General Contracting
Built on Control

Trade coordination and site leadership that keeps critical paths moving and quality consistent.

Our Approach

How We Run Construction

Every Festbau project is governed by four operational pillars that ensure predictable outcomes, accountable teams, and zero surprises at close-out.

handshake

Trade Coordination

We sequence, manage, and hold every sub-trade accountable. From structural steel to finish carpentry, Festbau orchestrates the full trade stack to eliminate conflicts and maintain flow.

schedule

Schedule Management

CPM-based scheduling with weekly look-aheads and daily pull-planning. We identify float, protect critical paths, and recover slippage before it compounds.

Budget Discipline

Transparent cost tracking with monthly cost-to-complete forecasts. We manage allowances, control change orders, and protect your contingency from erosion.

health_and_safety

Safety & Compliance

COR-certified safety programs, daily toolbox talks, weekly site audits, and full compliance with OHSA and local building codes. Zero tolerance, zero compromise.

Controls

Visibility & Accountability

Project Controls Dashboard

Every stakeholder gets real-time visibility into the metrics that matter. No opaque spreadsheets—structured data, clear status, actionable insight.

Schedule Tracking

Baseline vs. actual progress tracked weekly. Variance reports flag delays before they hit the critical path.

Operational Intelligence

Site Logistics &
Risk Management

Before a shovel hits dirt, Festbau develops a comprehensive site logistics plan that accounts for material staging, crane paths, traffic management, and phased occupancy. We identify risks early and build mitigation directly into the schedule.

Logistics Planning

Laydown areas, crane swing radii, material delivery sequencing, and temporary services mapped before mobilization.

Safety Protocols

Site-specific safety plans, daily hazard assessments, fall protection programs, and confined-space entry procedures.

Risk Identification & Mitigation

Pre-construction risk registers with probability/impact scoring. We assign owners and track mitigation through close-out.

Quality Assurance

Quality & Safety

Our QA/QC framework is not a checkbox exercise. It is a structured system of inspections, documentation, and corrective actions that protects the owner's investment at every milestone.
