“It is a great profession. There is the fascination of watching a figment of the imagination emerges through the aid of science to plan on paper. Then it moves to realization in stone or metal or energy. Then it brings jobs and homes to men. Then it elevates the standards of living and adds to the comfort of life. That is the engineer’s high privilege… To the engineer falls the job of clothing the bare bones of science with life, comfort and hope.”

valuable to building owners and property

managers. This unique service has proven

to enhance the competitiveness of our

clients by increasing efficiencies in

drawing production and design

coordination while reducing overall costs.

Our Team has developed an extensive

record of successfully supporting the

efforts of repeat clients in bridging the gap

between design and construction. We

Experienced members of the WIC Team are available to form

dedicated teams for multiple and concurrent projects. We

execute the Design/Build project delivery method with strong

emphasis on designers working side by side with constructors to

develop strategies for quality and cost effective projects. This

approach allows us to develop design packages that minimize

design schedules and focus on early acquisition of materials and

systems that are particularly volatile in cost or have long lead

times. These types of activities in close coordination with input

from the field construction managers are what constitutes true

Design/Build and are necessary for the project delivery method

to boost the added value to our Clients.

TECHNICAL CAPABILITIES

ur ability to manage each project successfully is rooted

in our most valued asset—our employees. They carry

out our policies in every facet of company business.

They manage and supervise how the work is executed, utilize

local and small businesses, control costs, develop and monitor

schedules, and administer the financial aspects of each project.

Our staff is responsible for coordinating and directing the daily

project activities, while drawing on the home offices of WIC and

our allied companies for additional support in self-performed

construction trades, subcontracting, estimating, construction

engineering, project controls, and safety. The following

management systems are implemented across the board for all

our projects and demonstrate a commitment to excellence and

added value for our clients.

Environment, Health & Safety Management

WIC is dedicated to the protection of the health and safety of our

employees, subcontractors, neighbors and clients; and the

protection & preservation of the environment. Our corporate

safety plan is a framework based on a structured integration of

best safety practices into our operating procedures. This

encompasses information sharing, benchmarking, team-working

and operating at the highest safety standards in the industry.

Many of our safety processes are more stringent than what is

required by the US Federal OSHA (Occupational Safety and

Health Administration) and other applicable regulations.

Through our commitment to continuous improvement, our

corporate safety plan is reviewed and evaluated by an

independent safety consultant on an annual basis.

O

12

Quality Control Management

WIC provides comprehensive oversight on each of its projects.

By consistently exceeding industry standards, we work to satisfy

our most demanding clients. Planning and controlling standards

are fundamental to the success of our projects. Quality is a result

of extensive planning, meticulous team coordination, and a

thorough program which establishes the guidelines to be

followed on each project. WIC provides the oversight and

direction necessary to ensure that issues are addressed from

initial project planning to project completion. WIC provides a

group of experienced professionals that not only share the same

vision, but possess the intrinsic abilities to achieve it.

Quality in construction is set early on by the design criteria, the

engineering and architectural design process, and the technical

specifications. Conformance to these standards is achieved

through field construction skills and methods, effective

supervision controls, and careful inspection. WIC plays a major

role in each of these stages throughout the course of every

project. We avoid future claims and minimize change orders

through a diligent plan of addressing constructability, schedule,

and cost early in a project's development. We enable our clients

to achieve optimum value by continually providing value

analysis throughout the life of each project. WIC maximizes cost

reduction, maintains standards, and minimizes adverse impact

upon the project schedule.

13

Building Information Modeling

The WIC Team strives to be a leader in innovation and the use of

cutting edge technologies that integrate design and construction

processes and add value to the project over its full life-cycle. We

offer a unique set of expertise in areas such as Building

Information Modeling (BIM).

Our teaming partners are experienced in using BIM authoring

software applications as a virtual representation of the building

design which accurately describes building geometry, physical

materials and characteristics of various building components. As

the design develops, the team can designate space planning

information and extract schedules of materials. Three-

dimensional spatial visualization allows the Team to make

decisions rapidly and early in the design process including 3-

dimensional modeling of the structure to plan erection

sequencing. BIM is used also to assign properties to

construction materials and building components which assist

with estimating and purchasing.

Interference (clash) detection of primary structural, mechanical,

electrical, plumbing and fire protection components is also

utilized by the team. The 2-dimensional plans, elevations and

sections are generated directly from the model. Many building

systems are also modeled with intelligent objects. Clash

detection and construction planning are possible through model

interoperability across various software platforms. Post-

construction, the model becomes a useful tool for as-built

documentation and has the potential to interface with building

operations and maintenance. With BIM we are able to build the

project virtually before we build it on the ground. All these

activities add value to the process and prevent costly delays or

changes.

“It is a great profession. There is the fascination of watching a figment of the imagination emerges through the aid of science to plan on paper. Then it moves to realization in stone or metal or energy. Then it brings jobs and homes to men. Then it elevates the standards of living and adds to the comfort of life. That is the engineer’s high privilege… To the engineer falls the job of clothing the bare bones of science with life, comfort and hope.”

Herbert Hoover, 31st President of the United States.
