OUR SERVICES
From Preconstruction to Closeout
The key to a successful project is fundamentally equivalent
to that of a successful relationship, namely, communication.
Preconstruction
Effective preconstruction minimizes project challenges and conflicts by placing an emphasis on quality control of the construction documents.
Comprehensive construction documents allow for proper development of cohesive work scopes, clear communication among stakeholders, and more effective document coordination prior to actual construction. Our team coupled with the expertise of our subcontractors and modern estimating technologies enables our quality control efforts to be a continuous process rather than an event.
During preconstruction, we will:
- Review applicable specifications, plans, submittals, and supplemental info to ensure materials and/or equipment delivered to the site comply with the contract documents
- Put provisions in place for required testing and/or certifications
- Ensure all required preliminary work has been completed
- Review appropriate safety and risk management issues
- Discuss procedures for constructing and coordinating work with other trades
Construction Management
Construction administration and management involves overseeing all aspects of a construction project – from inception to completion – no matter what surprises may come along each day.
This includes coordinating with architects, engineers, contractors, and subcontractors, managing budgets, schedules, and resources, ensuring compliance with building codes and regulations, and resolving any issues that arise during the construction process.
Effective administration and management are essential for ensuring the successful and timely delivery of high-quality construction projects while meeting client requirements and expectations.
General Contracting
General contracting involves overseeing and managing the entirety of a construction project.
This includes hiring subcontractors, coordinating and scheduling their work, sourcing materials, managing budgets, obtaining necessary permits, and ensuring that the project is completed on time and within budget.
General contractors act as the primary point of contact for clients, taking responsibility for all aspects of the project from start to finish, and ensuring that it meets quality standards and regulatory requirements.
Design-Build & Design Assist
- Conceptualization: We help our clients by identifying the key elements of their project, defining its goals and objectives, while assessing scheduling and logistics.
- Planning and Design: Once the project is deemed feasible, detailed planning and design work takes place. While Staples Construction is not a design firm, we work with numerous high-quality architects and design consultants, and we walk step for step with the Owner helping them choose the best architect and design team for their project. Once the appropriate design team has been put in place, we work with the design team to develop a complete set of plans and specifications required to meet the Client’s needs and wants for the project.
- Pre-Construction and Bidding: Our goal is to achieve the best project value and subcontractor solicitation/selection is critical in providing the most competitive and accurate price. We know not just any subcontractor is a fit for each project and each subcontractor must pass through an extensive filter prior to consideration. Subcontractors are interviewed and scrutinized to ensure each one has a clear understanding of all facets of the project and the schedule requirements.
- Permitting and Regulatory Compliance: Before construction can begin, obtaining necessary permits and approvals from relevant regulatory authorities is essential. This ensures that the project complies with local building codes, zoning regulations, and environmental requirements. We work with the design team to ensure that cost, scheduling and logistical impacts are addressed in the preconstruction phase and that applicable permits are obtained.
- Construction Execution: With all necessary preparations in place, construction can commence. This involves mobilizing resources, managing subcontractors, and overseeing the construction process to ensure that the project progresses according to plan.
- Quality Assurance and Control: Throughout the construction phase, quality assurance measures are implemented to ensure that work meets specified standards and requirements. This involves regular inspections, testing, and monitoring of construction activities.
- Completion and Handover: Once construction is complete, final inspections are conducted to verify that the project meets all contractual obligations and regulatory requirements. The project is then handed over to the client or end-user, and any necessary documentation and warranties are provided.
- Post-Construction Activities: After completion, project developers may provide ongoing support, maintenance, or management services as needed. Additionally, they may conduct post-construction evaluations to assess project performance and identify areas for improvement.
Civil and Site Work
As an open-shop contractor with a strong record of high-quality self-performed work, Staples has developed a core group of outstanding craftsmen.
Self-performing civil and site work refers to the capability of a construction firm to directly execute certain aspects of a project without relying heavily on subcontractors. In this context, it means that Staples employs its own skilled labor, equipment, and resources to complete specific tasks related to civil and site work.
Staples prioritizes our extensive capabilities in civil construction and often self-performs the earthwork and grading operations, especially on complex sites. This allows our team to have greater control over the quality, schedule, and cost of the project, especially on the front end activities while setting the expectation for work progression and schedule.
By managing the quality, speed, and efficiency of the project during the highest concentrations of risk, we mitigate the potential uncertainties of hiring third-party entities during the most critical period of the project.
And by having in-house expertise in these areas, Staples Construction can offer more competitive pricing and maintain greater flexibility in project scheduling.
SCC’s self-performed civil and site work include:
- Selective soft demolition
- Hard demolition
- Minor rough carpentry scopes
- Earthwork
- Grading
- Excavation
- Stormwater utilities
- Concrete work
- Paving
- Specialties (Division 10 items)
