In our role as the owner's representative and advocate, our project management services encompass all phases of your project from concept through completion. We will insure that your project is completed in the most timely and cost effective manner. These services will be tailored to the unique needs of your project:

Feasibility Analysis - When needed, we will research and prepare a comprehensive report to assist you in determining if your envisioned construction project will meet your objectives. This will include viable options, alternatives and practical information that will make your building decisions more informed and apprised.

Work Breakdown Structure Development - A unified Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) for use by all project participants will enable full coordination between all the disciplines.

Document control - A computerized document control system is advised for larger projects. This system can vary from a computerized tracking of correspondence, to the scanning of all virtually all paper documents into specialized computer software for retrieval throughout the network.

Management Information systems - We will evaluate the advisability of utilizing an on-site computer Local Area Network allowing client personnel in remote locations to have access to project data.

Risk Management - We perform a risk assessment on each project and develop a strategy to minimize risk and obtain appropriate insurance coverage. Our expertise implementing Owner-Controlled Insurance Programs has proven beneficial in certain project circumstances.

Contract Packaging And Bidding Strategy - As design progresses we will identify any project components that should be bid and constructed under a separate contract to minimize the exposure of the owner. We will coordinate the procurement and availability of owner supplied equipment and materials, whether new or being relocated from existing facilities.

Contractor Evaluation & Prequalification - We advise prequalifying construction contractors relative to financial capability, experience with your particular design characteristics, and overall past performance.

Construction Contract Bid & Award Administration - Working wiith the architect, we will develop construction contractor bid documents based on American Institute of Architects (AIA) or Association of General Contractors (AGC) standards which will be issued to prequalified contractors. We will then analyze the bids for accuracy and completeness, correlate the bids to an equitable standard, and present a package of the bids for review.

Permit Coordination - We will assist the owner and design team with the governmental agency approvals and assist in expediting the permitting process.

Logistics Planning - From early issues such as temporary site protection, demolition, or site clearing to construction phase requirements, we will assist in this planning necessary to insure an uninterrupted work flow.

Inspection - We can coordinate on-site inspection services and materials testing.

Safety And Security Management - A project owner is best protected by focusing safety and security requirements on the construction contractor. To achieve this objective, we ensure that appropriate language is included within the construction contract documents.We conduct audits to verify that safety and security programs and procedures are being enforced and advise on methods of motivating construction contractor personnel to participate in achieving this objective.

Facility turnover and Acceptance- As construction proceeds, we ensure that the construction contractor completes all punch list items and maintains as-built documentation to be provided to the owner. We coordinate with appropriate governmental agencies to obtain occupancy certificates.

Construction contract Closeout- We will ensure that all subcontractors and suppliers are paid, all work is completed in accordance with the contract documents and all guarantees and warranties are provided prior to authorizing release of retention to the construction contractor.
