DESIGN/BUILD CONTRACTING

Our design-build contracting method combines design and construction work in a single point of responsibility. By holding responsibility in one contract, we expedite the construction delivery schedule and shorten durations which, in turn, will reduce cost of supervision/general conditions and ultimately save money for our clients. This method of contracting is often preferred by clients to speed up or “fast-track” the project, so that the ROI can be capitalized more quickly.

GENERAL CONTRACTING

We have been providing the traditional “design-bid-build” delivery method of general contracting since we were founded in 1977. Our experienced team manages our own crews of carpenters and laborers, as well as all special trades involved in all aspects in this delivery method. In this method of contracting, we typically provide our pricing after the project design is complete and construction starts typically upon award.

CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT AT RISK CONTRACTING

The CM at Risk delivery method brings Welsh to the table early during the design process so that we can provide costing, scheduling and constructibility reviews while the design is being developed. This method brings our construction expertise to the preplanning process and mitigates the risk of the project running over budget. As an early member of the Project Team, often we develop a guaranteed maximum price (GMP) so that long lead items can be ordered so as not to delay the project.  Like the other contracting service methods above, we are the point of responsibility for the project's timely delivery.

PROCESS

OUR PROVEN PROCESS

We deliver on our word.

Our team utilizes several best practices to ensure we deliver as promised, we call this proven process  “The Welsh Way,” which is based on three principles:

Start Strong_LOGO (1).png
WORK

01

 

Our team hits the ground running and understands that more planning and discussion on the front end pays dividends at the end. Our approach is to leave no stone unturned and to attack our projects at start up.

Start Strong

02

Stay Strong

Welsh meets as a full team, including executive-level leadership, on every project weekly. We understand that removing obstacles and being proactive requires all hands on deck in a collaborative approach.

03

Finish Strong

Everybody knows how difficult it can be sometimes to score a touchdown from the 20-yard line. That is why every project develops a Finish Strong Plan that is reviewed by the whole team when the project starts nearing the 20-yard line, or 80% completion. The team reviews the tasks and potential obstacles in front of them and formulates a plan to succeed despite them.

LEADERSHIP

Our team of experts at Welsh Construction offer knowledge in a variety of fields and commercial property construction types, including design build, tenant improvement, healthcare, corporate, retail, nonprofit, industrial, education and more.
