TURN-KEY PERFORMANCE CONTRACTING OVERVIEW

Turn-key Performance Contracting is a method whereby a project’s design and construction are included within one contract and implemented by a single point of contact; whether architect, engineer, or contractor. This approach delivers savings on a number of fronts including lower administration costs, a streamlined design process, improved communication, enhanced quality of work, and a compressed project schedule, allowing the project to move forward faster.

As an energy solutions partner, Willdan excels at enabling each client to strengthen their bottom line in both new construction and facility improvement projects. We collaborate to leverage energy and operational savings that could completely fund proposed upgrades and retrofits.

Willdan’s turn-key performance contracting empowers clients to leverage future energy costs and operating savings to pay for improvements in the safety, sustainability, and efficiency of their facilities. Financial and operational performance is guaranteed by Willdan, eliminating risks typically associated with traditional “low-bid” approaches to construction projects. Our cycle of services designs, builds, operates, and maintains high efficiency buildings.

With Willdan, projects develop within an integrated design and delivery process. Our design team examines and collaborates on modeling analysis with each facility owner to determine the best turn-key solution.

CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATIONWilldan is a California licensed general contractor supported by offices in San Diego, Anaheim, and Oakland to offer optional site access and supervision.

TESTING, BALANCING, AND COMMISSIONINGOur in-house commissioning agents con-centrate on bringing the design concept to full implementation throughout the construction process and commissioning phase. Although we have the capability, we subcontract this process —providing our clients with excellent “checks and balances” for the installed work.

WARRANTY SERVICES AND OWNER TRAININGWilldan is the single point of contact for all warranty services during the war-ranty period. We enlist suppliers and subcontractors as necessary in order to address any deficiency quickly and professionally. We establish a hands-on approach to client training to ensure a clear understanding of the newly imple-mented system(s) and maintenance requirements - an essential function to capture future energy savings.
