team-build

its a win-win!

Approximately 80% of SCHAEFER’s contracting projects are executed using the TEAM-BUILD (negotiated) approach rather than BID-BUILD (bidding). We sincerely believe this approach is to the advantage of all parties – architects, designers, engineers, owners, and the contractor. Let us tell you why.

Cost Savings

Because the TEAM-BUILD approach allows all parties in the building process to provide input from the very beginning, the architect, designer, engineer, owner, and contractor can collaborate to identify potential “budget busters” before time-consuming and cost-intensive construction documents are completed. And, often, the initial site work can begin while the drawings are being finalized. This saves time and ultimately, money. In fact, we employ various methods to gain our clients quicker occupancy of their facility.

Shifts Responsibility to the Contractor

In a BID-BUILD scenario, most of the responsibility is on the architect, designer, engineer and owner to guarantee that bid documents, plans, and specs are complete and accurate. In a TEAM-BUILD scenario, much of the responsibility shifts to the contractor, including some or all of the following: – Design Accuracy – Completeness of Drawings – Overall Budget – Scope of Work – Site Conditions & Requirements – Field Conflicts & Schedules – Contract Management – Quality & Availability of Materials

Accurate Budget Setting

We have seen it time and again – the BID-BUILD process does not produce a true apples-to-apples comparison. That’s because many contractors will bid exactly to the plans provided, despite having identified missing elements. Others will include costs for elements that are not represented in the plans, but are necessary for a buildable project. In the TEAM-BUILD approach, budgets are created in concert with plans, so they reflect actual, true costs.

Full Disclosure

Full-disclosure on every project is standard practice for us. We have nothing to hide. As part of the TEAM-BUILD budget process, we provide an itemized breakdown of all costs involved in your project – including our fee!

Strong Teams

The TEAM-BUILD approach builds trust from the beginning, encouraging all parties to work together to make scheduling, executing, and pricing goals a reality.

“ We provide real value throughout each project’s lifecycle by maintaining budget and feasibility studies, value engineering models, construction phasing reports, project scheduling, and an open flow of communication.”

Tyler Kovarik Estimator

serving up safety

a core value

SCHAEFER General Contracting Services continuously strives to maintain its top-notch safety record. Operating a safe and secure job site is one of our core values, and we take this responsibility very seriously. Our goal is zero accidents! We insist all of our employees and sub-contractors wear and use the required personal protective equipment, follow HAZMAT guidelines when handling dangerous chemicals, and attend appropriate safety classes and training. All of our employees and sub-contractors understand that all OSHA and HAZCOM regulations must be adhered to at all times. To help ensure that accidents are the exception rather than the rule, SCHAEFER utilizes an Incident Protection Plan (IPP). The program begins with a pre-construction safety review in which our Safety Director, the job site foreman and any sub-contractors meet to identify any potential safety issues with a given project. Each job site then maintains a written copy of our Standard Safety Program, as well as a detailed description of the potential issues identified during the safety review, plus the IPP plan for avoiding accident or injury. At SCHAEFER, we’re very proud of our safety record, and you can rest assured all steps will be taken to make your project a safe one. Our safety policy addresses: – Loss Control Program – Drug & Alcohol Policy – Hazard Communications – Personal Protection Equipment – Tool Box Talks

– Respiratory Procedures – Fire Prevention – Excavation – Fall Protection – Scaffolding

– Blood Born Pathogens Training – Specific Job Site Safety Rules – Workers Compensation Program – Emergency Phone Numbers – Emergency Action Plans

SCHAEFER employs a third party consultant (J.V. Resources) to advise us on matters relating to safety. J.V. Resources visits each of our job sites and provides written safety reports to our management team.

“ Safety is the #1 priority on our projects. I insist on a safe job site.”

Louie Brown

General Superintendent Louie is SCHAEFER’s safety expert. He must read the safety manual every night . . . that’s how well he knows the rules and regulations of Kentucky’s OSHA Standards! Regular classes and seminars keep him abreast of the ever-changing regulations. He insists that all of his superintendents, laborers and carpenters stay current on required training and documentation, and that they adhere to all of SCHAEFER’s safety standards. Louie will see to it that your project will be run in a safe and secure manner.

going green

eco-friendly and eco-nomical

SCHAEFER understands the importance of implementing green building and renovation practices. Why? Because the potential benefits are measurable and significant. We strive to utilize green practices whenever and wherever we can because we want to help you reduce your carbon footprint and realize the potential benefits in the areas of: – Lower Energy and Water Costs – Lower Waste Disposal Costs – Lower Environmental and Emissions Costs

– Positive Impact on Environment – Increased Productivity of Building Occupants – Improved Health of Building Occupants

Recycling

Another element of effective green construction is proper recycling. At SCHAEFER, we establish and implement processes for recycling various materials found on your job site whenever possible. When appropriate, we bring in a separate container for collecting and recycling concrete, dirt, rock, steel and cardboard. Recycling these materials keeps them out of our nation’s landfills.

Erosion Prevention and Sediment Control

SCHAEFER has received EPSC certification which allows us to maintain and check all EPSC control measures that are normally handled by the local municipality. When they are unable to visit the site in a timely manner, SCHAEFER can perform the inspections and prevent any disruption in your jobs’ progress. This includes conducting the weekly required inspections and additional inspections whenever there is more than 1⁄2” of rain within a 24-hour period. The Best Management Practices that SCHAEFER implements are as follows: – Stone Bag Checks in Small Ditches – Stabilized Entrance – Temporary Sediment Basin – Silt Fence – Dust Control / HEPA Filters – Surface Roughing (hill/slope) – Storm Drain Inlet Protection (stone bags) – Erosion Control Blankets – Level Spreader (outlet for dike, changes – Temporary Seeding concentrated flow to sheet flow) (stockpiled materials) In this day and age, it is more than just a responsible decision to make every effort to protect our environment. It is a necessity! SCHAEFER General Contracting Services is continually staying abreast of the latest developments in LEED building, and we have project management that will bring this knowledge to each and every job we manage.

OVER 50 YEARS OF SERVICE SCHAEFER General Contracting Services was founded by Frank J. Schaefer, Sr. in 1954. Family owned and operated for over 50 years, SCHAEFER is one of the oldest full-service general contractors in the Louisville area. Frank Sr. started the business with just a truck and a toolbox from his home in Louisville, Kentucky . . . faithfully building the business for 36 years. Upon retiring in 1990, his son, Jim, followed in his footsteps by continually building the business at a consistent pace. Early on, the majority of our work was residential. As we grew in knowledge and experience, we won contracts with well-known companies such as Presbyterian Church (USA), PNC Bank, Beverly Healthcare, Atria and many others. We have maintained excellent, long-term relationships with these companies and many others locally and nationwide. Jim Schaefer is President and majority shareholder, with other key employees holding the remainder of the shares.
