Construction Management

The same team approach used in the initial stages of the project is used when procuring the construction component of the project team. Knowing and understanding the construction contractor’s role helps us plan a construction program that will be timely and cost effective for the contractor and therefore the end user of the facility. Secondly, treating the construction components with the same respect and team approach we use for all other team members allows us to access the strengths of the construction entity and use them in the most positive manner. Formulating a cohesive team that confronts the objectives and overcomes problems is the key to success during construction.

The construction process is perhaps the most risk laden phase of a project.

Risk identification and mitigation begins in the Design Process Management and Construction Planning phase by working closely with the design professionals to develop quality contract documents and a complete bid package that identify the contract requirements to the contractors. Procuring only the strongest contractors who are performance oriented and problem solvers, further assures that they will carefully orchestrate and properly execute the process. Services associated with this phase include:
