OUR SERVICES
Nelcom Construction Company offers a variety of services to meet your project’s needs, to take you from collaboration meetings all the way to ribbon-cutting and beyond. We believe that every project is unique, and can customize our approach to fit your particular project. While we are at the forefront of and specialize in high rise buildings such as hotels, condo, malls, bridges, we are very familiar with a number of delivery methods and are confident we can find the process that will best help you meet your goals.
CONSTRUCTION
We are a firm believer in partnering and the motivating force partnering can have on a project. Developing trust with a team where each member looks for ways to help the other, promotes the best kind of collaboration and each member benefits. The construction staffing consists of an experienced team integrated into their projects during design and prior to construction commencing. We believe this up front staffing, more than pays for itself with the planning, coordination and thorough understanding of the projects before a single spade of dirt is turned. Subcontractor submittals, shop drawings, RFI’s and coordination questions are prioritized and are scheduled utilizing lean construction techniques and reverse planning scenarios. We require the sub contractors to think out further than they are used to, get their buy in and hold them accountable for sequence, schedule, production and quality and memorialize these commitments with the subcontractor ownership, all before the start of construction. We have weekly project foreman’s meetings and specialty subcontractor coordination meetings (as needed) and include the sub contractors PM’s to confirm the commitment of resources to the project. Realistic schedules are provided at a 6 week look ahead level coordinated by area, item and duration and all tying back to the master project schedule. Innex strongly encourages a relationship based team approach to commitments and believes that face time is the best way to get intended results. Our Superintendents and PM’s are highly skilled in the art of getting the most of a team member and genuinely consider their success. This is achieved by prudent planning, interaction, experience and respect.
Internal Design Management Department
Nelcom Construction Company is somewhat unique with the organization and function of an Internal Design Management Department. This department is comprised of architectural and engineering professionals and is tasked with the management and coordination of the design process. The responsibilities of the department’s professional staff are to provide leadership and oversight to insure an on-time delivery of all design submittals, and confirm that all code and quality standards are met. Design quality control, discipline cross-checks, and value engineering are also an integral part of their project role.

Building information modeling
Nelcom Construction Company’s internal BIM Leadership Team directs and manages our BIM Working Team. The BIM Leadership Team is comprised of key members from both Innex, the owner’s representatives, architectural/engineering firms, and subcontractors. Our BIM department works with these firms to ensure the project BIM requirements are understood and delivered by all parties. Bringing experience, integrity, and extensive knowledge of BIM & IPD principles, we work together for optimal results. The goals of BIM are to facilitate a collaborative project environment between all team members from project inception to completion and to execute coordinated project documents using the 3D modeling and parametric features of BIM. Using BIM will improve system coordination and the execution of design intent in the field to streamline construction processes. Below are some of the major goals and objectives for our use of BIM.
Preconstruction
During the Preconstruction Phase, the objective of the Innex project team is to actively manage the budget development process, provide the Owner and its consultants with timely input on cost and method alternatives, and monitor the availability of materials and compatibility of costs. This process involves continuous monitoring and interaction. Innex also takes an active role in monitoring, revising and updating the schedule for the preparation of contract documents by the design team. To accomplish this, a system of status reporting customized to reflect the mutual needs for current information is utilized to provide project cost and schedule accountability.
