Our team shall provide an analysis of selected building systems, products, material selections, location of major MEP space and an analysis of existing conditions. We will review space limitations, tolerances and check on drawing coordination. MCM will provide recommendations and coordinate regular constructability review meetings with the Architect, providing a complete design analysis upon receipt of 30% drawings, after the completion of 60% drawings and prior to issuing 90% drawings for the city of Sunny Isles Beach GMP review. MCM incorporates the required design review times into the schedule with anticipated durations for addressing the City’s comments, if any, as well as the anticipated approvals. The monitoring of the reviews in the project schedule becomes our primary tracking tool for all required permits and their status. BUDGET ESTIMATING For the Government Center Annex project, MCM’s Chief Estimator, Armando Perez, P.E., LEED AP BD+C and his team will validate the City’s budget with cost estimates on every phase of design, beginning with schematics, design development and continuing on through 100% construction documents. The City will know at each of these phases where the budget stands. MCM will also provide value engineering options, if necessary, at each of these phases for the City’s consideration. During the Schematic Design Budget Estimate phase, the overall cost format for this project will be established so the intended project components, elements or facilities can be properly tracked during estimate progression. Coordination with the A/E of Record on the use of applicable structure and enclosure systems, material finishes, appropriate mechanical systems for its intended use including pipe materials, sizing and routing will be coordinated with the design team in parallel as the drawings are being developed. This collaboration will ensure the project will meet its intended performance and specification requirements while maintaining cost effectiveness. The Design Development Budget Estimate will be prepared when the design is at approximately 80% complete or as requested by the City. A more detailed quantity takeoff will be involved with fewer assumptions made during the Schematic Design Budget Estimate. At this phase of design, the A/E of Record should still be flexible in implementing design changes to achieve the desired intent. Cost estimates will be provided at each milestone deliverable to ensure compliance with the overall budget. During Progress Deliverable Submissions such as 30%, 60% and 90% construction documents, the Budget Estimate will be fine tuned to address design clarifications and any change that may have occurred DESIGN REVIEW EXAMPLE Miramar Readiness Center – In order to facilitate design coordination and review with the architect, MCM established pre- construction meetings weekly with the design team to ensure all elements were coordinated. In addition, the team held a 2-day design charrette, during which time the Owner, A/E, and MCM met and reviewed each trade’s scope of work. Prior to the charrette, MCM requested that their subcontractors provide any scope related questions they had for coordination with the design team. This list was then provided to the Owner and A/E a week prior to the meeting to allow the team time to become familiar with the questions prior to discussions. During the charrette, MCM invited key subcontractors into the meeting at designated times, facilitating a discussion between all parties to ensure a complete understanding of the design and scope of work.
