McCARTHY— BY THE NUMBERS
5 McCarthy understands construction
activities come with inherent risks.
There are simply no second chances
in our industry. Because of this, we
go above and beyond the normal
safety measures to protect everyone
on the project and nearby. As a result,
McCarthy has been recognized by
the National AGC as the safest large
contractor in America. McCarthy’s
standard safety program is customized
to encompass the unique safety
challenges and potential hazards
present at every project, while
conforming with owner-specific safety
guidelines.
Our total commitment to safety has
paid dividends for everyone involved. In
every significant measure, McCarthy’s
safety performance has not only
been top-class, but has consistently
improved.
McCarthy strives to not only be the
safest commercial construction
company in America, but to
continuously find ways to improve our
safety numbers ever single year.
Our safety philosophy is built on the
notion that everyone needs to be on
the same page for a safety program
to work. We’ve taken a team-centered
approach for safety to a new level by
partnering with OSHA and becoming
part of their Strategic Partnership
Program (OSPP). This has allowed us
to create a relationship that is bound
by collaborative agreements; and not
traditional enforcement methods.
Additionally, Cal/OSHA has recognized
McCarthy’s risk for serious accidents
is significantly lower than others within
the construction industry and has
awarded McCarthy participation in their
Voluntary Protection Program (VPP).
This is the highest award an employer
can achieve. There are very few VPP
companies, and those that have
received this recognition are considered
workplace safety and health leaders
within the industry.
Our Safety Culture
Our #1 Goal is to build each project
with ZERO injuries & accidents
66 McCarthy is committed to creating an environment where employees follow quality guidelines, consistently see others taking quality-focused actions, hear others talking about quality, and feel the collective drive to pursue the highest possible quality at every turn.
Unlike traditional quality control programs, McCarthy utilizes a proactive, hands-on approach from design and preconstruction through the end of the project. This ensures our team embodies your quality standards before and during construction.
Our strategy for delivering an efficient, durable, world-class project is based on a few key principles:
» Create and lead a project-wide “Culture of Quality”.
» Prepare high-quality and constructable design documents. » Establish a quality control process that fosters healthy communication between all stakeholders. » Provide adequate staffing and clear responsibilities to ensure execution of the project-specific quality control plan.
With McCarthy’s dedicated staff, proven processes, and executive management support, our quality team will maintain a consistent and clear message throughout the process: Let’s do it right the first time. We will align team expectations early so that this message carries through each phase of the project.
Quality Driven
7 Preconstruction Methodology
We work best when we work together.
performance teaming, we break down company silos, create horizontal competence in teams, unify disparate groups within the various organizations, and focus on the project’s success first, before any individual agendas or goals. Each time we have utilized high-performance teaming it has been a success from all parties and project stakeholders.
Utilizing high-performance teaming allows the team to
focus on the tasks at hand, forecast risks and opportunities, manage systems, encourage professionalism and
collaboration, and resolve conflicts. All projects come with their own set of challenges, but through this approach, team members become better suited to overcome potential obstacles and take proactive steps to limit risks surrounding things like cost escalation, functionality uncertainties, unique construction/material requirements, and inter-disciplinary trade coordination.
With a high-performance preconstruction team established, managing risks will be a collaborative effort of all team members.
At McCarthy, we pride ourselves on the level of
preconstruction efforts we provide. We understand every great project starts long before breaking ground. Solid preconstruction services are critical to the development of realistic budgets. Through value analysis, constructability review, trade partner engagement we ensure you are able to bring your vision to life.
The most important aspect of our preconstruction
methodology is the team approach we embrace within all
aspects of the project delivery process. The critical elements of a strong team are established through commitment,
communication, and trust among team members. Setting
realistic expectations and continuously evaluating the team’s ability to achieve the desired results is the ultimate measure of this collective effort.
We have found a commitment to high-performance teaming
and partnering can make a distinct difference in the level of success seen in a project, along with the camaraderie developed within a project team. With the use of high-

Our Goal is to Meet
AND EXCEED Your Goals
9 Our goal is to not only complete the project successfully in terms of your budget and schedule goals, but to ensure the experience throughout every aspect is enjoyable. McCarthy will utilize our expertise in preconstruction services to provide scheduling, estimating, constructability review, and subcontractor budgeting. Our efforts to serve in this capacity will continue into construction and through project closeout and warranty.
One of the differences you get with McCarthy is the strength of our preconstruction team. Our proven success in
preconstruction is due to McCarthy’s internal focus on value engineering (or value analysis), estimating, constructability reviews, quality control, subcontractor coordination/bidding, and scheduling. This focus, combined with collaboration and input from our trade partners, means we can always arrive at the best possible value for our clients.
In addition to our strength in preconstruction, McCarthy is proud to be a company of true builders. We have assembled our own craft labor, significantly invested in our own forming systems, and have developed internal systems to manage
the design and construction of complex structural concrete systems. Our ability to self-perform concrete at a world-class level is a core competency within McCarthy’s San Diego office, where our project management staff and local crew members Preconstruction Services
are true, experienced, and tested expert builders. This experience allows our team to provide valuable insight into constructability reviews, project planning, and project phasing during preconstruction and construction. The benefit this provides to our clients lies in our ability to drive the schedule, quality, and safety goals for our projects. Our experience as true builders allows us to ensure success on every project.
During preconstruction, McCarthy will:
» Participate in design meetings.
» Perform cost model reviews.
» Facilitate document reviews for constructability and RFP completeness.
» Engage key subcontractors for additional drawing reviews and budgeting.
» Offer value analysis.
» Track all options possible to ensure the right level of flexibility is provided in the different spaces in each building.
This process allows the entire team to validate project goals, budget adherence, constructability reviews, fire life safety peer reviews, identify critical milestones, and provide solutions early.
Our tools enhance our ability to provide accurate information to support decision making by the collective team.
PRECONSTRUCTION TOOLBOX
