Reed and Reed,
like all successful enterprises, recognizes that
long-term success depends on a steady sense of
purpose. We know the importance of setting goals,
establishing strategies for achieving them, and
measuring their effects. Without these fundamental
steps, operational and strategic improvements
become a matter of happenstance rather than purpose.
Accordingly, all Reed & Reed companies share
a commitment to three basic principles:
The benefits of achieving these goals accrue
to clients, employees, subcontractors, suppliers
and company management alike.

Reed and Reed
knows that quality is a matter of pride as well
as responsibility. We take great pride in our
work, and quality is a direct measure of our success.
We are also bound by responsibility to our clients
to provide top-quality construction that will
perform and endure for many years to come.
Our focus on quality is broken down into four
areas:
- Workmanship: Quality workmanship depends
on skill and responsibility at the craftsman
and supervisor level, and we believe our people
are the best.
- Materials: Quality materials are an essential
starting point. We are constantly evaluating
materials to see if new or substitute materials
can provide a superior end product.
- Design: Although design is usually performed
by a third party, we constantly look for ways
to improve a design - resulting in a better
product, at lower cost, delivered early.
- Process: The construction process involves
coordination and cooperation between all parties
involved. We seek active engagement of the owner,
designer, subcontractors and other stakeholders
from beginning to end of a project, assuring
that we achieve the highest possible quality.

Reed & Reed
measures performance in terms of two fundamental
criteria: cost and schedule.
- Cost: We plan and expect to meet or
beat our budgets on every single project. Reed
& Reed bids, budgets, and controls costs
with proven practices: rigorous planning, selection
of the best means and methods, allocation of
necessary resources, monitoring of progress,
and a constant eye out for improvement.
Whether projects are priced on a fixed basis,
time and materials, guaranteed maximum price,
or some other innovative pricing structure,
our record in terms of cost performance is superior.
We know that cost matters greatly to our clients
– and to us.
- Schedule: Schedule performance is crucial
to every project we undertake. The sooner a
project is on-line, the sooner benefits begin
to accrue to the end user. We begin with detailed
critical path-method scheduling, and build our
project execution plan around it.
Advance materials purchases, internal resource
allocations, identification and mitigation of
external risk factors that can impact schedule,
anticipation of conflicts and coordination issues,
and innovative approaches to problem solving:
all of these create opportunities for improving
schedule performance. We routinely focus on
these areas as a means to that end.
As
a result, early completion is the rule, not
the exception at Reed & Reed.
