GENERAL CONSTRUCTION:
CONSTRUCTION IS A NUMBERS GAME
From tolerances to estimates, you need a team that can handle every aspect of coordination.
MATT Construction knows how to bring your building to life on time and on budget. That pledge is built into every part of what we do.
Every stage in the life of a building, from its earliest designs to its grand unveiling, involves numerous moving parts. How does a top general contractor keep things on track? We engage as early as possible, typically during the conceptual or schematic stage.
COST CONTROLWe help to create reports on constructability and feasibility. Our comprehensive estimates also reflect available lower-price options, and we provide possible cost impacts and savings on a line item breakdown. This frees our designers and clients to focus the budget on what’s critical to them.
We thrive on helping owners take control and make informed decisions early.
SUBCONTRACTOR SELECTIONAssembling the most talented and best-matched management team and subcontractor bid list for each project is another top priority during preconstruction. We draw from a pool of subcontractors that we’ve nurtured over decades. We also continuously require recertification to ensure that our subcontractors’ qualifications are current and superior.
TECHNOLOGYTechnology is reshaping the design field and what can be accomplished on a jobsite. We take full advantage of Building Information Modeling (BIM) to virtually construct interactive images of a project before we begin any in-the-ground efforts. Early 3D and 4D modeling enables us to sequence work appropriately, navigate site logistics, communicate with the design team and subcontractors, check for any potential systems conflicts and model the structural systems for fabrication.
SELF-PERFORMANCEWhere necessary or appropriate, MATT can self-perform several categories of construction, including structural and architectural concrete, framing and general labor. We only advocate for self-performing after a detailed analysis of competitive bids to ensure the best possible price. Some benefits of using our own forces include direct control of quality and flexibility in the face of changing conditions or needs.
DELIVERYOur delivery methods range from construction-manager-at-risk, to lump-sum, to Integrated Project Delivery, to design-build.
We approach each case with a win-win vision for partnership and collaboration to shepherd our projects to fruitful completion
DESIGN BUILD
Additional Information
DESIGN BUILD
Experience, knowledge and creativity support a dynamic collaboration, yielding time and cost savings to the owner
Design-build delivery facilitates an early partnership and dialogue between the design and building teams. At MATT, we believe our experience and knowledge can yield substantial returns in this process.
Whether through suggestions on structural system alternatives, construction details or material procurement, we know how to assess a project’s scope and needs while keeping the vision and budget intact.
From inception to completion, design-build offers a comprehensive opportunity to realize a project tailored with the utmost specificity to the client’s intent. It also enables key subcontractors and engineers to weigh in on conceptual stages. Frequent group meetings guide the design-build process to a fertile exchange of ideas and perspectives.
Unexpected solutions and methods often arise as a result of this ongoing conversation.
Useful insights and rapid feedback promote timely decisions and quick turnaround. The design-build delivery method fuels a dynamic collaboration between the design and build sides of the construction equation, creating a smooth workflow on and off the jobsite and yielding substantial time and cost savings to the owner.
PRE-CONSTRUCTION SVCS
Additional Information
EMPOWERING OWNERS TO MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS.
An unparalleled package of preconstruction services for creative solutions and cost control
Preconstruction paves the way for smooth construction. We use this period to empower owners with options so they can make informed decisions that will keep operations on time and on budget. Our rich project experience, knowledge of emerging building technologies and thought leadership allow owners to realize their vision with the greatest value.We use a host of tools to get the job done. Constructability reviews, explorations of innovative means and methods, leveraging Building Information Modeling software (BIM), physical mock-ups and comprehensive budgeting options all emerge from decades of well-documented experience.But we don’t just stop at one good idea. We play out different sequencing and scheduling scenarios. We identify and resolve any potential design clashes. We research alternative materials and methods to offer a variety of options that match the project’s goals and the owner’s wishes. Our priority is to make the experience of choosing how to move forward into the construction process as streamlined as possible.
ESTIMATING
We stand by our numbers, because we stand by our numbers team.For us, estimating isn’t about plugging data into a spreadsheet based on a rendering. Our estimators draw from our vast historical database and bring decades of engineering and project management experience to the table. They also know how to dissect and analyze structural, building envelope and MEP systems to preserve the client’s vision and keep it well within the project’s scope. Ongoing, dynamic dialogue with the owner and design team leads to an estimate range firmly rooted in a realistic building plan and a sound budget.
Proprietary budgeting tools + historical data that go well beyond on-screen takeoffs
CONSTRUCTABILITY REVIEWS
Innovative ways to maintain scope, schedule and budgetWe explore all possible means and methods of tackling a project through rigorous constructability reviews. We verify components’ compatibility with site access constraints and undertake a thorough analysis of sequence of work, tolerance requirements, material availability and schedule timeframes to offer clients the right choices, freeing them up to spend their money on their priorities and empowering them to choose value elsewhere.
VALUE ENGINEERING
We focus on adding high value without adding high cost. Through a creative investigation of cost-effective methods and materials, we strive to support or enhance critical elements of the design. We provide the owner and architect with cost-saving alternative systems, materials and methods of construction, optimizing the project value in alignment with the owner’s objectives.
