize staff and patient experience – we wanted to ensure total versatility and room for future expansion.

As an additional pleasant bonus, dental chair locations are strategically placed to take advantage of the abundant natural light created by vast glazing along the entire South and East sides of the building. This only improves patient experience during an otherwise occasionally anxiety-inducing dentist visit!

How SWMW Approaches Challenges

As general contractors in Medicine Hat, we’ve established great relationships with our clients. That is, in no small part, due to our ability to view challenges as opportunities to show our expertise and deliver a great client experience!

There were a great deal of under slab rough-ins required for all of the drains, power, water, and other lines that ran to the chairs and other locations throughout the building. This required a high degree of planning, scheduling, and organization in the early construction phases.

Red Rock Dental’s Move-In Date

Red Rock Dental had a specific timeline to meet to ensure a seamless grand opening!

To ensure we met this goal, we had to rely on the equipment deliveries from the client’s specialized equipment suppliers – and time them with our own construction sequencing – not always easy!

However, having a well-organized, strategic work plan and schedule was instrumental in meeting these requirements. Our team fully realizes the importance of working with all major stakeholders to ensure a successful outcome for our client.

Our knowledge of certain long lead order items helped to ensure that we placed orders very early in the process so that delivery would not affect the schedule in any way.

Many of the owner’s specialized equipment suppliers were USA based, so we needed to coordinate with the suppliers to ensure that their delivery timeframes would not affect our construction timeline.

Connect With Southwest And Midwest Design & Construction

Despite facing these obstacles, this was another successful project. We are very proud of our team’s collaborative efforts, again ensuring total client satisfaction by completing the project on time and on budget!
