Self Performance
One thing that's substantially different about Weigand Construction is that we prefer to do the work with our own people. We employ more than 250 of the area's top tradesmen carpenters, ironworkers, laborers, cement finishers, and bricklayers. Our company attracts the most talented craftsmen in the area, and they stay with us long-term.
Having our own skilled tradesmen produces significantly better results for our company and added value for our clients. We utilize technology to facilitate the work, placing Internet-enabled computers on most job sites to enhance productivity and communication among the project team members. We've found that self-performance offers many benefits:
- It gives us more control over the quality of the work, because we're not dependent on subcontractors.
- We can more effectively manage costs because we can direct our resources appropriately, bringing in more as required.
- Timetables for completion are more predictable because we can maintain the schedule of critical path activities.
As the expression in this business states, we're not a “paper” contractor. Self-performance is a fundamental part of the reason Weigand Construction has developed a reputation for high-quality work, and it's why so many clients keep coming back to us time and time again.
