Phase 01 · Project construction planning
Plan the work before the work.
Every successful project starts with a clear plan, an honest budget and a team that agrees on the goals.
Project CM meets with you and your consultants, gathers everything already known from earlier planning and due diligence, and turns it into a plan you can manage the whole project against.
Meet with you, your consultants and engineers to fine-tune the plan and agree on how to move forward.
Earlier planning and due diligence pulled into one plan that breaks the job into attainable goals, covering scope, standards, design criteria, cost and schedule.
A big-picture timeline of every task from start to occupancy, with responsibilities and deadlines from the architect, engineers, contractor and FF&E team. It works alongside the contractor's detailed schedule.
Cost targets built from your input, the contractor, the design team and independent estimates, so the budget is tested early.
Consultants and designers kept on track with the preconstruction schedule and budget, with regular design reviews against your goals.
Reviews across disciplines that look for better sequencing, maintainability, accessibility and lifecycle value, with value-engineering options to bring the budget in line.
Utility conflicts, phasing, procurement, permitting and schedule risks flagged early, with practical alternatives and their trade-offs laid out plainly.
Meetings with city officials and the building department, with your involvement in critical agency submittals organized.
Project CM chairs project coordination meetings so decisions are made and the work keeps moving.
