Intelligent evaluation of the facts, professional management of the details

Construction Management - Overall site management of construction activities including contractor bidding, awarding of contracts, scheduling, scope of work, contractor payments and all phases of the physical construction. It also includes coordination and implementation of the project’s architectural and engineering designs as well as clarifying time and cost consequences of design decisions and their construction practicality for the Owner.

Project Management – All-inclusive implementation of the Owner’s project. Planning, scheduling, accounting, supervising construction activities, measuring physical progress and controlling the entire project for the Owner. Professional coordination of design, funding, cash flows, purchasing, engineering and construction management as one efficient entity from inception to completion.

Owner's Representative - Responsibility for the Owner's best interest before, during and after the project. Verify cost accounting and product value during the course of construction. Verify appropriate pricing and procedures. Verify and approve contractor/vendor invoicing and progress completed. Review, investigate, and complete all related government entity requirements. Act on behalf of the Owner on all contract and course of construction decisions.

Design/Build - Construction techniques whereby the contractor and the consultant develop the Owner’s concept, design the project, obtain all local planning and building department approvals as well as actually constructing the structure or project. The Owner typically works directly with the contractor and the consultant in lieu of relying on conceptual architectural designs and engineering services. The Owner can expect complete control of the construction schedule and reduced costs due to the more efficient constructability of the design. Typically, this approach is used when the Owner knows exactly what they want for all aspects of the project.

Value Engineering – A creative, organized effort, which analyzes the requirements of a project for the purpose of achieving the essential functions at the lowest total costs through the study of alternate design concepts, materials, and methods without compromising the functional and value objectives of the Client. Includes an analysis of types of materials available, construction procedures and equipment options related to the project to make selections with the Owner for the purpose of achieving the required outcome at a lower overall cost consistent with the requirements for performance, reliability and maintainability.
