RFQ No. 15-08-02 Construction Management at Risk for Government Center Annex at 18080 Collins Avenue 10 within a particular time in order to bring a project in on time or early. While other areas of work can be altered more easily, these areas of work, such as the building shell construction and interior framing and drywall, must be put in place in order to have the next step of the project take place. Coordination oF tradEs - sEQuEnCing oF work and managing oF shoP drawings We are adept at sequencing work and masters at holding our contractors to their agreed upon schedule. Because of our reputation and longevity in the South Florida market, we attract the best subcontractors who have a history of integrity, loyalty and quality (along with competitive prices). Before construction begins our subcontractors and suppliers are required to submit their final sequencing, durations and level of detail schedule. The final construction schedule is then incorporated into each subcontractor’s contract. To ensure an accurate scheduling process for all shop drawings and submittals, we create a comprehensive procurement schedule as a primary section to our overall CPM schedule. Each submittal and scheduling activity is clearly identified with early start, late start, early finish and late finish dates and then made part of the critical path of the project. This section of our critical path schedule is monitored daily and updated weekly at a minimum. Then it is distributed to our project subcontractors and suppliers. Prior to commencement of construction, we create a comprehensive shop drawing/submittal log with our project management software, Procore. This log is updated daily and reviewed at all weekly subcontractor and owner meetings. The status section of this log alerts all parties responsible for the next step in the submittal/shop drawing process and provides them with a deadline that is derived directly from the critical path schedule. COST CONTROL DURING CONSTRUCTION aCCuratE traCking EliminatEs suPrisEs Accurate cost control for construction projects can be summed up in one key word, “continuity.” Continuity requires effectively communicating how the estimate was developed to the people who are responsible for the development of job cost reporting. This is accomplished through open lines of communication and established accurate and highly detailed cost coding that both the Project Manager and Superintendent understand and implement. The Project Manager and Superintendent are responsible for accurately cost coding all invoices and subcontractor requisitions. Through Timberline Accounting software, our accounting department then inputs this information along with project payroll and incidentals to create the Job Cost Report and Job Transaction Report. These reports are then published on a weekly basis for review by the Project Executive, Project Manager and Superintendent. Cost control begins very early in the planning process. When all aspects of a project are properly considered in the estimating phase, the project team can better concentrate on production, quality and cost savings. The P6 software utilized by Kaufman Lynn includes a cost loading feature which enables us to input scheduled values for each trade, general conditions, etc… into designated fields and project costs versus time with great accuracy creating accurate cash flow projections and serving as additional support for monthly applications for payment. The input information can be updated as necessary. When a project is managed effectively, the project team has a greater ability to spot and capitalize on potential savings. Kaufman Lynn includes every possible item in the schedule, down to when we put the handles on the doors, to make sure we synchronize all aspects of work and every material delivery. Our final result is buildings completed on time or early. Project Approach & Understanding Section D
