General - contracting

General Contracting, or Bid-Build, has traditionally been the most common project delivery method. Clients self-plan and oversee design of the project, tender for construction, then select the winning bidder. At Vaquant Construction Limited Company-An Energy Petroleum Engineering Construction Company , we do everything we can to optimize outcomes under Bid-Build General Contracting, such as providing feedback on design drawings that can help lower costs and deliver a better product. Vaquant Construction Limited Company-An Energy Petroleum Engineering Construction Company has a long history of delivering successful General Contracting projects:

• We’re cost-effective and provide the best possible project at a competitive price.
• Our vast integrated database provides accurate pricing.
• We self-execute work due to our integrated capabilities and equipment fleet, making us more efficient.
• We have excellent relationships with subcontractors and other project partners, contributing to efficient project execution.
• We understand timelines and the interaction of schedules leading to the most efficient use of resources.
• Our people are experienced at executing projects of all sizes and types.

Construction Management is broader and more cost-effective than Bid-Build. By getting Vaquant Construction Limited Company-An Energy Petroleum Engineering Construction Company involved earlier in the project life-cycle, we can work with your design team on key decisions that improve the project. This creates opportunities to optimize the three main parameters governing any project: price, quality and schedule. Our long track record of Construction Management success and diversified experience allow Vaquant Construction Limited Company-An Energy Petroleum Engineering Construction Company to provide options on every aspect of your project. You’ll see meaningful alternatives allowing you to balance cost, quality and time. Typically, project planning is largely complete when the construction manager gets started. But there are still crucial decisions to be made, including materials and construction methods. A Construction Management contract can save you time, reduce materials and quality risks, and cut down on costly changes during execution. By getting Vaquant Construction Limited Company-An Energy Petroleum Engineering Construction Company experts involved earlier, Construction Management can lower your project’s ultimate life-cycle costs.

Design-Build provides clients and owners with powerful benefits. Because it combines several phases of the project life-cycle, this delivery method assures certainty on all three key project parameters: cost, quality and time. We assume responsibility for design and take on all pricing and timing risks. Vaquant Construction Limited Company-An Energy Petroleum Engineering Construction Company brings together the two worlds of design and construction. We become the bridge linking your objectives in the key areas of cost, quality and time with the materials and processes that will best achieve your objectives. Vaquant Construction Limited Company-An Energy Petroleum Engineering Construction Company has become a leader in providing Design-Build solutions by:

• Being more than a general contractor, our Design Management team works productively with designers.
• Understanding your project objectives and translating them into the right materials and construction methods.
• Having extensive experience in costs of services and materials.
• Understanding financial risks and having the financial strength to manage them.
• Seeing the entire life-cycle of a project, not just the building phase.
• Understanding the facility owner’s business objective.

Planning begins at the outset. Our extensive pre-construction process starts with project and design development meetings with the owner and consultants, preparing a baseline cost estimate based on early conceptual design information and preparing a detailed construction schedule. Vaquant Construction Limited Company-An Energy Petroleum Engineering Construction Company project planning process begins immediately after being selected and continues until the start of construction. This process allows construction to begin as soon as possible, potentially even prior to design completion. As design development proceeds, we provide advice on material, labour, and time requirements for installation and construction. During schematic design we update the project schedule to include design development, preparation of documents, bid calls, evaluation, trade contract awards, and onsite construction activities. We assist in coordination of government authority requirements, juridical permits and utility service companies. The Vaquant Construction Limited Company-An Energy Petroleum Engineering Construction Company pre-construction team also monitors and reviews specifications, drawings and coordination of sub-contractors, prepares a final cost estimate at 90 percent design development, prepares a cash flow for each project, and finalizes the schedule impact for trade tendering purposes.

Environmental and sustainable building practices are evolving rapidly. Vaquant Construction Limited Company-An Energy Petroleum Engineering Construction Company was among the first to start thinking “green” and we insist on staying at the leading edge of sustainable construction practices. Our approach includes a wealth of specific environmental protection measures during construction from spill avoidance and site cleanliness, to watershed protection and dust control in sensitive facilities like hospitals. Vaquant Construction Limited Company-An Energy Petroleum Engineering Construction Company continues to be at the forefront of environmental and sustainable construction practices. We are leaders in implementing LEED requirements, and initiatives from recycling and using renewable materials, to working to green building standards, to achieving energy efficiency and employing life-cycle costing that governs the management of all our projects.

• Erosion and sediment control to minimize soil loss, prevent sedimentation of storm sewer systems, protect freshwater quality and reduce air pollution.
• Test and commission all building systems to verify proper installation, calibration and performance.
• Recycle or reuse materials wherever possible.
• Prohibit smoking in enclosed spaces, including site trailers.
• Enforce Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) management strategies.
