D3's Construction Approach Overview

Understand the Goals

We build for our clients and with our clients. We often engage early to fully understand the vision and goals of a project. We partner with our clients, designers, and trade contractors to meet and exceed those project goals, whether they relate to cost, quality, schedule, safety, or more. Our approach to project delivery is collaborative and flexible to ensure predictable results.

Project-Specific Procurement

Our project procurement process is focused on getting qualified trade contractors engaged on the project with the right scope and approach to meet the project goals. We are flexible to allow for early release packages, direct purchase of long lead items, prefabrication, design-assist, design-build and more. We collaborate with estimating, scheduling, our project teams, designers, and clients to ensure a complete scope and delivery are procured for the project.

Logistical Planning & Scheduling

Whether it’s an occupied multi-phased renovation, a tight urban site, or a project in the suburbs on an active campus or a remote site, we know how to plan and execute projects. We plan and communicate shutdowns, street closures, crane plans, deliveries, site access and storage, and all onsite inspections and coordination with local municipalities. We understand that time is money, so we bring the right resources to bear on developing a dependable and accurate project schedule. The use of 4D scheduling allows us to review critical activities and visually communicate the approach to delivering the project so to guarantee predictable results and no surprises throughout all phases of project delivery.

Safety & Quality

Safety and quality are on the forefront of every project at D3. A rigorous plan, do, check, act approach to site specific safety orientations, pre-task planning, and more allows us to ensure the best product is delivered, eliminates uncertainties, while ensuring the safety of everyone involved or affected. We invest in the training of our employees and engage qualified contractors to ensure the project is delivered in line with the expectations of our clients, while allowing everyone to return home at the end of the day. We create a culture of pride and respect in the work product and promote behaviours that generate a culture of safety first. These processes save our projects valuable time and money while ensuring our clients end up with a one-of-a-kind building they can rely on. At D3 – safety and quality are in our DNA.

Project Closeout & Commisioning

Our team finishes the project strong, and our rigorous processes ensure the building looks, feels, and functions as intended. We have experience through all aspects and details of completing and verification of a project. We create and use internal completion checklists, as well as pre-functional checklists, startup procedures, testing and balancing, punch list, acceptance, training, and turnover to ensure a smooth project completion and turnover.
