What We Do
Westside’s construction management division specializes in providing innovative building solutions. Our work produces cutting edge real estate projects that maintain value longer than most of their competition. We bring transparency, problem solving, and utility creation to any project we work on. Our backbone as a large real estate owner allows us to deliver the most optimized approach to development that very few competitors can match.
We understand the challenges of major construction projects and their impacts on owners, residents and all other stakeholders involved. Westside’s building experience primarily stems from managing restoration work of existing apartment and residential condominium properties. It also includes significant ground-up development experience. Our expertise in complex ground-up construction, focused on the latest building trends, together with deep track record in cost constrained restoration work on existing assets provides for a unique skillset with unmatched alignments.
We recognize the importance of regular communication with all constituents involved in any project. We proactively tackle any challenges that all deals bring, and we come up with innovative ideas that save costs and create utility. We focus on finding ways to exceed expectations at every angle. Our commitment to intelligent solutions that create value is the core of our business.
How We Win
We focus on upfront due diligence, thorough day-to-day management, and long-term quality and utility. Some of the steps we take on every transaction include:
We believe an “owner-like-mindset”, intelligent innovation, and the ability to run tight construction processes, always on time and on budget, is what truly sets Westside apart from our competition.
Sustainability
At Westside, we recognize our responsibility to minimize environmental impact while advancing innovative, energy-efficient solutions for our communities. We are committed to sustainable building practices that minimize environmental impacts, improve energy efficiency, reduce water demand, promote recycling and enhance indoor air quality.
As a construction management firm, we recognize that efficiency and economic feasibility determine the desire of owners to engage in sustainable practices. We don’t evaluate sustainability in isolation from feasibility. We do the opposite. We enable projects trough improving their economics by financially sensitive yet environmentally mindful building strategies.
We believe that environmentally cautious approach to construction centered around the end-user enhances the long-term value of our projects. We build with the understanding that the applied solutions will have to withstand the test of time. We care about the environment we live in, and we constantly adjust to the evolving landscape around us.
Safety Culture
The safety of our employees, subcontractors, and all residents is our greatest responsibility, so we demand constant vigilance to ensure a safe and healthy workplace. We safeguard our people, projects and reputation by striving for zero employee injuries and illnesses, while operating and delivering our work responsibly and sustainably.
We believe that all accidents and injuries are preventable with proper planning. Our safety plans are comprehensive and prioritized by every member of our team, from the CEO to the safety officer to those in the field. We identify and manage risk through recognition, evaluation, education and action. Job-specific safety plans, devised during the design phase, are constantly adapted to real time conditions, operations and behavioral tracking data. As construction progresses, equipment management and critical lift plans are important components of our safety efforts, illustrative of our company-wide commitment to the wellbeing of our workforce.
Our teams measure and evaluate safety data daily. Constantly improving and identifying risk while creating and enforcing the programs to reduce that risk whether through a best practice, new guideline, or policy. This results in a successful track record of bridging the company’s safety standards, with the reality of on-site project operations further supporting and driving the message to all level of field and project staff.
