Productivity Tools

The risks associated with construction are increasing each year as the work available within the construction marketplace is shifting. The services requested by high-tech and environmentally conscientious customers for current and future markets are shifting the entire construction landscape.

At Holmes Electric Company, we are committed to mastering the industry’s emerging productivity tools.  These tools will help differentiate our organization and make us the area’s preferred electrical subcontractor.  

Job Productivity Assurance & Control (JPAC™)

• JPAC™ forecasts current productivity with cost code level tracking software.  Traditionally, contractors use job cost accounting reports that only show where the job has been, not where it is going
• JPAC™ teams up our Project Mangers and General Foremen to jointly manage job productivity to ensure the lowest installed cost
• JPAC™ tracks productivity improvements that are ultimately taken in to consideration when estimating new opportunities

Short Interval Scheduling (SIS™)

• Holmes’ Foremen and Project Managers plan their work with 3-day and 3-week “look-aheads”
• SIS™ allows logging of the causes of interference to work flow and productivity
• SIS™ encourages team work and promotes increased overall productivity

Building Information Modeling (BIM)

• Precise, accurate, and 3-dimensional drawings ensure quality prefabrication and thorough installation
• Understand and resolve trade conflicts prior to installation to avoid rework
• Provide a valuable deliverable to the end user for the operation and management of their facility

Prefabrication:
Our new 15k sq ft production and staging facility allows our team to

• Develop, build, and inventory commonly used electrical and communications sub-assemblies
• Incorporate standard sub-assemblies into design drawings
• Utilize prefab successes within the estimating/bid process to save time and money
