Our Services

High-performance construction services based on environmentally conscious principles

We are committed to integrating best management practices and environmental expertise in our projects to provide safe and environmentally compliant operations. Our team is dedicated to promoting value-driven environmental compliance processes that emphasize design excellence, owner satisfaction, and reduced maintenance costs.

Yates Construction’s robust Environmental Management System was created using the ISO 14001:2004 environmental management standards.

Our team has a proven level of expertise that ensures ultimate compliance with erosion and sediment control plans, wetland impacts, construction waste management, spill prevention plans, and environmental assessment surveys. Having a driven, detail-oriented, and knowledgeable team with the right tools on our side makes all the difference when considering the range of regulations and permitting requirements a project may face. We will work with you to navigate the complexities of these regulations, e.g., air and water quality, hazardous materials handling, waste disposal, and identifying cost-effective, long-term solutions.

We help our clients understand policies, protect environmental resources, and maintain the project’s schedule.

Yates Construction's in-house environmental department is staffed with seasoned industry experts who understand the processes and dynamics of construction sites and the technical requirements behind environmental compliance and associated mitigation. Additionally, responsible construction practices start with our people. That is why we ensure all personnel, from site labor to senior management, undergo comprehensive environmental orientation training. This training covers all aspects of environmental compliance that may be present onsite. We also provide additional site-specific training as needed.

Committed to the holistic integration of sustainable practices

Yates Construction specifically focuses on creating practical and innovative solutions that combine outstanding people, cutting-edge technology, and a collaborative ideology to yield the most value to our clients. 

Our approach to Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) combines technical expertise with internal subject-matter experts (SMEs) to provide our clients with a complete package of relevant technology tools and practical building know-how. We can increase collaboration and communication between disciplines by using 3D models to coordinate project information. 

This process makes it easier to understand the design, schedule, cost, and construction of the project, opening the door to a faster construction process.

Rather than approaching technology as a one-size-fits-all solution, we leverage technology strategically to deliver better project results through cost savings, schedule certainty, and reduced risk. Since every project is unique, we craft a technology implementation strategy that responds to individual stakeholder needs and inherent project challenges.

Lean Construction methodologies are at the forefront of our operations 

Lean construction is not just a buzzword to us. It is a transformative approach to project delivery. We are constantly evolving and mastering Lean construction principles, ensuring that every project we undertake sets new standards of excellence. By incorporating deliberate, systematic steps in a well-organized sequence, Lean techniques accelerate construction, leading to the fewest interruptions and quality delivery. Consistent and reliable workflows also lead to the fewest interruptions, resulting in quality delivery while maintaining and enhancing the schedule. 

Successful projects are built on strong relationships, collaboration, and seamless communication. From the initial planning stages to the final handover, we foster an environment of open dialogue and cooperation among all stakeholders. 

This isn't just a collaborative approach, but a partnership that enhances efficiency, facilitates innovation, and drives problem-solving.

Through Lean tools and methodologies, we leverage our team members' experience and past lessons learned to improve the construction process with minimum cost and maximum value and in the quickest time possible without diminishing the quality of our craftsmanship.

Our utilization of cutting-edge technology and advanced project management software allows us to streamline processes, optimize workflows, and ensure real-time visibility into project performance. By harnessing the power of data and analytics, we make informed decisions that drive productivity and mitigate risks.

Most importantly, Lean construction is about continuous improvement. We are relentless in our pursuit of excellence, constantly evaluating our processes, identifying areas for enhancement, and implementing best practices. Whether through value engineering, off-site construction, lean scheduling, or Lean supply chain management, we focus on maximizing value for our clients while minimizing waste and inefficiencies.
