Women in Construction
As a part woman-owned construction firm, we truly couldn’t function without the women of West Coast GBC! They are integral part of our success and have carved out a respected reputation that we hope will inspire more girls and women to enter into construction as well.
Increasing the participation of women in construction brings diverse perspectives, critical skills, and talent to the table. It also stands to reason that creating more pathways for women would have a significant impact on the skilled labor shortage crisis.
Construction Management And The Triple Constraint
There are three primary factors or “constraints” to every construction project: 1. Time 2. Cost 3. Scope
These factors are fairly obvious on the surface; it’s how your contractor defines each one and in turn, manages them that makes all the difference when it comes to effectively solving problems and maintaining good working relationships. How a project leader determines what to do should be informed by a mixture of career experience and a thorough understanding of the client and the project intent.
Architect, Jennifer Luce Talks Windows.
Jennifer Luce has an almost poetic way of speaking about windows that can inspire a love for sweeping panes of beautifully cut glass and hand-crafted joinery in even the most shadow-loving of people. Our team has had the distinct pleasure of knowing and working with Jennifer for many years. As we move into the initial building phase of a significant private residence project designed by Jennifer and Luce et Studios, we sat down and talked with her about one of the most important features of not only this property but architecture as a whole, windows.
Healthy Gutters, Healthy Home.
When you move into your new property, it is a well-deserved time to settle in and enjoy your new home. One of the ways that we support our clients is by taking the guesswork out of maintaining their property going forward.
Insurance & Your Construction Project
Insurance may not be an interesting or fun part of your future project, but it is an essential component for providing peace of mind and protection. As a general contractor that places an emphasis on providing a boutique experience for our clients, an integral part of our approach is identifying and alleviating the perceived stressful aspects of the construction process.
