Arpi’s North Construction Services

nf-arpisnorth Construction commercial construction company

At Arpi’s North, we have strived to be a key figure in the commercial building contractor industry since 2007. With our knowledgeable and practiced team, we have completed several significant projects that are well-known to Edmontonians and visitors alike. These include Rogers Place, Edmonton International Airport, and West Edmonton Mall – to name a few. Our team of 300 and growing puts only the highest level of craftsmanship into our projects, with timing, safety, risk assessment, and quality assurance always at the top of our minds.

Project Schedule Monitoring

Grand openings are the fun part of any build – for us as contractors and for you as a building operator. But they tend to lose their momentum for excitement when the project runs late. Our project managers are experienced in balancing priorities and timelines and know how to keep a project on track. Our project managers use specialized and sophisticated software to oversee the planning, design, and construction of any project from start to end. Whether unveiling a whole new building or an upgrade to your space, Arpi’s North project managers have a strong workflow system that will ensure your scheduled project is completed right on time. Being knowledgeable in safety requirements and risk assessment, they can stop accidents before they even happen, which helps decrease time-consuming paperwork that many projects get bogged down in.

Interference Resolution

Disputes arise frequently. Depending on the severity, this can lead to delayed completion and costly financial losses. Our team is trained to control processes enabling any department or individual to remain task focused and filter out irrelevant information. By doing so, there will be avoidance of arbitration or litigation. By clearly defining roles, risks, and responsibilities, we avoid potential disputes.

Job-Costing Reports

We firmly believe in transparency. Our job-costing reports measure project performance against the original and current cost estimates. This is important to total the cost of materials, labor, and overhead applied to any specific project. This advantage also allows us to compare the cost of the project to its profit. Due to the complexity of job costing, we provide a complete picture of all costs associated with your project which includes a breakdown of unidentified issues that could affect probability. Our project managers will track the budget, progress, efficiency, and cash flow.

Quality Assurance vs. Quality Control

You may have heard the terms Quality Assurance (QA) and Quality Control (QC) used interchangeably. However, there are distinct differences between the two. QA and QC are two concepts our team values equally. Both are the foundation of any project’s success. QA refers to the process or actions taken to ensure the requirements are completed for the final project. There are several benefits to this, including increased productivity, minimal project error, and quality management. QC is the inspection of completed work or works in progress to ensure specifications and needs are met.

Our team of experts has all the necessary tools and technologies to make your project a success. Learn more about why Arpi’s is considered one of the top commercial construction companies.

Commercial Building Contractors: 7 Things You Should Look For

nf-arpisnorth Construction commercial building contractors, commercial construction company

At Arpi’s North, we are proud to work with some of the finest contractors and commercial builders in Edmonton. Throughout our over 50 years of experience, we have accumulated cost control and systems management of some of the largest, and most complicated commercial construction projects in Edmonton and across Western Canada.

We specialize in developing and implementing mechanical system designs, and we know that to complete any commercial-scale project, we can not work in a silo and must collaborate across trades and alongside contractors to accomplish the larger goal. That’s why we pride ourselves on vertically integrating our operation with the commercial project team, from engineering to construction. As the scope and functionality of projects differ, Arpi’s will partner with the consultants that have a proven track record of success on the specific project needs. By focusing on the partnership’s strengths, we provide our clients with the integrity, knowledge base, and peace of mind they need from their experts across their respective fields, to realize the best outcomes for all involved.

After all our years of experience, we have a pretty good idea of what to look for when it comes to a good commercial construction company. Keep reading to learn what we look for in a good partner when taking on commercial construction projects in Edmonton.

Strong Communications Skills: A good commercial contractor will be an excellent communicator. As a commercial contractor, not only should they be able to effectively communicate with the client, but they should also be able to communicate with all contributing trades and contractors. The contractor is the captain of the ship, and they must be able to articulate the logistical details of a project to everyone.

Organized: Projects big and small have countless moving parts and require specialized personnel for different elements of projects. An organized contractor will not only give the client peace of mind but will save money by not wasting time or resources because of personnel or logistical confusion.

Testimonials: Always do your research before hiring a commercial contractor. If the contractor has no testimonials or refuses to provide examples of previous clients, partners, or projects, this is probably a red flag. Make sure you know who you are signing on with; commercial projects take time and close relationships to complete.

Certified or Licensed: Commercial contractors are required to hold a variety of different licenses and certifications. When you are considering working with a commercial contractor or commercial construction company, it is not unreasonable to request proof of these certifications.

At Arpi’s North, we would never ask anything of a commercial contractor that we, ourselves, would not provide. We pride ourselves on being strong communicators that are organized, and our strong client testimonials and previous work are proof of these qualities. We are certified and licensed to work across Western Canada and are proud to share these qualifications on our website.
