The WCP Process provides a guideline for success on any building renewal project. Our in-depth process is more than a series of steps; it is a commitment to service excellence, professional business practices, and long-lasting projects.
When it comes to building renewal, experience matters, our restoration and painting projects encompass multi-unit residential complexes, high-rise towers, apartment buildings, shopping centers, offices, facilities, and warehouses. Over 20 years and 4000 successful projects we’ve honed the project management process.
We follow the WCP Process, a unique strategy that ensures your project’s success on every project. The following points explain the intricacies of each step:
1. Quote Request
+ Scope
The project scope is an initial guideline for WCP. It helps us to understand the client’s needs and gives WCP a roadmap for the project. Initially, WCP needs to understand if the client is looking for exterior and interior building renewal work. More specifically we need to understand if the project is commercial painting, restoration, or specialty coatings.
+ Decision Makers
We can streamline communication and guarantee that key stakeholders are heard by identifying the key decision makers which may or may not include Project Managers, Strata Managers, General Managers, Production Managers, Building envelope engineers, and of course, Building Owners and Strata Members.
+ Timeframe
Time is of the essence. Setting a deadline for initial time frames for your project allows us to better understand your needs and objectives, setting up a smooth transition from concept to completion.
| Project Description | Timeline |
| Small Scale Project | 1 – 2 months |
| Medium Scale Project | 3 – 12 months |
| Large Scale Project | 1 – 2 Years |
+ Budget
For most projects, an initial discussion of the budget is required. An open discussion on budget allows WCP to set clear expectations and measure whether or not your specific requirements for the project can be met within your budget.
2. Consultation
+ Your needs identified and solutions discussed:
Clarity is key to a successful project. We hold in-depth in-person or virtual discussions to better understand your needs and provide tailored solutions for your building.
+ Scope confirmed and next step:
We confirm your scope of work to build a solid understanding of your project’s requirements.
3. Estimate
+ Building take-off
Precision begins with an evaluation. Our thorough building take-off process includes a building inspection which sets guidelines for precise pricing.
+ Material and labor sourcing
Using high-quality materials and skilled labor assures that your project will last. WCP sources the materials and provides the labor and project management for commercial building services like commercial painting, concrete crack repair, concrete crack repair, siding repair, concrete restoration, deck repairs, caulking and sealing, balcony restoration, and strata painting.
+ Pricing
Our pricing phase contains a full breakdown of the line items you require, allowing you to make informed budget-conscious judgments.
4. Proposal
+ Design
We take the time to design a proposal specific to your needs taking into consideration scope, prep work and restoration required, material selections, access, logistics, time frame, and many other items.
+ Pitch
An in-person or virtual takes place between WCP and the client to ensure that both parties are on the same page and your questions are answered.
+ Clarifying questions
It is important to address concerns to ensure that the commercial building renewal plan is completely consistent with your vision.
5. Pre-production:
+ Project scheduling
Time is saved by planning ahead of time. WCP expert staff ensures that project planning is done beforehand and it ensures that time is allocated for each stage and it keeps the project on track.
+ PM & crew lead intro
Building renewal and restoration projects require trust and good communication from the leader. A direct line of communication with the Project Manager is established for the client and day-to-day liaisons are handled by our experienced crew leads.
+ “The Checklist”
Our rigorous checklist ensures that no detail is forgotten prior to a project’s launch, preserving the project’s integrity.
6. Production
+ Mobilization
The mobilization of resources, equipment, and labor begins the process of turning your plans into reality.
+ Production
The heart of the project. Our skilled team executes the plans professionally, adhering to quality standards and your vision.
+ Field visits
Progress is being tracked. Regular on-site visits enable us to monitor progress and guarantee that we are meeting your objectives.
+ Weekly communications
Communication is essential for peace of mind and to ensure that commercial building contractors and customers agree on vital aspects of a project. A solid communication and logistics architecture guarantees that information flows smoothly throughout the lifecycle of the project.
Clarity persists in planning and execution. Weekly updates and transparent billing keep you informed of project progress and financial details.
7. Job Close
+ Inspections
Thorough inspections ensure that every aspect meets our quality standards.
+ Customer reveal
The customer reveal is an exciting step for all stakeholders. We walk you through the project reviewing details and our process. Any items requiring follow-up are taken care of in a timely fashion.
+ Demobilization
The demobilization process ensures a smooth transition at the end of the project, leaving behind a successful legacy.
+ Completion certificate
The journey concludes with a completion certificate which includes your material specifications and detailed warranty information.
