Value
Walbridge continually seeks new ways to meet our customers’ goals by adding value, shrinking costs and accomplishing more in less time. Our employees are experts at using our sophisticated Web-based Project Management Controls System that integrates cost control, planning and scheduling, document control and manages materials and equipment. Walbridge is a pioneer in lean construction principles. Since 2001, Walbridge has concentrated on reducing waste and applying lean concepts to everything we do. Our savings from lean construction alone have amounted to nearly $9 million in the past four years.
Walbridge is ISO 9001:2008 registered. Every job site team implements a master project plan that builds quality into every project. We conduct internal audits, and external audits are performed by a third-party registrar. We employ continual improvement programs by including Opportunities for Improvement (OFIs), soliciting customer feedback, conducting subcontractor evaluations and providing training and development for our teams and partners. As a learning organization, we seek constant improvement using historical data including our Lessons-Learned Database and Value Analysis/Value Engineering Knowledgebase.
Founded in 1916, the company has grown steadily to become one of the top construction organizations in the country with over 700 full-time personnel.
