Mechanical Construction
Big J understands that the requirements of the manufacturing environment are very different from traditional commercial construction. With extensive experience in the most rigorous environment in the world, semiconductor fabrication, we have deep experience with manufacturing issues such as:
- Maintaining existing production
- Operating safety hazards
- "Hot" toxic systems of gases & chemicals
- "Live" electrical and control systems
- Extreme shutdown schedules
- Minimal storage and staging areas
- Coordination with ongoing maintenance
Mechanical Expertise for Manufacturing
Our decades of work in semiconductor manufacturing have given us the expertise to understand the pressures and problems unique to the construction and modification of manufacturing facilities. Unlike contractors who lowball the bid to get the work and then make their money on change orders and building to plan even when they know the plan is wrong, Big J believes in a different philosophy. We know that the real cost of construction is the factor of time. If your plant is delayed six weeks or six months, the lost revenue or cost savings that plant represents to you is worth many times more than the difference in bids from the cheapest to the best value. For more than twenty years, Big J has successfully met schedules in one of the most demanding manufacturing environment in the world, semiconductors. We know how to get it done right and right on time.
Because we specialize in manufacturing construction and support, when you need something, our crew can schedule your operations and designate your priorities. We partner with our clients to learn their business inside and out so that we become a part of their teams. While your existing maintenance people focus on the predictive, preventative and reactive maintenance of your specialized equipment, Big J tradespeople can help you plan for expansion, moving and modifying machinery that will support your growth.
