RFQ No. 15-08-02 Construction Management at Risk for Government Center Annex at 18080 Collins Avenue 37 a few. Also, our goal is to be the conduit of communication to all team partners during the life of the design process. Clear, concise and continual discussion and documentation will be the goal and key component to the success of the design stage. Our highly qualified Quality Control Consultant makes sure to review all systems as they relate to paint, exterior finishes, windows, roofing, waterproofing and caulking at the very beginning of the design and budgeting process. We begin this process by meeting with the with the owner and the entire design team to ensure all systems are compatible. Then we work with our preconstruction staff to review submittals with a checklist of what must be included such as: manufacturer product data, details and installation instruction, preparations procedures, qualifications of installers, shop drawings with sequencing for installation, notice of acceptance (if necessary), wind calculations, special requirements and a sample copy of the warranty. After this process we review all submittals to make sure that proper waterproofing components, materials and installation processes are being submitted in compliance with the contract documents. Our quality control consultant then reviews the construction details, products and systems prior to us bidding and providing the Guaranteed Maximum Price to an owner. The benefit of this, is that when we get to the GMP we are clear that the systems on the Construction plans are compatible with one another and in conformance with all the current Building Codes required for the project. COMMUNICATION: KEEPING EVERYONE INFORMED AND INVOLVED Construction is a collaborative activity, pooling the knowledge and experience of many people. After an initial kick-off meeting, we suggest weekly meetings with the entire team for complete and accurate exchanges of information and maximum accountability. Kaufman Lynn Construction uses Procore, an on-demand construction software designed to facilitate document management and team communication. By hosting documents online, they are available to all team members. Owners have 24/7 access to contract documents, change orders, RFI’s, meeting minutes, schedules and progress photos. All team members can access the information in real time 24/7 on their tablets, phones or computers to keep everyone up to date on progress RFI’s are tracked and users can easily see the status. Even more importantly the process of responding to an RFI is as simple as sending an email, which assures use of the software by team members. BUDGET ESTIMATING Based on the project program and planned budget the first budget/estimate will be based on schematic plans and early specifications. Some critical subcontractor design assist input and a complete quantitative analysis with graphical take-off will be included. Assumptions will continue to be made where appropriate and allowances established for items undetermined. Based on overall cost at this point, the introduction of Value Management options would come into play to assure the target budget is not exceeded. Subsequently, the design development phase will allow for a larger complement of subcontractor design assist input as we work towards a tighter cost parameter and begin identifying contingencies necessary within the project cost. And as more information is now available, the need for assumptions and allowances reduces. A gap analysis is done at this point to assure as best possible that no “holes” or “overlaps” are evident in the estimated amount and a complete review of Value Management options is conducted to adjust cost to within the target amount. Wish list items are also discussed for possible inclusion in the budget. ULTRA DETAILED CONCEPTUAL ESTIMATES The conceptual estimated set the standard for the remainder of the estimates and are designed to provide the team actionable information.
