Construction Management
Why Consider a Construction Management Company?
There are many complex issues that must be considered and dealt with properly for any construction project to be successful.
Many organizations are not fully aware of the duties and responsibilities of a Construction Management Consultant, and are therefore hesitant to hire one.
Who will handle the following issues?
- Design, engineering and budget requirements
- Analyze the feasibility of materials, methods and other construction factors relating to cost
- Coordinate contract documents, drawings, specifications and schedules
- Qualify and coordinate contractors, either general or specialty contractors
- Hold a pre-bid conference and/or explain the project to the contractors
- Receive and analyze the bids for accuracy and adherence to the specifications
- Prepare the construction contract and schedule
- Coordinate the contractors’ activities to meet the owners’ requirements
- Review the work in progress
- Verify compliance with contract specifications, schedules and invoice requests
- Review change orders for cost and accuracy
- Maintain cost accounting records and make sure lien releases are properly executed
- Provide interpretations and resolutions to issues that arise during the course of the work
- Verify proper certificates of insurance for each contractor
- Review and approve product samples, shop drawings, or other submittals
- Conduct final inspection of the project and develop a "punch list"
- Verify the receipt of all guarantees, affidavits, releases and manuals
As you can see, there are many questions to consider in engaging any construction project.
"I can also tell you that I experienced an excellent rapport with Design Build Associates and their on site supervisor during the entire project and was very pleased with the professional manner in which everyone handled themselves. Our Spa customers were almost unaware of the construction taking place in their environment ... Given the high expectations of your typical European Health Spa customer, this was phenomenal!"
