Pre-Construction Phase
CM Company will work with the Owner and the Design Team to obtain a thorough understanding of the project programs, identify obstacles, and collectively work to offer solutions. We will conduct constructability and value engineering reviews of the design documents and make recommendations to representatives and the design team prior to design completion. We will coordinate permitting with the Building Department.
Preconstruction activities will include but won’t be limited to:
- Establishing a Developmental Schedule to identify required milestones and critical path for all phases of the project. A (CPN) Construction Schedule will be developed early on and included within the project specifications thus defining the expectations for the subcontractors at the time of bid.
- Developing a Detailed Site Material Handling Plan for the site(s) ensuring the safety of the site and surrounding properties.
- Establishing budgets and cost control system required for monitoring and controlling project costs and progressively develop construction cost estimates to confirm the projects are in line with the master budget parameters.
- Developing a Procurement Schedule for the selection, purchase and delivery of furniture, fixtures and
equipment. - Conduct thorough Constructability and Value Engineering Reviews, thus resulting in a clean and accurate set of documents prior to advertising for bid. This reduces the risk for change orders and delay in work once the project is under construction.
Procurement Phase
CM Company will work with the Owner and the Design Team to complete construction contract agreements, bid forms and documents required to complete “Division One” contract documents. We will conduct pre-bid conferences and site visits with potential bidders, review and analyze bids, evaluate low bidders, acquire insurance and bonding documentation.
Cost Control
After bidding is complete, CM Company will develop and maintain a Master Budget through project completion, assemble monthly Applications for Payment, and track contractor invoices — verifying that each contractor request is in line with the actual percent complete. We will also conduct inspections of stored material prior to acceptance of Application for Payment and review pricing submitted for all proposal requests and change orders.
