Virtually every industry seeks continuous improvement, often focused on processes and people. When there are multiple teams of players on a project, it can be a tangle of lost quality, efficiency, and effectiveness. Whether it’s a sub-contractor that has different crews or a crew whose members change, or a medical center that adds new nurses to the staff, it takes time to get teams operating at maximum efficiency and productivity.
In the commercial and industrial construction industry, this challenge is magnified, because rarely are two projects alike. The systems are complex and unique, the engineering solutions are different, and the project teams may have never worked together before. In some cases, the players on a team may be new to each other as well. Can they be effective? Of course – it happens every day. However, the inherent challenges of team building and communication mean that building owners are often not getting the best possible value for their investment.
One of the often-overlooked benefits of off-site construction (OSC) is that this efficiency challenge doesn’t exist. In fact, companies like Epsilon Industries actually become more effective and efficient with each new project, because the team and processes stay the same, while experience and expertise grow. The result: every member of the OSC team becomes an expert on the systems they are involved with because the design-build approach and environment are consistent. With each new project, the collective wisdom grows and is then applied to the next project, and teams are consistent – a win-win for the whole project team, and particularly the end customer.
At Epsilon Industries, we recognize the innate value of turning what is a traditional risk and liability into a positive differentiator that ultimately benefits our end customer. Our proven processes untangle project confusion, streamline communication and enhance efficiencies, bringing the best benefits from each team involved to bear on the project.
