SERVICES

Pre-Construction

Pre-construction services are a vital phase of the construction process that lays the foundation for a successful project. These services include, but are not limited to:

Careful site selection and analysis to ensure that the project is located in the most suitable and strategic location.
The management and coordination of design development to ensure that the project meets the client's needs and expectations.
Accurate budgeting and cost estimating to ensure that the project is financially feasible and to minimize unexpected costs.
The creation and management of a detailed schedule to ensure that the project is completed on time.
Obtaining all necessary permits and approvals to ensure that the project is in compliance with local laws and regulations.

The ultimate goal of pre-construction services is to ensure that the project is well-planned and feasible, and that any potential issues or challenges are identified and addressed before construction begins. By taking the time to properly plan and prepare, we can minimize delays and unexpected costs during the construction phase, resulting in a more efficient and cost-effective project.

Construction

Construction is the process of bringing a project to fruition, and it requires a great deal of coordination and management. The key responsibilities of construction management include:

Overseeing the project from start to finish, ensuring that it is completed on schedule and within budget, all while maintaining the required quality standards.
Collaborating closely with the owner, design team, and contractors to ensure a seamless execution of the project.
Reviewing and approving invoices and change orders from contractors, to ensure that financial transactions are accurate and fair.
Managing the procurement of owner-supplied materials and ensuring that they are delivered and stored in a timely and efficient manner.
Resolving any issues or disputes that may arise during the course of construction.
Maintaining clear and consistent communication with all project stakeholders to ensure alignment and cooperation
Ensuring that all construction activities are in compliance with plans, specifications, and local building codes
Identifying and addressing any potential delays in order to keep the project on schedule.

Construction management is a vital process that ensures the successful completion of a construction project. By coordinating the efforts of all stakeholders and taking a proactive approach to problem-solving, we can ensure that the project is completed on time, within budget, and to the highest standards of quality.

Closeout & Turnover

Closeout process is a thorough and methodical approach to finalizing a construction project. It encompasses a wide range of tasks and activities, all geared towards ensuring that the building is ready for occupancy and that all punch list items have been addressed. The services include, but not limited to:

Obtaining final inspections, tracking progress to ensure completion, and obtaining a certificate of occupancy.
The closeout of all financial aspects of the project are in order
Manage the transfer from the construction team to the owner or owner's representative. This transfer includes providing all relevant documentation, such as as-built drawings and operation and maintenance manuals, as well as conducting a final walk-through with the owner to ensure their satisfaction with the completed work.

Closeout and turnover is just as much of a crucial phase as the pre-con and construction phases. It encompasses all the required aspects to allow the owner to take over the project with comfort.

Maintenance & Facility Management

Maintenance and facility management refers to the ongoing upkeep and management of a building or facility.

Maintenance includes regular inspections and repairs to keep the building in good condition and prevent potential problems from arising. This can include tasks such as cleaning and maintaining HVAC systems, performing electrical and plumbing repairs, and maintaining the exterior of the building.
Facility management, on the other hand, is the overall management of a building or facility. This includes managing the maintenance and upkeep of the building, as well as managing other aspects such as security, janitorial services, and energy management. Facility managers also handle logistics and administration responsibilities such as budgeting, record-keeping, and compliance with local building codes and regulations. They also handle the coordination of any renovation and construction projects that take place in the facility.

Facility management is an important aspect in ensuring the smooth operation of a building or facility and maximizing its lifespan.

Value Engineer & Cost Management

Value engineering is a structured method of evaluating the function and cost of a product, process or system to determine ways to enhance its value. The goal of value engineering is to improve the function of a product or service while reducing costs. This is accomplished by thoroughly analyzing all aspects of a project, including materials, labor, and design, and making adjustments that will improve the overall value of the project without increasing costs.

Value engineering is not only about cost reduction, but also about increasing the performance and quality of the project. It is about finding the perfect equilibrium between cost, function, and quality. This can be achieved through innovation, redesign, and the use of new materials, technologies, or processes.
Cost management, in contrast, is the process of planning, organizing, and controlling the budget of a project. This includes creating and maintaining a cost estimate, monitoring actual costs, and identifying and managing variances. Cost management also includes identifying and evaluating cost-related risks, and developing strategies to mitigate those risks. Effective cost management is crucial for a project to be completed on schedule, within budget, and to the client's satisfaction.

Value engineering and cost management are closely related, and often used in conjunction to optimize the value and cost-effectiveness of a project. Value engineering provides the means to identify opportunities for cost savings, while cost management ensures that those savings are realized, and the project stays within budget.
