Turning adversaries
into allies.

Spend a short time inside the building industry and you’ll find a level of inefficiency and adversarial relationships that make meeting budgets and deadlines nearly impossible.

Companies use strategies to make money through adversarial means, from the GC to the trades to the material suppliers and anyone else that submits a bid on a project. It’s been a part of the traditional construction industry for as long as anyone can remember.

Companies will often bid unrealistically low to ensure they get the job. About a third of the way in, the plumber, or the roofer, or even the GC, will pull their men off the job, claiming they’re being asked to work outside their original scope. They only way they’ll continue is if they’re assured they’ll be fairly compensated above their original bid (commonly known as an “overcharge”).

While the two sides argue over what’s “fair,” the project falls behind schedule, and the project management schedule that was meticulously created bleeds red.

Pacific West “buys out” a project at the start so we never pay overcharges. It eliminates overcharges and any incentive for someone to stop working. In fact, it has an opposite effect. With our process, the sooner everyone completes their job (with the mandated quality), the sooner everyone gets paid.

That’s one way Pacific West does business Like No One Else. You’ll find dozens of other examples throughout our site, and by meeting with us.
