Lean Construction
EGC works with owners to achieve many goals, including design and construction of
buildings that are sustainable, environmentally friendly and/or energy-efficient.
Our team is experienced in pursuing LEED Certification or simply applying our knowledge
to reduce the cost of building operation and maintenance.
Creative “building solutions” are what set EGC apart from the industry. By accepting
the client’s needs as our own, we can focus on how to truly define a project. Once
we have a thorough definition of the project, our knowledge of how buildings function,
as well as how they are built, provides us a considerable wealth of ideas from which
we can draw to deliver projects better, faster and less expensive. Lean Construction
is a method of project delivery that incorporates principles of creating value and
eliminating waste by focusing all tasks on achieving the owner’s desires. Our role
as professional designers, builders and craftsmen, is to continuously improve our
service to our customer. We utilize the tools of this program to improve our service
and achieve quicker project delivery at lower total cost.
