Construction expertise beyond just building.

One of VanMar’s greatest strengths is the combined knowledge of our team. We are far more than just builders. Our expertise includes development management, design, design-build, as well as estimating and construction expertise. VanMar also utilizes powerful cloud-based project management software, which allows our team to capitalize on productivity and streamline our business processes in order to provide our clients with the best possible results.

VanMar has completed well over 6000 housing units and numerous commercial construction, institutional construction and healthcare construction projects. We have the experience to provide owners and design teams with leadership and knowledge, enabling them to deliver their desired project within their budget and time constraints.

Integrated Project Accounting

VanMar uses an integrated project accounting software to track all cost activities. Because we track all projects based on cost totals by job, year, month and week, we can identify such things as cost overruns and production issues before they become serious problems.

Construction Scheduling

VanMar uses the Critical Path Method (CMP) for scheduling. Once the construction masterschedule is prepared from the project estimate, it is tracked by the Project Manager weekly to monitor the status of the work in the field and to identify any potential delays or re-sequencing of tasks required to maintain the integrity of the original schedule.

Quality Management

We maintain a philosophy that rigorous quality control during each phase of construction ensures professional workmanship and a final product of the highest quality. Although this means additional supervision during construction, we believe it saves money in the long term by preventing deficient and poor quality work that eventually leads to costly repairs or ongoing warranty issues.

Commitment to Safety

VanMar Constructors is committed to health and safety at our workplaces. It is Management’s objective to maintain our workers right to a safe and healthy work environment. We expect everyone in our Company to cooperate and abide by this policy.