Cost-effective methods and materials save money, enhance critical design elements and improve value
We pride ourselves on accurate sequencing and scheduling from the earliest phases through to completion.
SCHEDULING
To keep on track throughout the process, our communication software updates the design and subcontractor teams in real-time with progress on submittals, deliveries and availability of crews for on-site work and installation. Critical path scheduling, 4D BIM technology and regular two-week look-aheads bolster our success in achieving our scheduling goals.Overseeing the day-to-day details of on-site operations and foreseeing potential challenges well in advance minimizes overtime and inefficiencies.
100% on time or sooner
SUBCONTRACTING & BIDDING
MATT enjoys the privilege of drawing from an elite network within the trades. We’ve cultivated many of these partnerships over decades, so we know how to find the best fit for each project. Our challenging designs, efficient job sites and fair treatment attract a wide range of talented professionals.
Attracting, selecting and retaining the best available trades for the job
Before they’re selected, our subcontractors need to make the grade. We perform extensive evaluations, keep detailed reports from previous work and require annual requalification. We also assess their financial strength and safety records.MATT’s comprehensive, concise bid packages go beyond communicating the basic elements of scope, schedule, cost, quality and relationship to other trades. We address every detail of the work and clearly state our expectations.
This process generates reliable bids and reduces or eliminates contingencies, yielding the best value at the lowest cost.
HOW WE WORK
Additional Information
WE ARE COLLABORATIVE
HOW DO WE WORK? TOGETHER.
An absolute commitment to win-win teamwork earned MATT the Building Team of the Year award from the AIA Los Angeles for two consecutive years. In 2010, and again in 2017, the company also received the AIA Los Angeles Presidential Award for “contributions and commitment which have enriched the practice of architecture and the built environment…through partnership with the clients and architects of Los Angeles.” We are proud of these achievements, because they speak not only to how we build, but to our dedication to the collaborative process.
It’s not what you can do yourself; it’s what you can do to help others succeed.
PAUL J. MATT
OUR PROCESS, SIMPLIFIED
An alignment of project goals with the owner and design team
A thorough exploration of means to achieve those goals
Construction leadership to build the project to specification both on time and within budget
Project-specific quality plans to detail critical design elements and unique challenges
QUALITY COMMITMENT
Quality construction begins with quality planning. Every MATT project adheres to a rigorous standard of excellence that owners, developers and architects have come to expect from our work.
Our policy is simple: get it right the first time.
From Day One, we strive to harmonize the owner’s goals, the architect’s vision and the feasibility of construction. We leverage BIM-assisted virtual construction, field tests and verifications, functional mock-ups and third-party design reviews to streamline this conversation and coordinate budgeting, bidding and building.
A quality plan tailored to each project guides critical design elements, details and challenges. Our superintendents ensure that every person in the field is equipped with the necessary tools to succeed, and we hold ourselves accountable for the disciplined execution of every stage.
SAFETY
Our excellent track record recently helped MATT to score an Experience Modification Rate (EMR) premium for base workers’ compensation of 0.54.
A proactive approach to safety
MATT Construction’s approach to safety starts well ahead of each project. Proper hazard analysis is a core part of that strategy and what makes safety protocols so effective on MATT’s jobsites. On any given project, MATT Construction partners “with the project owner to go above and beyond Cal/OSHA requirements and ensure a safe and healthy environment – not only for construction personnel, but for neighbors in the surrounding community,” says Joe Gregorwich, MATT’s Director of Safety. He adds that this attitude is no different from how MATT Construction runs as a whole – it’s about people, partnership and working towards everyone’s best interests.
Striving towards a zero-injury work environment is also part of the company’s proactive philosophy.
Low EMR numbers reflect high safety standards and benefit everyone inlvoved. On a recent $270 million project under an OCIP, MATT’s safety record prompted $7 million in client insurance refunds and garnered a Cal/OSHA Award for Excellence.
Coordinating and anticipating a project’s needs and scope during preconstruction and then regularly throughout all phases of the job means that MATT’s team takes nothing for granted. Working with subcontractors, owners and architects alike, the goal is team success. MATT superintendents are always on the jobsite working alongside subcontractors to adapt protocols as needed and ensure ongoing maximum safety standards. On every project, every week, the team holds site safety meetings to keep all parties up to speed. All MATT Construction employees must attend. Subcontractors are either invited or required to have their own safety meetings.
Anticipating and mitigating hazards and risks has earned the company multiple awards.
MATT Construction is proud to have earned the Golden Gate Award from Cal/OSHA for the Four Seasons Westlake Village Hotel and Spa, The Loop mixed use project, The Broad museum, the Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills and the 8th and Hope residential tower in downtown Los Angeles.
At the Waldorf Astoria jobsite, MATT designated a full-time safety manager to go above and beyond Cal/OSHA’s requirements. Because of our excellent safety standards, the team at the Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills additionally achieved SHARP recognition, an award we also received for The Broad. Cal/OSHA reserves this award for a handful of high-hazard employers who demonstrate exemplary health and safety management at a jobsite through regular compliance and reporting, with a strong commitment to ongoing oversight and planning ahead. The selection process includes a series of visits to the jobsite and a thorough review of safety documentation and record-keeping by Cal/OSHA consultation personnel.
