ROBINSON CONSTRUCTION SAFETY, QUALITY, AND TECHNOLOGY
We Take Safety Seriously
Ensuring Safety for All
At Robinson Construction, not only do we strive to provide a safe, healthy, and incident-free work environment, we EXPECT it.
We take our responsibility to keep clients, subcontractors, and the general public surrounding our job sites very seriously. From start to finish, with monthly, weekly, and daily safety training and analysis, we continuously focus on safety in all aspects of our business.
Work Safety and Accountability
The following safety philosophies are ingrained in every Robinson Construction employee from day one:
- Stop Unsafe Acts
- Do the Right Thing Every Time
- Zero is Possible
- Zero is not our goal, it’s our EXPECTATION
Zero Incidents
Zero Incidents is not our goal, it is our EXPECTATION, which may seem unattainable to some at first; however, by pre-planning construction activities, identifying potential hazards, and coming up with solutions before construction even begins, an expectation of Zero Incidents is not nearly as impossible to realize.
Top-Notch Quality
Dedicated to providing quality projects that make our clients and subcontractors proud. We demand quality construction from all engaged parties and work WITH our clients to deliver quality projects, frequently under nearly impossible schedule deadlines.
Internal Quality Program
We are meeting all project requirements – the requirements of the design, the contract, and the client.
We are continually improving – regular training on quality related topics allows our employees to identify potential issues before they occur.
Rework is reduced or eliminated – issues are identified and corrections made as the project evolves rather than at the end of the project. Finding mistakes in the field is not effective quality control; putting the processes and controls in place to prevent mistakes from occurring is our ultimate goal.
Our clients are satisfied – our goal is to build projects of the highest quality; projects that exceed our clients’ expectations. We understand that quality control and productivity are not inversely proportional, as we are aware of the consequences of rework, and more importantly dissatisfied clients.
Improving Speed and Efficiency with the Latest Software
State-of-the-Art Technology
At Robinson Construction, we bring the latest technology in design and construction to bear on all projects we undertake. From cloud-based project management systems and supervisors with tablets instead of paper drawings to the latest in BIM technology, our management staff utilizes this technology to ensure that our projects run smoother and finish faster, utilizing fewer resources than the competition. Below are just a few of the technologies utilized on our job sites.
Procore
Procore is our cloud-based project management software. In this software we track nearly all project communications, RFIs, submittals, drawings, meeting minutes, etc. This software allows project data, drawings, and the BIM model to be available to field supervision through smart phones and tablets. Room tags are placed in each room which link to relevant submittal data and RFIs from scanning a QR code with your phone. Analytics is also utilized to predict safety and quality trends before they become issues.
OpenSpace
OpenSpace is a 360-degree photo documentation software. This is generally viewed at the beginning of each OAC meeting. This allows the client the ability to see a recent image from any area within the building and compare progress to a previous date. It also allows for remote QC inspections.
Truelook
Truelook is a jobsite camera system that creates time-lapse videos and offers live video feed. This allows our clients to check-in on their projects from anywhere at any time.
VisualLive
VisualLive is our augmented reality software. Using this software, the client can see the finished product on an iPad while walking through the incomplete structure. This is a great tool for communicating the final appearance of a particular space.
BIM
Our entire team utilizes BIM for nearly every project, with cloud hosted BIM 360 Collaborate and clash detection. Our design teams and our field supervisors utilize the BIM model for coordination and visualization.
Primavera P6
Undeniably the most power scheduling software that exists today. The schedule is created to include all aspects of the project: design, procurement, construction, and commissioning. While P6 is a great software, it can be difficult for non-construction personnel to interpret – which is why we link our schedules in Procore for our clients. This allows for straightforward viewing of both the overall schedule and the upcoming tasks.
Laser Scanning
We utilize laser scanning for numerous tasks, but primarily quality control checks on general building projects. Laser scans can be completed during floor pours to measure flatness and levelness while the concrete is still wet. Scans can also be completed of structure or rooms to determine tolerances for level and plumb and compliance with details. What would have taken a QC inspector a day to check can now be checked with a seven-minute laser scan.
This is just a sample of the technology that we employ on our projects. We firmly believe that advanced technology can improve how businesses run and projects are constructed.
