THE WILSHIRE WAY

Have you ever run into a General Contractor who claims they have “experience with Affordable Housing”, and they might, but it turns out their project teams do not? We do not believe in false advertising. We understand that continuing education and consistent training is a vital part of our team’s success. Some of the programs that our team trains on include:

  • HUD Programs
  • NSPIRE
  • NGBS (National Green Building Standard)
  • Green Enterprise Communities Criteria
  • ADA/ ANSI/ UFAS Requirements
  • QAP Requirements
  • OSHA Standards
  • International Building Code – CNA Analysis

In addition to these programs, we also do Interdepartmental Cross Training and Team Building Retreats.  This ensures that our team has the same understanding across the board in customer service, problem solving, quality control, client relationships and taking extreme ownership of responsibilities.

Our mission is to implement a new standard of what a General Contractor in the Affordable Housing industry should be. We are the team you can trust to build a better future for those in affordable housing!

At Wilshire Pacific Builders, we understand that putting an affordable housing renovation project together requires flexibility, resourcefulness, collaboration, and trust long before the work begins. We are always eager to provide quality resources and knowledge to collaborate with you to meet your long-term goals and avoid the pitfalls of unexpected conditions.

By catching the majority of the unexpected conditions from the start, we can build a scope of work that meets your goal and budget needs. The magic is meeting those goals while still exceeding quality standards and sustainability.

“Quality is never an accident. It is the result of intelligent effort.”

OUR PLAN-DO-CHECK-ACT (PDCA) CYCLE:

Quality management using our PDCA cycle is a continuous improvement approach that ensures consistent and effective outcomes. It involves four key steps:

  • PLAN: Identify project objectives, set quality goals, and develop scopes and budgets that meet those objectives.
  • DO: Implement the plan and carry out the scope. We know it is crucial during this step to communicate to our partners that objectives are being met, and work is getting done on time.
  • CHECK: Continuous monitoring and evaluation are key to maintaining results. Monitoring is done both physically and with the use of technology tools like Company Cam which allows real time remote access to on-site work.
  • ACT: Standardizing the successful process makes it easy to implement on a broader scale which leads to a successful project completion.

THE WILSHIRE WAY

This approach is all about constantly improving how we work, from our processes to our products and services. It helps create a culture where quality matters and everyone takes responsibility. We understand that great results don’t just happen. They come from thoughtful planning, strong supervision, and clear documentation.

At Wilshire Pacific Builders, we’re committed to doing things the right way and delivering work we’re proud to put our name on every single time.

MAXIMIZING QAP SUCCESS:

A Pre-Construction Guide for Affordable Housing

At Wilshire Pacific Builders, we’re passionate about building more than just structures; we’re building homes and communities for those who need them most. Specializing in affordable housing means we’re committed to efficiency, quality, and, most importantly, compliance. And that’s where the critical role of the Qualified Allocation Plan (QAP) comes into play.

For those unfamiliar, each state’s QAP is a comprehensive document that outlines the procedures and standards a contractor will follow to ensure a project meets specific quality requirements. In the realm of affordable housing, where funding often comes with stringent regulations and guidelines, the QAP is not just a suggestion, it’s a necessity.

Our pre-construction team understands the vital importance of meticulously reviewing the QAP before any project closes and construction begins. It’s not just a formality; it’s the bedrock upon which we build successful, compliant, and high-quality affordable housing projects.

Preconstructions Key to Affordable Housing Success reviewing project plans

WHY WE CAREFULLY REVIEW THE QAP

  • Ensures Regulatory Compliance: Government-funded affordable housing projects demand strict adherence to rules. We use the state’s QAP to verify we meet all funding agency requirements, preventing delays and funding issues.
  • Identifies Potential Issues Early: Our team proactively finds discrepancies and ambiguities, addressing them before they cause costly construction problems.
  • Sets Clear Expectations: The QAP defines quality, materials, workmanship, and testing procedures. We ensure all subcontractors and suppliers understand and meet these expectations.
  • Optimizes Efficiency and Reduce Risk: A thorough review of requirements streamlines construction, minimizes rework, and ensures effective quality control, leading to greater efficiency and reduced risk.
  • Upholds Our Reputation: Diligent QAP review demonstrates our commitment to delivering high-standard affordable housing, solidifying our reputation as a trusted contractor.

