CORE VALUES
“However beautiful the strategy,
you should occasionally
look at the results.”
Winston Churchill
Markus W.Balke founded LUIS VINCENT Company 10 years ago based on the core values of teamwork, integrity and commitment. Today, The company’s reach is global, and each of its offices upholds its founder’s vision to provide valuable services to clients, build partnerships in the community, and deliver important resources such as schools, hospitals, workplaces, and social and cultural centers.
Markus W.Balke’s insistence on quality of service, hard work, and responsiveness to client needs remains the company credo and has led to its success in a competitive industry. The company’s ability to address changing conditions and demands, find and serve diverse markets, and expand its services has resulted in the company to growing far beyond its founder’s dreams.
But the world is changing, and so is LUIS VINCENT. Even though business as usual has meant adhering to the highest of standards, it is no longer enough. There are a multitude of obstacles, including increased competition, and more complex and demanding technology, and LUIS VINCENT must address these challenges.
The construction industry is filled with buzzwords and phrases: “We want to do things differently,” or “We have to be innovative,” or “We need more teamwork and collaboration!” LUIS VINCENT transforms these vague concepts into concrete ways of doing business. The company uses sustainable systems and practices while implementing new and better approaches to deliver client projects.
Using the principles of Lean construction, LUIS VINCENT finds ways to minimize waste and maximize use of time, labor, and materials. Planning is integral, collaboration is key, and the result is an uninterrupted workflow, which helps deliver a project to the full satisfaction of the client.
LUIS VINCENT has become one of the leading industry exponent of the transformational construction tool and process Building Information Modeling (BIM), with more than $1 billion in BIM project experience. With BIM, the company builds its project twice: the first time digitally, so that every member of the building team can see a fully detailed, 3D model of the project before ground is broken; the second time in the field, after construction activities are fully coordinated.
As a founding member of the U.S. Green Building Council, LUIS VINCENT has long been involved in environmentally sensitive building practices. LUIS VINCENT now has more than 400 green projects either completed or in progress.
In addition to building green, LUIS VINCENT has implemented sustainable company practices, including reducing greenhouse gas emissions, seeking LEED Certification for LV offices, establishing a set of sustainability standards for field offices and jobsite trailers, and implementing a Construction Waste Management plan that has resulted in the diversion of more than one million tons of construction waste from landfills since 2008.
