Self-Performed Construction
We don't subcontract the work out, we own the companies that do it.
Overview
On a traditional project, the general contractor's real job is administrative: hire subcontractors, initiate contracts, move money between dozens of separate, siloed businesses, never actually performing the work. Concourse restructures that model. Through joint ventures and dedicated entities we form to execute specific trades, concrete performed through our own company, for example, key scopes move in-house instead of out to a chain of subcontractors. One integrated system, not a network of disconnected ones.
That matters because fragmentation is where projects break down. RFIs and change orders pass through layers of subs and consultants before reaching the crew that needs them, and every handoff is a chance for accuracy, and accountability, to get lost.
Why
Built into staffing from day one on every project, not brought in to fix problems later. It matters most on schedule-sensitive, high-coordination jobs, where one missed handoff cascades into weeks of delay.
When
Most firms save BIM for their largest jobs. We run every project through a full model, regardless of size, the payoff is the same at any scale.
How
We consolidate every discipline's input into one coordinated model, so the full picture is visible before anyone breaks ground.
We form joint ventures and dedicated entities to self-perform key trades, concrete among them, instead of subcontracting them out.
A live digital record keeps RFIs, change orders, and schedule updates in sync across every entity.
Field issues get resolved against the model directly, no routing through layers of approval.
