CONSISTENT FOCUS ON DETAILS BEFORE THE PROJECT BEGINS ELIMINATES QUALITY NEGLIGENCE.

It's the first day of the project, and your team is scheduled to arrive on site and ready to go early to start demolition. Upon your arrival later in the day, you discover several challenges that have occurred within such a small window. 

By including the following quality control measures in the construction process, CuttingEdge is able to avoid pitfalls that can plague a project long before it begins.

One of the biggest problems facing the construction industry is not enough skilled workers to fill the growing demand.

​The benefits of a career in construction are not being sold to millennials and much or today's workforce is closing in on retirement.

CuttingEdge has developed the following processes to tackle this issue as it continues to grow on a national level:

• CuttingEdge is partnering with a local technical college to provide mentorship to college students that are interested in a career in construction through internship during the summer months.

• Through R.A.W. (Reentry At Work Mentoring Program), CuttingEdge is committed to providing help through mentorship to individuals recently released from prison adapt back into society. This program was created with the belief that with the right mentorship and community involvement, those with troubled pasts can pay their debt to society and make positive change in their life.

• With the assistance of construction staffing agencies, skilled workers are ready to work when the need arises. Applicants are pre-screened, which saves us time and gets us qualified workers quickly.

Communication tools

When things go wrong on a project, it is almost always due to a communication breakdown along the way.

With the ever-changing construction industry, CuttingEdge uses smart technology to save contractor time and foster better collaboration on projects with team members.

• PlanGrid app has made collaboration with team members and subcontractors an easy task by allowing us to integrate project plans, specs, and photos. Files are automatically synced once uploaded and a punch list feature allows us to track project progress. 

• OSHA's Safety Meeting app helps us to install a strong safety culture and avoid frivolous lawsuits while saving time on the worksite. The app allows our workers to take part of this training from their smart phones. Meeting  updates are made automatically and records required meeting attendance on a regular basis.

• FieldLens allows us to conveniently stay in contact with our team members so we can always know what's happening on the job site. To make connection a bite easier, the app works completely offline, which means no more losing touch when we're out on a rural jobsite.

Automated  change  order  process

By automating our change order process, CuttingEdge avoids "unaccounted for" charges to clients that invariably land a lot of construction company's in trouble.

Project changes are common and nearly inevitable in construction. By standardizing our process and workflow for managing such issues, we save money and time.

Once a project scope, budget, and timeline for a construction project has been outlined and agreed upon, we institute eSUB to develop a digital change order, automatically send out to bid to parties selected, organize bids received, and submit selected change order to all parties involved for agreement.
