In today’s complex construction landscape where specialized subcontractors are brought on to install various elements of a building structure, general contractors and building owners often find themselves overseeing multiple scopes, schedules, and budgets. 

Traditional projects engage multiple onsite contractors, each operating under distinct contracts. Because of this siloed approach, challenges leading to fragmented accountability and delays often arise. Differing work standards and increased defect risks are prevalent when subcontractors focus solely on their individual tasks, rather than their work’s integration on the larger project.

While it is uncommon for specialty subcontractors to manage multiple scopes, doing so can provide a huge advantage to general contractors and building owners. Engaging a single specialty subcontractor for the entire building envelope ensures streamlined communication, fostering efficient workflows and project cohesion. Moreover, unified oversight enhances schedule management, sequencing, and quality assurance.

Awarding the entire building envelope to one subcontractor consolidates responsibility, eliminating inter-subcontractor disputes, and ensuring comprehensive quality oversight. It provides general contractors and building owners with peace of mind knowing that a single accountable entity oversees the integrity of the entire exterior envelope, thus guaranteeing that they will stand by their work.

Several general contractors and business owners have found success with this one-subcontractor approach received when working with EDA Contractors. The EDA Envelope Warranty strengthens this approach by providing a 10-year watertight guarantee for projects with multiple scopes. By centralizing exterior envelope scopes under one specialty subcontractor, EDA simplifies project management, enhances communication efficiency, and safeguards quality standards, ensuring successful project delivery across Philadelphia's evolving landscape.
