Construction

LEED-Certified Construction

Oswald is a proud supporter of green building and utilizing sustainable construction methods. That’s why we promote LEED® rating systems to our projects. With LEED®, we create healthy, resource-efficient, and cost-effective buildings that will last. We construct buildings to maximize occupant health and productivity, use fewer resources, reduce waste and negative environmental impacts, and decrease life cycle costs.

WELL-Certified Construction

The WELL Building Standard® is the leading tool for advancing health and well-being in buildings.  When clients are looking to deliver more thoughtful and intentional buildings that enhance the health and well-being of their employees, WELL® Certification is a vehicle for consideration.  Our goal when working with clients who are considering WELL® Certification is to ensure their real estate, operations, and executive teams are aligned in a shared vision for employee health and then helping them translate that vision into their buildings or spaces.

These processes start at the very beginning with planning. If you choose to utilize our Design-Build services, we can help design a building that minimizes waste and prioritizes the health of the occupants and the environment. When you choose sustainable materials sourced from ethical companies, you’re setting yourself up for success. Utilizing green construction methods is the final step in creating a project that will last.

Last Planner Scheduling

Our Last Planner solutions have been proven to significantly reduce the amount of time a project takes to be completed. Usually, a schedule is created before a construction project begins, and the project manager will schedule in slack time to account for any issues that arise. With Last Planner, these issues are solved before the work even begins.

When you choose Oswald, our field personnel plan the daily schedule. They coordinate everything from deliveries and possible logistics issues to figure out the most efficient way to compete the project. This results in time and money saved!

We’re experts in finding the right people for the job! We will handle procuring the best subcontractors fit for the project at hand, as well as oversee their work so you don’t have to. When you have one point of contact, your project gets done much more efficiently.

Oswald will manage your entire project from start to finish. From to day-to-day field supervision to big-picture decisions, we have it covered. You will have one point of contact through the construction process, so you won’t have to worry about keeping up with multiple aspects of the operation.

Safety is our top priority. We believe everyone involved in each construction project, no matter their role, is entitled to a safe and healthy working environment. We do not cut corners to get things done quickly. Safety is non-negotiable.

Our On-Site Quality Assurance Program is facilitated from the very beginning of your project through the very end. We set weekly standards and expectations, and work to get those met consistently. Our inspections are conducted weekly, and if something doesn’t meet our high-quality standards, we collaborate with everyone involved in the project to remedy that as soon as possible.

When your project is complete, we’ll handle the entire close-out process. We complete final examinations of the project before you move in, and if there’s anything you aren’t happy with, we are quick to fix it.

Lean construction refers to a method that minimizes costs, materials, and time while maximizing the overall benefits. The purpose of using this system is to understand what is necessary in a project vs. what is not needed. This reduces overall waste (both wasted time and wasted materials) which therefore reduces costs. How does this happen? It’s simple: by carefully planning a project, utilizing technology, and controlling the environment you’re working in via effective communication.
