Subcontractor Selection

One of Rockport’s greatest strengths is our knowledge and relationships with the local subcontractor market. Rockport has established a comprehensive database of qualified subcontractors throughout the DFW area. We understand the importance of utilizing reputable local subcontractors/suppliers and we will make every effort to keep the entire Rockport team updated on subcontractor performance on our projects. 

In a weekly operations meeting, the team shares notes about the performance of subcontractors on ongoing projects.  The information is then passed along weekly to the estimating team in order to keep the entire team updated with the most current information.

Project Management

When overseeing the bidding process and executing the project, it is our role to drive value, both in terms of our initial bid and by controlling the project to minimize change orders. We build our relationships based on performance, expertise and managing the responsibilities with which we are being entrusted.

Paying close attention to the work load of new and commonly used trades allows Rockport to further eliminate the amount of surprises encountered during the construction process.

QUALITY CONTROL

For any construction project, QC begins prior to onsite mobilization and continues throughout construction until the final delivery of the project.

Rockport’s project team reviews all design and construction documents, as well as shop drawings, for possible discrepancies throughout the course of the project. It is because of Rockport’s in-depth review that potential quality control issues are addressed early in the construction project before they become difficult problems to overcome.
