Scope of Work and Requests for Proposals
In our combined 50+ years of experience as Project Managers we found that requests for proposals to contractors, sub-contractors and vendors are paramount for the project success. Architects and engineers are not perfect and there are always missing or convoluted elements and details shown on the drawings or specifications that result in change orders for added cost or delay. A very important part of our service is to evaluate the project documents and prepare Requests for Proposals (RFPs) that include detailed scope of work for each important task that include added information that allows the contractors to bid the project properly and limit future potential change orders (PCOs).
Buyout and Agreements
As your Project Managers, we make it our goal to get the best value in terms of cost and quality and ensure project budget and scheduling. We will invite and secure bids from our list of contractors and sub-contractors, most of whom we have worked with previously, or we know can handle the job in terms of scope of work, quality and within time constraints of the project.
We will help prepare agreements with contractors and work with your legal and administrative team to verify that all state and local licensing, insurance and permits are valid and proper. Buyout process that includes contract awards and agreements with contractors, if prepared and orchestrated correctly, will guarantee financial success of the project.
Scheduling Methods and Tools
All pertinent team members are involved in the creation of the schedule and the exercise is most often led by the project manager and superintendent. This, along with gathering data from key subcontractors, ensures a meticulously crafted timeline. The procurement of all materials, including lead times and prices, will be transferred into the pre-construction phase of the master schedule and the team will carefully track the pertinent items.
We know how important schedules are for projects and are committed to keeping your project on its critical path, endeavoring to anticipate problems before they become issues or emergencies. Regardless to any potential problems or complications that may arise during construction, we will make every effort to anticipate and prepare for any eventuality.
