The Green Heart Construction Process

Green Heart Enterprises relies on tried and true strategies to complete our construction projects on schedule, on budget, and to the highest quality standard. Every time.

Pre-Construction Expertise

The pre-construction phase is critical to the success of any project - and we’ve never met a \ project that didn’t benefit from our early involvement. That’s why we provide early design and structural recommendations, thorough budget analysis and cost estimations, as well as detailed schedules. Owners, tenants, and architects have learned that bringing us in early in the project provides them with critical insight into potential issues and practical information that helps them move forward.

Thorough Cost Analysis & Budget Forecasting  

Being able to accurately estimate costs early in the project development process is both an art and a science. We pride ourselves on generating detailed cost estimates based on preliminary information or drawings. Later, we expand the level of detail as the drawings progress and the estimate or GMP is formed. The primary function of the detailed estimate is to identify and have a line item for every aspect of the work. This provides the basis for our value engineering and facilitates budget monitoring and control. Occasionally unexpected costs will arise, whether at the owner’s request or due to factors outside of our control. Our meticulous cost monitoring tracks all such budget variances and allows us to provide owners with a snapshot of construction costs, at any given point in time.

Stringent Subcontractor Selection

The quality of construction is directly related to the quality of the subcontractors we choose to work with on your project. Green Heart has established great working relationships over the years with many of the top subcontractors. 

We also put subcontractors through a stringent prequalification process prior to bidding to ensure that the most highly-qualified and experienced team is contracted for your job. We make sure there is a clear understanding of the scope of work, safety expectations, and project time constraints. We pride ourselves on maintaining clear, honest and ongoing communication with subcontractors as well as our clients.

Construction Management that Guarantees Success

Finally, it’s time to build. Construction management is a key element of projects that is often overlooked. We utilize customized construction project management services to meet the demands of each unique project. Our focus is on quality staff onsite to implement plans and manage day-to-day activities. And your consistent team provides leadership and coordination to improve schedule performance, minimize cost overruns and ensure successful construction projects.
