Manage Construction Phase


Information Management
The construction phase requires specific tracking and documentation tools to properly manage clarifications and potential changes in the work. The tools used to manage this process are as follows:
  • Owner/Developer/Architect Documentation
    • Bulletins
    • Architect's Supplemental Instructions (ASI's)
  • General Contractor Documentation
    • Requests For Information (RFI's)
    • Quality Control Documentation
      • Submittals
      • Punch Lists
      • Change Order Proposals (COP's)
      • Change Orders
      • Payment Requests
Staging And Logistics
Prior to construction, review the construction staging and traffic plan, as prepared by the general contractor, considering factors such as:
  • Adjacent property conditions and requirements
  • Construction material movement requirements
  • Site logistics
Building Code Permitting And Inspections
Early in the design process, initiate meetings with the code officials to learn of all regulatory requirements and any special issues or concerns that may apply to the project.

Materials Testing Coordination< /I>
Technical quality control and testing of material, such as concrete, soils or structural steel will be coordinated on-site. Monitor results and assist in resolution of any quality issues affecting the project.

Architect And Consultant Site Inspections
Design consultant site inspection will be scheduled and coordinated resulting in site observation reports and pay request approvals.

Quality Assurance
In conjunction with the general contractor's programs, a construction quality program will be implemented. The quality assurance program includes the following elements:
  • Quality Awareness of the Job
  • Pre-Construction Meetings
  • Work-in Progress Checklists
  • Construction Correction Notices
  • Construction Change Directives
  • Material Inspections
  • Mock-Ups
  • Model Room
  • Owner, Architect and Developer Inspections
Safety
Monitor the general contractor's construction safety program. This program will be reviewed regularly during the project and enforced by all parties.

Construction Scheduling
Once the general contractor's overall project schedule (OPS) has been established, monitor this schedule continually and oversee recovery schedules as needed.

Cost Management
Prepare cash flow projections, analyze appropriate proposals, review contractor billings, maintain job cost records and prepare project cost projections.

Monthly Invoicing
A comprehensive monthly project billing will be assembled and forwarded to the owner. Design consultants, contractors, FF&E and other appropriate invoicing will be reviewed for correctness and processed accordingly for payment.

Change Orders And Claims Management
Whether due to owner requested changes or due to unforeseeable and unavoidable conditions, the need for review of contractor pricing during construction is often required. With a thorough understanding of pricing techniques and historical industry pricing and standards, The Hardin Group is highly equipped to evaluate sub-contractor proposals and ensure that pricing of changes is fair and equitable.

Dispute Resolution And Management
We know that avoiding disputes, thereby protecting the owner is a job that begins on day one. Establishing clear scope, schedules, and accurate pricing leads to a well run project.
