Our Proven Processes
At VALIANT we recognize that with adequate planning, clear communication, well-defined responsibilities and goals, we can safely deliver projects that are on time, on budget and benefit all parties involved. We’ve defined critical phases of every project as Bid Well, Handoff Well, Start Well, Build Well, and Close Well. Together these processes create the VALIANT Way. Each process is a building block to completing a successful project, consisting of milestones and responsibilities.
Together we call these phases “The VALIANT Way”. Each phase works together and each depends on each other. Inside each phase of the The VALIANT Way is a defined set of milestones and responsibilities.
Bid Well
The goal of the Bid Well process is to successfully secure contract awards. The Preconstruction department works together to prepare and submit complete and thorough bids/proposals. During this process, VALIANT engages outside consultants, software utilizations, and subcontractor relationships.
Handoff Well
The Handoff Well is a seamless transitional phase led by the Preconstruction Team. The goal is to create a team dynamic amongst bid well and start well by effectively sharing bid/proposal details, changes, and expectations with the anticipated project team.
Start Well
On every VALIANT project our goal is to Start Well. In this phase our focus is on precise planning and preparation. We contract subcontractors and vendors, establish a detailed schedule, create a submittal register, and conduct regular reviews to ensure alignment. Mobilization preparations include organizing resources, equipment, and personnel for a seamless transition into the build phase.
Build Well
In the Build Well phase, we aim to streamline communication, documentation, and proactive issue resolution processes. Together, we prioritize maintaining thorough project records, establish regular communication channels, implement effective change and budget management practices, and develop a collective strategy to swiftly address any challenges that arise. It’s through our shared efforts and commitment that we ensure the success of our projects.
Close Well
In the Close Well phase, our team ensures exceptional project completion by confirming and documenting milestones with the project team. We conduct a final walk-through and punch list, complete CPARS documentation, obtain substantial completion letters, finalize billing, and conduct a project retrospective for lessons learned and improvements.
