‘Building Quality Together’

 

Construction Management is a process by which the Owner’s Representative (Construction Manager) and the Owner work closely together to maximize quality and professionalism.  It is a specialized management service performed for the purpose of coordination and accomplishment of project planning, design and construction.

 

Some of the key advantages of using a construction manager are:

 

1.   Leverage the construction manager’s knowledge of the construction process;

2.   Expedite project tasks by providing the construction manager with direct control of project scheduling;

3.   Negotiate directly with subcontractors if there are changes in scope;

4.   Minimize the threat of liens by paying contractors and suppliers directly;

5.   Maintain direct control over payments made to the contractor(s) giving the homeowner the ability to pay actual costs plus agreed upon markups;

6.   Save money on your project by not paying excessive sub-contractor mark-ups, overhead, and profit margins;

7.   Ability to manage and access actual subcontract agreements, material receipts and actual labor time sheets, allowing you to see what the project really costs;

8.   Maximize quality through every phase of the construction process with site supervision, quality control  processes, and regular inspections.

 

Plan For Success

 

By planning early, you will be in a better position to achieve success on your project.  Advantages of planning early are:

 

1.   Ample time to flesh out your design completely so that you are totally satisfied with all of the decisions you have made;

2.   Allows you to secure the best contractor(s), and the best value for your project by tendering early.  The most reputable contractors are fully booked very early in the season;

3.   Allows you sufficient time to secure financing if required;

4.   Allows you to finalize all permits and approvals with the City in order to eliminate future surprises; and, most important of all;

5.   By planning early you are taking measures to ensure that your home project will be a pleasant and enjoyable experience.

 

A project must have a definite start and finish, and not linger on forever.  Planning early, and using a construction manager can save you time, frustration, help control building costs, and provide closure to your project.
