Pre-Construction
Construction Drawings Review
Prior to the completion of construction drawings, provide in-depth plan review analysis to the owner. This third-party review can generate cost-effective alternatives, adding value through both cost-saving options and quality upgrades for similar expected costs. This alternative perspective can warrant the highest level of constructability during construction and quality finish while meeting owner expectations of cost, quality, and schedule.
Pre-Project Planning Package
Project Budget
Deliver high-quality and highly detailed take-offs and conclusive budget. This includes a comprehensive overview of required scopes and methods necessary to obtain initial bids from contractors. Budgets are derived from compiled historical data extrapolated into a future cost curve projection.
Project Schedule
Using the project take-off, develop a project-specific schedule to meet the stakeholder expectations. The project schedule will be created with industry-standard scheduling software that allows for PDF viewability to ensure usability and visibility.
Project Cash Flow
Combining the conclusive budget and project schedule, render detailed cash flow projections spreadsheets and charts. The cash flow predictions can be customized to meet stakeholder project planning demands.
Proposal Request, Analysis, and Award Management
Provide customized Request For Proposal documentation (RFP) to send to contractors/sub-contractors. This step sets the tone for the entire project. Providing the appropriate details to the appropriate contractors for each project is an art.
Present full bid analysis for every scope. This includes running detailed bid tabulations to ensure complete and thorough bids from every contractor.
Leverage industry knowledge and experience to provide advisory guidance on contractor selection and awarding of scopes. This step is key step and represents the crossroads of value and quality.
