CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION
We assist you, the Client, with navigating through the complex process of sending out bids to contractors. Once the bids are back, we go through them with you and help you make an educated and financially-sound decision. When it comes to contracts we help you review those and, if needed, format them for higher accountability from the contractors. As the construction begins, we frequently visit the site and report on the progress while making keen observations of the site condition, proper installation and meeting of the design-intent. Finally, we assist you in ensuring that you are paying for the quality of work received and not settling for less.
CONSTRUCTION *MANAGEMENT
We assist you in almost the entire process of managing your construction. This service includes the following: sending out bids and reviewing them; selecting the right construction team; managing budget; scheduling material delivery; creating and adhering to construction schedule; resolving issues in the field and in design, if applicable; providing frequent progress reports and more. In other words, we do everything but the management of payment to contractors, and taking liability for contractors’ mistakes, and typical risks that a General Contractor carries. It is a highly-collaborative effort between us and you, the Client, with frequent communication to ensure that we are working together with your blessing to get everything finished on time and on budget. Our success is your success.
An asterisk * implies that our Financial Gain is less than that of a GC; however, our Risk is also minimal.
OWNER REPRESENTATION
This type of service implies assistance, mainly review and advisory role, with select and key elements of the construction process. It is mainly a “hands-off” approach where our expertise helps you make and execute decisions. This service can even start during the design phase when another architect is hired for the design portion of the work. In other words, we act as a “knowledgeable” board to bounce your decisions and ideas off of.
