Core Services

Whiting-Turner's core offerings revolve around several key construction delivery methods, designed to meet the unique needs and complexities of different projects:

• Construction Management: This service involves overseeing the entire construction process from inception to completion. Whiting-Turner acts as a client's advocate, managing budgets, schedules, quality, and project risks. Their role often begins during the pre-construction phase, offering value engineering, constructability reviews, and cost estimating to optimize project outcomes before ground is even broken. Throughout construction, they coordinate all trades, manage subcontractors, and ensure adherence to safety protocols and quality standards.

• General Contracting: As a general contractor, Whiting-Turner assumes direct responsibility for the execution of the construction project. This includes supervising all construction activities, procuring materials, hiring and managing subcontractors, and ensuring the project is completed according to the plans and specifications. Their long-standing experience enables them to effectively manage complex on-site operations, maintaining tight control over project timelines and costs.

• Design-Build: This integrated approach streamlines the construction process by combining design and construction services under a single contract. Whiting-Turner, often in collaboration with design partners, takes sole responsibility for both the design and construction phases. This method fosters greater collaboration, reduces potential conflicts between designers and builders, and can lead to faster project delivery and greater cost certainty for the client.

• Integrated Project Delivery (IPD): IPD is a collaborative project delivery system that brings together all primary project participants ? owner, architect, and contractor ? into a single, cohesive team from the project's earliest stages. This method is characterized by shared risk and reward, open communication, and early involvement of all key stakeholders. Whiting-Turner's participation in IPD projects leverages their extensive experience to optimize project performance, enhance value, and maximize efficiency through shared knowledge and collective problem-solving.
