We believe that this is why our repeat business ratio continues to exceed 90%.
Our focus on service, safety and quality alleviates the stress normally attributed to the construction process.
Delivering a project on budget and on schedule requires competent attention BEFORE and during the construction phase.
Pre-construction scheduling, estimating, constructability reviews and value engineering are all critical to a successful project. That is why EDiS has developed COMPASS to fully integrate the project goals into the project planning.
At EDiS, we take a very systematic approach to our Construction Project Controls. We call our system COMPASS. COMPASS has been designed to plan the process in advance, establish goals specific to the client, record those goals and progress, and constantly measure success.
We begin the COMPASS process with an interactive workshop that we call the COMPASS Planning Session. At the COMPASS Planning Session, all of the stakeholders are invited to express their objectives, concerns, creative ideas, and vision of success. Depending upon the complexity of the project and the number of stakeholders, the COMPASS Planning Session can last one hour or one day.
The goals established in the COMPASS Planning Session are taken seriously. They become the criteria upon which we will navigate the project through the challenges of budget, schedule, quality, procurement, risk management, etc… The goals and data that are collected at the COMPASS Planning Session are recorded and updated in a binder…the Atlas. Every stakeholder is given an Atlas to refer to as the project progresses and to hold important project information.
During the COMPASS Planning Session, the team establishes the criteria upon which the success of the project will be measured. All aspects, including communication, quality, cost, schedule and safety, will be reviewed. When the project is fifty percent complete, an independent team of EDiS executives will audit the project using the criteria established at the planning session to evaluate if the goals are being achieved. At the completion of the project, a different team will use the same criteria to conduct a final evaluation session with the customer. Over the past thirty years this system has allowed us to accumulate a vast understanding of project risks to how to proactively address them.
Our first and last responsibility is to proactively provide total jobsite safety for our employees, contractors, clients and the general public. We require that our employees and contractors actively participate in implementing our goal to provide clean and safe construction projects that will truly benefit the health and safety of all those involved in the construction process.
Zero accidents is our mission.
Contractors must:
"We highly recommend them for their professionalism, honesty and dedication to getting the project done on time and on budget."
"Your attention to detail, organization, documentation, estimation, and architect/contractor relationship skills all contributed to a well-run job; true to the design and functional intent of the buildings."
"As a result of the great facility at our Brandywine Imaging facility and the continued renovation projects that we have been partnered with in years past, I believe we could not have a better partner than EDiS in all of our construction needs in the future."
"Also, EDiS is to be complimented for an excellent safety program. EDiS kept Sussex Tech well informed of coming events and worked with our staff to develop an excellent plan, which kept students and staff separated from construction activity."
"I want to convey to the entire EDiS team our delight with every phase of this project. Construction can often be a confusing, grueling project for those not familiar with the process. EDiS made it a joy! Few words could convey our appreciation for their advice, hard work, and attention to detail."
"EDiS’ attitude towards quality and safety have not changed a bit since I started working for this company 43 years ago. We strive to construct the highest quality buildings that exceed the expectations of our clients while maintaining safe work environments for all involved with the project. Our goal is Zero Accidents. By achieving this goal I can be sure to send every person who walks onto my jobsite, home to their family and friends that night."
"Winterthur and EDiS have worked together for decades. Due to this experience, EDiS has developed a keen appreciation for performing complicated construction projects within the historically sensitive buildings and grounds of Winterthur. EDiS has been there for us in emergency situations as well, being able to concentrate expertise on-site very quickly. I have particularly enjoyed maintaining a relationship with EDiS staff.....the people who I started working with years ago are still today only a phone call away."
"Instead of handling our requirements as obstacles, we felt that EDiS was part of our team, working with us to make us ready for our opportunities. Our points of contact for the project were customer-oriented, flexible, and always willing to go the extra mile."
"It is not often that we see such safety conscious employees throughout an entire organization. The employees have made safety more than just a priority; they have made it a value, something that unlike priorities, rarely changes. To recognize this is one thing; to live it is another!
You continuously display your company's safety and health culture for all to see and follow. Your employees are proud to be a part of such a culture, and it shows."
One company. A full spectrum of building solutions.
