We believe in proactive and creative management of each and every project from day one to client satisfaction at the conclusion. The management team of each project is accountable to a supervision matrix that is selected to meet the demands of the job and to work well together.
Each project is assigned a superintendent to manage all the craft installation requirements and building issues, as well as a project manager to oversee all the contract issues, including cost control and communications. Larger jobs are also assigned a detailing and/or design manager.
Project oversight occurs from all top management as well as executive supervision. We believe feet and eyes on the ground at the workplace is the best form of oversight.
We comprehensively manage job costs though weekly labor reports and with budget detailed reporting and analysis. This custom-developed, web-based reporting loop is given to all supervision and project management by e-mail and arrives in Excel format before the paychecks. Our labor tracking system incorporates all change orders and changed conditions which are updated as they are performed. Murray has a dedicated Cost Control Department led by two degreed accountants whose sole function is to track cost variances, budgets, and forecasts to complete. Our materials are managed through Centralized Purchasing to assure submittal compliance, on time delivery, and budget compliance.
We train all our project personnel on Prolog Project Management software. We are also experienced in the use of Expedition, E-Builder, and Constructware, among others, as required by distinct projects and/or clients. Murray Company takes a proactive approach to scheduling our installation activities, including coordinating with the activities of others. Murray Company is experienced with MS Project, Suretrak, and P3 scheduling, and we welcome the opportunity to resource load the activities.
We believe in keeping our long term, best-in-class employees in top communications and connectivity by keeping them wired up. In support of this task, Murray Company employs three fulltime MIS employees supporting technology initiatives, database and report programming with a committed annual capital expenditure budget. Jobsite trailers are connected via high speed DSL, Microwave, cable, and satellite technologies with VPN and MPLS tunnels offering secure and reliable traffic of data. Our entire focus in managing projects is to work closely with the General Contractor – Owner team to deliver above expectations.
We integrate safety into every aspect of the project, insuring Safety 24/7.
