1. Self-Performing Focus:

One of the major distinctions at IGC is its ability to self-perform critical aspects of the project (demolition, excavation, structural concrete, and more). This gives IGC more control over both the execution and timeline. In contrast, many other firms often rely heavily on subcontractors for these services, which can introduce delays, communication challenges, and lack of direct oversight.

IGC Advantage: Self-performing allows for greater flexibility in making real-time decisions, ensures higher quality control, and enables more efficient scheduling because all teams are aligned under the same umbrella.

2. Integrated Decision-Making:

At IGC, strategic planning isn’t siloed between departments or stakeholders. The leadership team—comprising the four partners with diverse backgrounds—works closely together at every stage of the project, from pre-construction to post-completion. Each partner brings their expertise in specific areas (e.g., project management, construction techniques, sitework, etc.), ensuring that all decisions are made with the complete picture in mind.

IGC Advantage: Faster decision-making without having to wait for approvals from external partners. The company’s collaborative approach ensures that strategies are optimized across all areas of the project, making adjustments on the fly when needed.

3. Proactive Problem-Solving:

IGC’s leadership team is known for anticipating problems and proactively addressing potential roadblocks before they become issues. The team’s broad range of expertise allows them to take a hands-on, direct approach to any challenges that arise during the project, often finding creative solutions that keep things moving forward.

IGC Advantage: Their hands-on involvement means that they can solve issues immediately, without waiting for external consultations or feedback, leading to quicker resolutions and fewer delays.

4. Tighter Control Over Budget and Timeline:

Since IGC’s teams are directly responsible for performing key tasks, they have the ability to control the project’s schedule and budget much more closely. Without relying on external subcontractors for important phases, there’s less risk of price inflation or scheduling conflicts. IGC’s teams can make real-time adjustments to ensure that the project stays within scope and within budget.

IGC Advantage: More accurate budget management and timely completion, with fewer changes to cost or schedule due to external dependencies or subcontractor delays.

5. Commitment to Safety and Quality: 

IGC’s strategic planning process is deeply rooted in a commitment to safety and quality assurance. The leadership team ensures that every step, from site preparation to execution, adheres to stringent safety standards, and that quality control is implemented at every stage of the project.

IGC Advantage: While other firms may have safety and quality plans, IGC integrates these values into every phase of decision-making, ensuring that there are fewer disruptions, accidents, or costly corrections.

6. Client-Centric Approach:

IGC places a strong emphasis on understanding the client’s vision and needs, ensuring that strategic decisions align closely with the client’s goals. Rather than merely executing a plan, the IGC team is proactive in working with clients, offering suggestions, and adapting the approach as needed to ensure the project is delivered beyond expectations.

IGC Advantage: This client-first mindset makes the project more responsive to changes and more flexible in accommodating evolving needs, which can be particularly beneficial for large-scale projects that may face scope adjustments.

7. Innovative Use of Technology and Equipment:

IGC is always on the lookout for new technologies and techniques that can improve project execution. Whether it’s through advanced equipment for demolition and excavation or project management software for better tracking and communication, IGC integrates innovative tools into its strategic planning to optimize workflow.

IGC Advantage: The use of cutting-edge technology allows IGC to improve efficiency, reduce downtime, and make smarter decisions on-site, which is crucial for the success of large-scale projects.

8. Long-Term Vision:

IGC approaches large-scale projects with a long-term perspective, recognizing that every decision made now affects the future success of the project and client satisfaction. They plan with a focus on not just completing the project, but ensuring that the completed work is durable, functional, and meets the client’s vision.

IGC Advantage: A focus on sustainability and long-term value, with every strategic decision aimed at making sure the project continues to perform well over time and meets the client’s long-term goals.