Our Pre-Construction Team Focuses On:

  • Material Specifications
  • Testing and Inspection Procedures
  • Documentation Requirements
  • Communication Protocols
  • Safety Standards

THE WILSHIRE WAY

Our goal is to deliver compliant, successful affordable housing through thorough QAP review. We know small oversights can become costly, so we focus on protecting your investment from the start. Our team ensures every requirement is addressed before work begins, keeping the project running smooth throughout the entire process.

20 STATES, 4 TIME ZONES, ZERO CHAOS

Managing projects across nationwide across 20 states and 4 time zones might sound like a logistical nightmare, but at Wilshire Pacific Builders we’ve cracked the code! We have transformed potential chaos into a symphony of streamlined efficiency. How? With a blend of cutting-edge technology and a focus on real-time collaboration.

COMPANY CAM: THE POWER OF VISUAL DOCUMENTATION

Imagine trying to understand the progress of a renovation project hundreds of miles away without ever stepping foot on site. Sounds impossible, right? Not with CompanyCam. This powerful tool is our secret weapon for real time quality control and visual documentation.

  • 14,000+ Pictures and Counting: On average, each of our renovation projects generates over 14,000 photos, all stored securely in the cloud. These snapshots meticulously documenting every stage of progress.
  • Quality Control and Accountability: These photos serve as a powerful tool for quality control, ensuring that every detail meets our exacting standards. They also promote accountability, providing a transparent record and checklist of work completed.
  • Real-Time Insights: With live, cloud-based access, all team members can monitor progress anywhere, any time. This eliminates guesswork and allows for immediate intervention if needed.

HOURLY PRECISION & LIVE SCHEDULES

We don’t believe in scheduling projects by the day. We operate on an hourly basis, ensuring maximum efficiency and minimizing downtime. Our live, shared schedules provide constant real-time updates. With the entire team having access to continuously updated schedules, it improves communication, accountability, and trust between on-site and project management teams.

EMPOWERING OUR TEAM

Our on-site team is equipped with handheld devices containing access to every tool they need to provide real-time documentation and up to the minute progress reports. This facilitates seamless communication, enabling project managers and on-site crews to provide timely responses and keep the project on schedule.

  • Instant On-site Updates: Our on-site team has the ability to provide and receive updated information in the palm of their hand. This allows them to be actively involved in monitoring the renovation, able to access whatever they need from anywhere on-site, not just their office. This eliminates waiting for end of day updates, which proves not effective when working across time zones.
  • On-the-Go Management: Our project managers are busy traveling from one project to the next, so we made sure they can access their schedules, progress reports, and updates in real time from any device. This provides them with a quick and easy way to monitor progress and communicate with their team as if they were there.

THE WILSHIRE WAY

At the heart of our success is a commitment to real-time collaboration. We understand that keeping all teams on the same page is essential for efficient project management. We gain access to complete visibility into every project, at every location, every day.

By combining cutting-edge technology with a commitment to real-time collaboration, we’ve created a system that allows us to effectively manage projects nationwide. We’ve transformed a potential logistical nightmare into a well-oiled machine, delivering exceptional results for our clients.

At Wilshire Pacific Builders, we are passionate about more than just project management; we’re committed to using technology and teamwork to solve complex problems and deliver results that exceed expectations.

At our recent company retreat, we had the opportunity for team building and reflection on our core values as a general contractor specializing in affordable housing. These values are more than just words on a page; they are the guiding principles that inform our decisions and actions every day.
