TEXAS’ PREMIER BUILDER: MISSION CRITICAL
ABOUT ROGERS-O’BRIEN CONSTRUCTION
Since 1969, Rogers-O’Brien has firmly established itself as a leading general contractor in Texas by providing a wide range of preconstruction and construction management services. Our unique approach consistently delivers high quality buildings in a variety of market sectors, exceeding the most demanding expectations. Ethics and integrity serve as the cornerstones for everything we do, and the adherence to these values has earned us a solid reputation. The commitment to our customers is evident in the dedication of our people, our open communication policies, pioneering technology, operational diligence and continued process improvement. Rogers-O’Brien is family-owned, with the third generation leading the company’s operations. The family attitude extends throughout our strong management team, many of whom rose up through the ranks to management. To our offices in Austin, Dallas and Houston, we have also actively recruited a forwardthinking new generation to energize us with knowledge of new tools, techniques and approaches to continually improve the way we deliver services. Others who have joined us in the past decade are seasoned construction professionals, hand-picked for their ability to grow the firm. This controlled growth approach has resulted in $1.5 billion in construction volume over the past five years.
SAFETY At Rogers-O’Brien, we always put safety first, believing it is our duty to provide the safest possible workplace for our employees, jobsite partners and clients. Our dedicated safety personnel directs our proactive approach to environmental, safety and health programs that Rogers-O’Brien has refined over the course of four decades. Our program includes customary requirements such as background checks and drug screening for all new employees; subcontractor compliance with our substance abuse policy and safety procedures; and maintaining a minimum level of OSHA 30-hour safety training for all management-level personnel. We also assign each new employee a work partner until the safety director has completed an assessment of that employee and identified his/her training needs. We have a long-established partnership with OSHA to identify and eliminate potential hazards in the industry and establish the safest environment possible for our subcontractors.We consistently maintain an Experience Modification Rate (EMR) well below industry average. Rogers-O’Brien won 2nd place in the National AGC Construction Safety Excellence Awards Competition and has won the ABC Safety Star Award for two consecutive years.
COLLABORATIVE PROJECT PLANNING The mission of Collaborate Project Planning is to proactively impact project cost and schedule through creating a higher level of document detail by conducting team constructability reviews during early document development. Rogers-O’Brien Construction implements Collaborative Project Planning (CPP) on all of its projects. This is a fresh approach to our preconstruction delivery process greatly benefits many of our projects. CPP focuses on engaging with the architect, its consultants and Owner immediately and intensely after our selection to most effectively prepare for the commencement of construction. During our constructability review, we provide more detailed information that assists the design team, RO’s preconstruction professionals, our trade partners and their personnel to more effectively and accurately prepare estimates and field documentation. By engaging in this effort early, it will significantly reduce the need for RFIs and lessen the need for architect changes to the design documents. What’s included in CPP: • Interdisciplinary coordination • Constructability reviews • Virtual Model Reviews • Model and document guidance • Building Envelope Review & Detail Development
TECHNOLOGY DRIVES QUALITY An early adopter of Building Information Modeling (BIM), Rogers-O’Brien actively uses technology to enhance team collaboration and achieve operational efficiencies, faster project delivery and lower total project costs. Our staff includes recognized industry leaders in BIM that have authored national journal articles and presented to international audiences. Our technology team keeps current on BIM software such as Autodesk Revit and Navisworks; Innovaya to generate quantities and costs directly from either architect’s electronic files or our internally built models; Timberline estimating software to develop and analyze project costs; and Primavera products for scheduling. This technology team also manages our online portal for all team members to distribute and electronically review project data and documents. Rogers-O’Brien harnesses the power of technology to improve project delivery in these key areas: •
During design, our estimators quickly develop new take-offs and re-price the effects of major design revisions like changing the building skin.
•
Laser scanning of existing structures helps coordinate renovation design.
•
Project managers analyze site logistics and construction sequences.
•
Virtual models are used by superintendents to show work crews exactly how completed work should look; IPads are used in the field to compare in-place construction to virtual models and quickly resolve any variances.
•
Subcontractors can pre-fabricate MEP systems, wall sections, or even entire rooms based on the model, reducing job site labor and clutter.
•
At project completion, information-rich 3D as-built drawings act as a virtual operating manual.
