Construction projects are a large investment for any company or governmental entity and PECS contractors proudly provide quality work on such projects.
Work performed by contractors should provide a finished quality product, which should last for years to come.
These projects - constructing a school, fire station, commercial building, industrial plant, etc. - are often viewed as career defining projects by the individuals leading those entities.
What should be a positive career-defining decision, could turn into an embarrassing legacy if quality work is not performed. A poorly constructed project could tarnish the reputation of the decision makers and serve as a constant reminder of failure.
When planning a construction project, selecting the right contractor for the work is imperative.
Hiring a contractor, who lowballs a bid, may seem good on the surface, but once they begin working, you may notice they are cutting corners in order to save time or keep cost low for themselves.
The ultimate result is a major regret and the need to spend additional money to fix the shoddy work and even more money on unexpected maintenance issues.
Quality construction is worth the extra cost, but what exactly constitutes quality construction?
PECS Saves Project Time
Many construction projects run on tight deadlines, with a few things being buttoned up just as the project is scheduled to finish.
When time is sacrificed, it degrades the quality of construction.
Although allowing too much time is costly to all parties involved, a moderate amount of time needs to be allotted in order for the work to be performed correctly and safely.
When workers are on a tight schedule, mistakes are made and attention to detail goes out the window. Additionally, when short on time, tradesmen and tradeswomen may work in a manner, which puts the safety of themselves and others at risk in order to complete a task and move onto the next task.
In order for quality electrical work to be performed, the correct amount of time needs to be allotted, so the electrical worker does not feel rushed to meet an unrealistic completion date.
PECS Works Safely
For the worker, their main goal each day should be to go to work, perform quality craftsmanship to earn a living and then go home in one piece.
By working safely and ensuring everyone else on the jobsite is working safely, tradesmen and tradeswomen can avoid making their employer pay a higher workers compensation rate. This means workers can help ensure there are no slow-downs or work stoppage due to injury or death.
One way to ensure tradesmen and tradeswomen work safely is to provide proper training, such as industry-leading OSHA safety certifications.
All PECS electricians and electrical workers are required to take OSHA safety courses.
PECS Works On Budget
In construction, contractors vie to give the lowest bid for a project, assuring the work will be completed a certain amount of time.
A quality contractor will have a track record of completing projects on-time and on-budget. The best contractor may not always offer the lowest price, or the shortest time, but they typically stay within their bid.
