Complexity of Building Construction

The least costly time to reduce or eliminate the risks of construction defects is before construction is ever started. Unfortunately, many projects proceed to construction with conflicts, discrepancies, ambiguities and impossibilities built right in. Lack of knowledge of building codes, construction procedures, standard methods and practices and management techniques are frequently the cause. The results are predictable; change orders, cost overruns, delays and litigation.

Many "off-the-shelf" plans and procedures have been developed from past practices using information that is significantly outdated or simply not applicable. As a result, these are not suitable for use in a changing code environment.

With WBC acting in an advisory capacity, critical gaps in the construction process can be eliminated.  We do not replace the need for architects, engineers or contractors.  We simply make the process more cohesive and support the various experts involved.
