Working with an established construction partner empowers your project with deep industry knowledge. However, you want more than an experienced partner who says “good enough.” You deserve a partner who will think outside the box and continually ask: “What can we do better?”
You need someone who takes learned knowledge and continually strives to expand what they know, deepens their knowledge as individuals, as a team, as a partner, and as construction industry experts.
Continuous improvement in construction takes projects from good to great, as partners think strategically and identify opportunities to go above and beyond.
A good construction project management partner will meet your timeline and budget, but an exceptional one will think strategically and aim to deliver your space ahead of schedule and under budget. From day one, this includes evaluating strategies to drive value through early bid packages, creative scheduling and phasing, alternative materials that uphold design intent, and improved constructability.
At the Pottawattamie County Public Health Building, we strategically combined mechanical zones and optimized equipment placement, helping Pottawattamie County save more than $917,000 during construction. Throughout construction, we identified additional opportunities to drive value through alternative additions, thereby improving project outcomes.
We carry this approach throughout every project, pursuing opportunities to improve at every step.
For true experts, challenges are an expected part of the building process and an opportunity to improve in every project going forward.
Challenges are simply a part of the puzzle that is your project—and solutions are the pieces that help solve the complete picture. Over time, the strategies for solving those puzzles become second nature as they’re captured and repeated.
At Boyd Jones, we document how we navigate these problems and capture lessons learned in construction so we can quickly and easily implement those strategic solutions into future projects.
In our longstanding partnerships with Airlite Plastics and Baxter Auto Group, we have extensively documented the challenges and their solutions across our many projects.
This empowers us to easily apply our learned knowledge, often involving highly complex challenges or technical requirements, both in future projects together and in our other partnerships.
With more than 100 years of construction industry expertise, we’ve expertly navigated similar challenges, site conditions, and scopes across diverse projects.
This gives us direct insight into how to manage volatile market conditions, uphold safety, integrate technical equipment, ensure clear separation of construction activities on active sites, and deliver spaces our clients are proud to call home.
Leaning into our extensive industry knowledge and construction excellence, we implement best practices to deliver projects efficiently and with unwavering confidence for our partners.
For example, when completing complex renovations to transform the former Omaha Box Company facility into a modern industrial headquarters for Ceres, Boyd Jones led the project by adhering to recommended construction best practices. This allowed us to share our deep expertise to guide the complexities of the complex transformation.
A critical part of building success is acknowledging what went well—and asking how we can go above and beyond next time to do even better.
At the end of every challenge and project, we take time to come together, reflect on what worked, and identify opportunities for improvement. This construction performance optimization improves efficiency, refines our processes, and drives us to keep innovating our approach.
Evaluating opportunities for process improvement in construction, even in successful projects like Southeast Community College’s Diesel Technology and Welding Center, empowers us to continually refine our approach and be the best partner we can in the future.
We know our projects, our partners, and our communities are stronger when each individual is encouraged to voice their unique ideas, grow their strengths, and contribute their skills. When everyone feels empowered to speak up, our expertise grows from their creativity and strategic thinking.
In our partnership on Hillcrest Highlands, our preconstruction team worked closely with the client over 18 months to optimize the budget, develop cost estimates, and evaluate value-added opportunities. Through each individual’s expertise, we identified $2.5M in savings opportunities, empowering the client to incorporate significant value into their project.
This approach demonstrates the strength of encouraging thought leadership across all levels to continually improve our approach and the value we deliver to clients.
An experienced construction manager gives owners confidence that their partner can manage the complexities of bringing their building vision to life.
And choosing a partner who strives to refine their approach and values continuous improvement in construction will give you unwavering trust that innovation, strategy, and ambition are at the heart of your project.
