The Value of Multi-Trained Technicians

Updated: Dec 18


GMU Technicians


GMU’s Holistic Approach to Construction

At GMU, we understand that construction success isn’t just about solving problems but anticipating and preventing them. That’s why our commitment to excellence extends beyond the design phase and into the field, where our multi-trained technicians and inspectors bring unique expertise to every project.


The GMU Advantage: Multi-Discipline Expertise

What sets GMU apart in the construction process is the breadth of skills our field technicians bring to the job site. Most of our soil technicians are also Registered Special Inspectors (RSI), trained and certified in multiple specialties, including:

· Reinforced Concrete

· Masonry

· Post-Tensioned Concrete

· Welding

· And more


This multi-discipline training enables our technicians to look at projects as a whole rather than focusing solely on one aspect of the construction process. Many of our field personnel also bring direct construction experience, which adds another layer of practical understanding to their work.


A Holistic Approach to Construction

Having multi-trained technicians on-site means GMU can provide heightened value to the construction process in several critical ways:

  1. Proactive Problem-Solving Our team’s broad skill set allows them to identify potential issues before they become costly problems, saving clients time and money.

  2. Streamlined Inspections Multi-discipline expertise means our technicians can perform multiple inspections in a single site visit, reducing delays and improving efficiency.

  3. Effective Issue Resolution With hands-on construction experience and a big-picture perspective, GMU’s field personnel are adept at quickly diagnosing and solving issues and keeping projects on track.


Real-World Impact

This approach isn’t just theory—it’s a practice that makes a tangible difference on job sites. From verifying that reinforced concrete installations meet code to assessing soil conditions and structural integrity in one trip, our multi-trained technicians help construction progress smoothly and safely.

This holistic, efficient approach is why GMU remains a trusted partner for clients across various industries. We’re not just checking boxes; we’re actively enhancing the construction process, delivering value at every stage.
