To ensure quality is controlled on every project, CORE has adopted a four-phase quality control/assurance system modeled after the US Army Corps of Engineers program, as our quality management process. The four phases are: Pre-preparatory, Preparatory, Initial, and Follow-up.

CORE Construction, inc. has created and implemented a trademarked program called Operational Excellence™.This program contains specifi c metrics for tracking, managing, and maintaining exceptional (1)safety, (2)quality, (3)schedule, (4)cost control, (5)qualifi ed subcontractors, and (6)client relationships throughout the construction duration of each project. Each of these six factors has an associated goal and the execution of this program ensures that these goals are met. On a daily basis, CORE’s superintendent generates a daily report, tracking the status of each factor. On a weekly basis, the project’s entire executive management team, including CORE’s CEO, also review each factor providing feedback to the Project Manager for potential improvement. Utilization of the Operational Excellence™ pro-gram ensures effective construction administration and management on your project.

Our Business is the business of building - and the tracking of results in our business can be addressed under

six main factors and their respective goals Factors Goals1. SAFETY Zero Incidents, Zero Accidents. PERIOD.2. QUALITY Built to plans and specs to a quality that exceeds client’s expec-

tations. NO re-work.

3. SCHEDULE Built on ahead of schedule. 4. COST Project complete within budget. NO change orders.5. SUBCONTRAC-TORS

Built by qualifi ed subcontractors who care as much about Operational Excellence as we do.

6. CLIENTS The Client would hire us back again.
