What We Do:

Weekly Job Meeting Documentation The contractor’s project manager responsibly prepares a critique of the contractors meeting minutes at the conclusion of each project meeting; the Owner’s project manager (OPM) oversees and manages contractor’s achievement of the action plan that is an integral element of these minutes. Although the change of communication lies between the contractor and their subcontractors the OPM reaches beyond these boundaries when levels of satisfaction are not met. Timely responses to weekly meeting, from all participants, are crucial to a successful outcome. Construction Observation and Site Visits On site meeting days and on an at-call basis the Owner’s project manager performs a recordable site visit, meets with the project manage and/or superintendent and discusses the contractor’s short term planning strategy. Observes the work-in-place and reports his findings. When issues arise a collaborative meeting with the Architect/Engineers (A/E) will be promptly schedule to expose the issue and to take necessary steps to rectify. Progress Reporting A monthly progress report will be prepared identifying the following areas of interest:

• Project financials • Work accomplished to the date of visitation • Anticipated activities for the upcoming

month • Issues • Time & Budget Comment


What We Do:

Change Order Review and Negotiation Change management is a big part of the Owner’s project manager’s duties. Prior to addressing issues with the Owner the OPM will meet with the project manager and/or superintendent to and ascertain from them the interpretation they formulated prior to making this claim. It is the OPM that needs to determine whether the issue is a matter of “means and methods” or a detail, if built, will not reveal the desired intent of the construction. Hence, the issue would become a matter of concern and review by the A/E, and a formal response would follow. The OPM controls the timing by which issues decisions are made to keep the projects activities moving. Payment Requisition Auditing Monthly, we will evaluate the application for payment submission to assure that the requested values do not exceed the work in place. We will monitor closely the distribution of dollars with the assurance that all tiers of involvement are being paid from the dollars “paid-to-date” as defined in the application for payment process. This would mean a waiver of lien would be required from each entity identified as deserving of payment for work performed. This is your protection for claims made against the project by a sub-subcontractor who performed work in good faith and failed to receive just payment. This will be a monthly process that ends with a final waiver of lien.

Budget Tracking We use a simplified spreadsheet that manages your money, with your approval. Contained in this binder is a copy of a sample document that can be modified for your project. The upper portion is the expenses section of your project and the lower the funding section. Schedule Maintenance We will demand weekly, notification of release of subcontracts and tier relationships, early identification of materials’ availability and purchases, delivery scheduling, a project construction schedule supported by a field generated 3-

What We Do:

Furniture and Equipment Reuse and Purchase We will see to it that the contractor manages your select venders in their construction schedules and we will bring together the appropriate people to assure seamless integration. Voice and Data Coordination With communications being a key factor of this project, we will bring into view the importance of this trade to the contractor. We will lead the two to an understanding of importance on serving the client and project within a high level of collaboration and commitment. We will be certain to impress the importance of this vendor and every Owner vendor on this project. Construction Punchlist Management Our goal here would be to require that the contractor begin two very important functions at the 6-week remaining to complete stage of the project. First, to prepare a contractor’s punchlist on areas of work called out to be complete. Secondly, we will ask the contractor to seek architect’s consent and agreement that the punchlist is comprehensive and to being corrective work immediately thereupon. Contract Negotiation to Include: Furniture, Security, Telephone, Cabling, Signage and Other Contracts We will join the contractor and at his digression lead the purchase negotiations for the noted material purchases.
