Background:
Independent General Contracting (IGC) stands as a beacon of progress, dedicated to building a brighter future for Long Island. With a commitment to the community, IGC specializes in full-service site contracting, covering everything from excavation and drainage to roadways. Their projects exemplify innovative construction and show their dedication to Long Island's infrastructure.
IGC takes pride in its comprehensive approach, offering services ranging from demolition and excavation to ADA-compliant curbs and sidewalks, drainage and sewer construction, water mains, pump stations, and storm retention ponds.
Challenge:
IGC faced a formidable challenge: supply 65 door, frame, and hardware openings within a demanding 4-week fast-track timeline, whereas the materials specified by the architect required 10-12 weeks. The urgency of the project necessitated a collaborative and agile solution.
Solution:
QualityDoor.com collaborated closely with the architect and contractor, making alternates regarding mechanical and electrified hardware requirements. The team at QualityDoor.com scaled production to deliver all doors and frames within a condensed 4-week timeframe. Using our in-house shop, doors were crafted from Ceco, primed 18ga, with frames in 16ga, featuring various jamb widths, all meticulously primed.
The proactive approach involved preparing hardware and providing detailed shop drawings. This collaboration allowed for the timely production of custom openings, overcoming the material's standard lead time and meeting the accelerated project schedule.
Results:
QualityDoor.com exceeded expectations by delivering the project in an impressive 3.5 weeks, well ahead of schedule. The materials were not only correct but also installed before the deadline. Leveraging its in-house shop and extensive inventory, QualityDoor.com efficiently prepped all hardware in-house, ensuring accuracy and reliability. Each material was meticulously marked for its designated opening and triple-checked for precision.
