Relationship-Driven Construction Administration

Setting up the right team starts with understanding exactly what you need. We start by having a real conversation with you about the specifics of the project, particularly its challenges and your goals, and vision. We’ll also work with you to identify your non-negotiables. What are your key priorities in terms of budget, schedule, and quality? This allows us to keep these priorities in focus at every stage of the project.

Working with Your International Company

When your international company is undertaking a construction project in Houston, leveraging a local construction partner like GRA-Gulf Coast Construction has significant advantages. Not only do we have in-depth knowledge of local regulations, permitting processes, building codes, and labor market, but we have extensive experience working with teams from different cultural and linguistic backgrounds to successfully complete local construction projects.

One of the most crucial aspects of working together is addressing potential language barriers. Clear and accurate communication is essential for all stakeholders to understand project requirements and expectations clearly. Our team will arrange professional translation services for whatever is needed, from translating project documents to facilitating on-site meetings. This helps minimize misunderstandings and potential errors.

Beyond language, cultural differences also play a role in project team dynamics. Understanding and respecting these differences creates the collaborative and productive working relationship we strive to achieve with all of our clients.

Keeping Your Project Compliant

To ensure a newly constructed commercial or industrial building in Houston is fully compliant, several requirements must be met. Our project team stays ahead of these requirements throughout each phase of the building process. These may include:

• Applicable building permits or road/infrastructure permits in place
• COMcheck reports and reviews by the appropriate Planning and Development Department
• Meets elevation requirements and drainage or flood mitigation measures for floodplain regulations
• Aligns with zoning ordinances
• Compliant with OSHA regulations on worksite
• Adheres to Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) regulations for air quality, water quality, and waste management during construction
• Checks International Building Code (IBC) standards for structural integrity, fire safety, and accessibility
• Compliant with the relevant Fire Code for fire suppression systems, alarms, and emergency exits
• Meets EPA regulations for handling, storage, and disposal of any hazardous materials
• Certificates of Occupancy obtained
