Services
O&G’s Construction Management team provides complete management and coordination of a project throughout its lifecycle. During design and pre-construction, the team provides services such as budgeting, value management, constructability reviews, scheduling, logistics planning, and phasing. The pre-construction plan is put into action during the construction phase, as our team coordinates the work of trade contractors and carries out the project management functions required to successfully complete the project on behalf of the owner.
O&G’s General Contracting team provides complete construction services for all aspects of a building project. Our experienced team works collaboratively with the project owner and architect to transform the design into a reality. We are capable of self-performing site, concrete, and carpentry.
O&G’s Design / Build solutions provide complete design, management, and construction services for clients seeking fast project delivery. Our Design / Build team works collaboratively with the project owner to design a project within scope of the client’s budget, while providing administrative management and construction services. The owner contracts solely with O&G making us your single source for design, construction, and fiscal responsibility.
O&G’s Program Management solution provides planning, programming, and administration to suit a client’s needs. Working on a consultative basis, our Program Management team becomes an extension of the client’s staff, providing administrative support and construction expertise in alignment with the client’s budget and strategic objectives.
Capabilities
O&G employs LEAN Construction practices to drive efficiency on our projects. These techniques eliminate redundancy and waste, enhance collaboration, and improve project outcomes. LEAN creates a consistent, predictable workflow that maximizes value and minimizes costs by reducing variation in design, procurement, and operations that benefit all involved. The LEAN process includes pre-planning with the trade partners, weekly work plan meetings, make-ready review sessions, and daily huddles for all trade partners on site.
O&G has completed more than 6,000,000 SF of LEED-certified or CT High-Performance Buildings. O&G has been involved in many aspects of sustainability and energy conservation including energy-efficient HVAC systems, electrical equipment, water-saving plumbing fixtures, and the use of sustainable materials for the construction of buildings.
O&G also has experience in net-zero construction, including installation of geothermal energy systems, photovoltaic or solar panel systems, energy-efficient windows, doors, lighting and appliances, and high-efficiency insulation.
VDC, or Virtual Design and Construction, takes a project from concept to completion virtually. It starts during the proposal process, by providing visual aids on how the team plans to approach construction. By utilizing Building Information Modeling (BIM) we can identify issues early to minimize/eliminate schedule and cost impacts on projects. Models are updated throughout the entire lifecycle of the project, resulting in an accurate, as-built model.
O&G utilizes drone footage and 360-degree photography throughout the lifecycle of the project to provide an unparalleled record of activities. It increases efficiency and accuracy, enhances safety, and documents the status of a project at a given point in time. A drone’s sharp, detailed images (which can be gathered from multiple perspectives) are helpful for documentation, and most importantly allow stakeholders to make more informed decisions.
