Work on Pennsylvania public school projects mandates the detail and diligence that DEI continuously provides. The requirements in Pennsylvania for multiple prime contractors, navigation of the PlanCon process, municipal approvals and regulatory mandates, local codes and special inspections, PA prevailing wages, construction worker security clearances, PADEP requirements, and COVID-19 all make construction projects challenging. Fortunately, our extensive experience and exceptional staff provide leadership to proactively succeed in managing Pennsylvania’s nuances to deliver projects that meet the goals for quality, schedule, and budget.
