Our craftspeople are among the most talented and experienced in the industry. Their pride and passion for excellence extends to every detail of their work, whether they are building a crate, running a CNC press, or putting together a unitized curtain wall assembly. We have cultivated a supportive and proactive company culture where team members are encouraged to think innovatively to test and fabricate creative solutions for every project.

We self-perform nearly all of our work, at our MN headquarters which features over 125,000 square feet of fabrication and assembly space spread across three facilities. We routinely invest in the latest equipment, tools, and technology such as our fully-automated fiber optic laser and our 5-axis CNC machine, to stay at the forefront of the construction industry.

Our digitally-defined fabrication process starts in the preconstruction phase where building components are configured virtually so we can fabricate directly from a 3D model. This enables us to successfully work through design elements and fabricate solutions with the goal of simplifying field installation and resolving unforeseen challenges prior to arriving on site.

Over the course of the project we prepare and monitor our own internal pre-punch list prior to the final punch lists with the architect, owner, and general contractor. We then conduct a closeout site walk review with the customer to ensure 100% of the agreed-upon scope is completed and their expectations for quality fit and finish are met.

Ensuring the project is ready to be turned over to the owner, we gather and provide specification closeout documentation such as warranty requirements, as-built documents, and testing results.

Finally, we conduct an internal lessons learned analysis covering the lifecycle of the project from initial estimate to project completion. This allows us to understand and share what went well, and what we can learn from to grow as a company.

There are two primary components when considering quality; quality control and quality assurance. To some, quality is a subjective attribute, but at MG McGrath the way we define it is simple; it’s a measure of excellence achieved by consistency and being free from defects, deficiencies, and notable variations.

Quality Control

We have a dedicated full-time quality team, but everyone is responsible for quality at every stage which further enforces our Kaizan Model approach of Lean Six Sigma. From the beginning of the project, an internal quality staff member is assigned and creates a project-specific quality plan and manual which is followed to project close-out.

Quality Assurance

We have developed a proprietary project tracking application which allows us to assign and require quality audits at any point throughout the fabrication and installation process, requiring craftspeople to inspect workmanship and adherence to codes and specifications. This keeps all parties on a real-time status of the project whether in the shop, field, or at the office.
