Our Approach
Murphy Contracting is poised to deliver excellence with an approach that is founded in our solid construction knowledge and expertise. We build on that strong foundation by providing extraordinary customer service for large and small jobs alike. Leadership, integrity and respect for others are our cornerstones. Each of our jobs has three distinct phases: Pre Construction, Construction, and Post Construction.
Design / Build
When choosing the traditional design – bid – build process every phase of the project is divided between different companies, different people. This takes more time, costs more money, and can create opportunities for miscommunications.
Choosing design/build construction with Murphy Contracting enables the client and the contractor to be on the very same page from beginning to end. From our first consultation with you, our team begins to take your vision and concept and collaborate with all parties needed to bring your vision to life.
We provide conceptual and working drawings along with an initial budget estimate to reduce the cost of paying for complete architectural drawings that are usually required for major projects. We provide feasibility studies, the customized features unique to every project and every required permit up through issuing of the Certificate of Occupancy.
Pre Construction
The goal of pre construction is to clearly understand the goals and objectives of the client. Is the scope of work clear? What is the expectation regarding time of delivery? Are there opportunities for value engineering? What can Murphy Contracting do to save the client time and money? What issues and elements do we need to consider to make the job run smoother and more efficiently? These are just a few of the discovery questions we ask to ensure a successful project.
Construction
Good construction starts with good planning. Taking what we learned in our pre construction meetings and implementing a plan based on a well defined scope of work and construction drawings. We put the right team on the field: Project Manager, Superintendent, and subcontractors specifically chosen for the job. Communicating the expectations established by the client to field professionals. We place special emphasis on communicating with the client monthly with onsite meetings and weekly meetings with the construction team.
Simply said, communication, teamwork, and execution are the key to a successful project. We plan the work and work the plan. Execution is the key.
Post Constuction
Our goal is to finish as strong as we start. We review the details and check for the correct fit and finish. Have we accomplished the goals and objectives established by the client? Are we on time and on budget? We package the warranty information and documentation for the client’s records. Finally, we return the stamped and approved construction drawings for your records.
Safety
Safety is a part of Murphy Contracting. It is a part of who we are, a part of our identity. Construction is hard and if safety standards are not met in real time, it can be very dangerous. That is why Murphy Contracting has a proactive approach to ensuring that everyone every day goes home safely.
Projects/ Testimonials
ln my role as Executive Pastor, l have worked with several construction contractors. Lake Murray Baptist has completed four upfit construction renovation projects on our campus over the past five years. Murphy Contracting, lnc. was on time, on budget, and worked hard to meet our church’s needs. The Murphy team developed a clear plan for the project, and when we faced obstacles, they developed and executed solutions that were best for the church. I recommend them as a local construction company dedicated to timely and quality work that transformed our space to meet our ministry needs.
Architects and General Contractors are often at odds over a project because of differences in perceived goals; however, Murphy Contracting is at the top of this architect’s preferred list of builders for three reasons:
- Murphy Contracting values the quality of the final project more than they do their short-term profits; the company thinks ahead, even drawing out and collaborating on solutions to anticipated problems before they occur.
- They communicate well, letting parties know ahead what’s up and why.
- Murphy Contracting can be counted on to deliver more than they promise, and the company has a commitment to the betterment of the community fostered by years of community service in organizations such as Rotary lnternational. They care about the places where they serve. They care about the quality of their work. They care about helping others reach their building goals.
As an Architect, I have worked with Murphy Contracting on many projects over the years. I have been very pleased with their professionalism and expertise which has made for successful building projects. They analyze the needs of the client and will find a solution to satisfy these needs. I would recommend Murphy Contracting to a potential client.
