General Contracting and Engineering
The ability to successfully manage a project begins with an exceptional estimating team, dedicated to ensuring the lowest, yet most accurate bid. Prior to bidding a project, EDGE's estimators broadcast Invitations to Bid, via fax, to over 5,000 subcontractors and vendors contained in its database. This Subcontractor database is continually updated, to ensure qualified, broad-based coverage thus the most competitive bid possible.
EDGE's estimators are unsurpassed in their ability to accurately take off concrete and framing, for EDGE's self performed work. This expertise also gives EDGE an advantage, when bidding Multiple Prime Trade Packages.
Once EDGE is deemed the lowest responsive bidder, our Project Management Department takes over, reviewing the plans and specifications, contacting Subcontractors and processing contracts, submittals and schedules. Our Project Managers have earned the reputation for ensuring all Subcontracts are executed and submittals have been processed, often within the first 90 days on large projects and within thirty days on smaller projects, with short time frames.
A Project Superintendent is immediately assigned to the project, to allow them time to thoroughly review the plans and specifications, and initiate any Requests for Information, which may be needed prior to construction. The Superintendents are furnished with a completely functional jobsite trailer, fully equipped with a fax, phone, copier, e-mail, conference area and jobsite assistant. EDGE's field personnel are computer literate and generate their own correspondence, RFI's, schedule confirmations, etc.
EDGE sets the pace of the project by self-performing structural concrete and framing work. EDGE's crews are highly qualified in these trades, and their desire to produce quality, cost effective work, is mirrored in the finished product. EDGE's trade supervisors pride themselves on being the best in the industry. In addition to self performing structural concrete and framing for our General Contracting projects, EDGE also performs this work for Prime Trade Packages.
EDGE's systems, organization, preplanning and team work approach, ensures that all goals are reached. The results of hard work and dedication are evident in each project, as well as the outstanding testimonials provided by our clients.
