4. APPROACH / METHODOLOGY West Construction, Inc. 820 North 4th Street, Lantana, Florida 33462 Phone: 561-588-2027 / Fax: 561-582-9419 Contractor’s License: CGC1516626 www.westconstructioninc.net IDENTIFY & CORRECT It is the responsibility of the Project Manager and the project staff to review the construction work for conformance with the contract documents, applicable codes, constructability and coordination issues. West performs all work to the highest standard. Should any work be deemed as non-complying we will find the root of the issue, solve the problem and see that the issue does not reoccur. PREVENTING DEFICIENCIES In prevention there is no substitute for experience. West Superintendents have extensive backgrounds in supervising excavation, site work, concrete, masonry and carpentry. They also have years of experience supervising and coordinating the installation of MEP systems and all building finishes. Their knowledge and qualifications allows the ability to thwart possible issues. The project team makes regular tours to observe work in progress, identify deficiencies and prevent them from recurring. Checklists are regularly used as input for preventing errors, monitor the specific results to determine if they comply with our established standards, reducing unsatisfactory results. COST CONTROL During the construction phase, we maintain cost control by strict documentation of the project. These documents include: monthly updated CPM schedules, on-site current drawings and specifications noting any changes from the permitted set of drawings and immediately providing costs for Owner-requested changes. Our full-time on-site superinten- dent provides an up to date two-week look ahead forecasting daily activities in order curtail inactivity on the job site. Our superintendent will also verify that all specified products and materials are being used on the project eliminating the need to correct mistakes due to lack of attention. SCHEDULING The cornerstone to successful integration of in-house tradesmen and local subcontractors work is scheduling. Effective scheduling can cause a project to running efficiently, no matter how many subcontractors are involved. However, ineffective scheduling can result in work stoppages, poor quality, confusion, and ultimately, project failure. West Construction, Inc. has a truly top-notch scheduling department within our company and have the ability to success- fully coordinate the work of everyone involved in our projects, no matter how many activities are simultaneously underway. In addition, our on-site teams are very successful and experienced in coordinating the work of everyone involved on the project. We will utilize Primavera planning system software for this contract that automatically links specific parts, and/or tasks, of the project. The critical deadlines and key dates are initially entered; therefore, any changes made to the schedule will trigger a “red flag” based on these deadlines and key dates. After the initial setup of the project schedule, actual dates are entered as tasks are completed resulting in automatic shifting and adjusting of the overall schedule - deadlines are left in place unless specifically changed. The scheduling software utilizes a computerized Critical Path Method (CPM) scheduling in Precedence Diagramming Method (PDM) format. This software package allows us the ability to integrate cost and schedule controls into a single reference. All schedules will be resource -loaded and illustrated in a time-scaled bar chart format supported by logical relationship- listing all predecessor and successor activities. We will develop all required Work Breakdown Structures (WBS) for the complete project, which will be the hierarchical structure of all the tasks required to execute all aspects and phases of this Project.
