BSI has successfully completed single projects as
small as $50,000 and as large as $150,000,000. While we have
the capacity to deliver jobs that are over $100,000,000, most
of our projects fall in the $7,000,000 to $15,000,000 range.
Safety, quality and cost-competitiveness are paramount on all
BSI projects.
Safety
BSI considers no phase of its operation more
important than providing a safe working environment for all
employees to earn their living, support their families, and
execute their work with confidence. Every element of a project
is carefully studied to insure that the work can be performed
safely. In fact, the work will not proceed unless it can be
done safely. The safety of our workers, and the workers of our
subcontractors, never takes a “back seat” to any project
schedule, financial or corporate gain, or other extraneous
factor. BSI is a charter member of the St. Louis Construction Industry
Substance Abuse Consortium and all BSI employees, office and
field, are enrolled and subject to the substance abuse testing
requirements of the Consortium. BSI is committed to safe work
conditions on its jobsites.
Quality
Everyone on the BSI team is extremely committed to
delivering a quality product. BSI’s total quality program
centers on the company principle that every client’s needs as
defined in the plans and specifications for their respective
project will be met or exceeded. Quality control is
implemented throrugh the review of plans and specifications
for constructability and cost effectiveness, detailed quantity
takeoffs in every category to totally know and understand the
job, extensive pre bid discussions and meetings with
prospective subcontractor bidders to explain quality
expectations, dialogue with the designers to fully understand
quality expectation levels, advance contact with material and
equipment suppliers to ensure conformance to specification
requirements, and assembling and pre-qualifying the best
available subcontractor and supplier firms and motivating them
to participate in our project bid base.
In the field, our quality control program starts with a
thorough review of subcontractor shop drawings by the project
engineering staff to assure that the contractor’s initial
planning conforms to the contract requirements and normal
practices for first-class workmanship. The BSI team will then
continue to work with the owner and design team throughout
construction and building commissioning to insure that the
building meets or exceeds expectations.
Cost-Competitiveness
For a company who excels at large projects, we watch the
(your) pennies like no one else. Our team comes from a “hard
bid” background and is driven to cost control all through the
project. We stay away from the “big job” mentality wherein
certain inefficiencies are just accepted. We truly believe
that at the end of the day, selecting BSI will ensure the
lowest overall project cost.
