Project Management and Quality Control SBLM's quality assurance controls ensure that projects remain on track by maintaining schedule and budget requirements. SBLM believes that an effective quality control strategy is based on maintaining the continuity of the project team; transparent communication between the team members, clients, and consultants; the early detection of potential problems; a well-organized approach to all design work; clear, concise construction documents; and a hands-on approach during the construction phase. SBLM prepares a cost estimate during the pre-design phase in line with the standards established by the client. This estimate is updated after a thorough and complete explanation of the systems and materials is approved by the client during the Design Development phase. The firm's quality assurance controls include: City/design team meetings to agree upon project goals, program schedule, budget, approvals process and protocols. Documenting decisions and project process in memoranda, schedules, programs and budgets. Regular team meetings to monitor progress against detailed pre-established schedules and cost estimates. . Weekly planning sessions to allocate resources in order to meet schedules Updating lists of action items and schedules and distributing them to all parties. SBLM maintains rigorous standards of review, coordination, red-marking and conformance. . The clear designation and monitoring of communication channels, responsibilities and milestones. The Project Manager works with trades and specialties to manage the project through completion, punch list and close-out. Sharing of information about problems and solutions common to multiple projects through meetings and regular office-wide seminars. Soliciting feedback from contractors and suppliers and incorporating this knowledge into current projects Construction Phase Services SBLM provides construction supervision on nearly all of our projects. In order to monitor the construction activities on site, we establish bi- weekly construction meetings for each project. All memoranda, schedules, programs, events, and budgets are documented by the SBLM team and distributed in a timely manner to the necessary parties. During the construction process, SBLM engages in project reviews as determined by the client. SBLM is available to meet with the client or contractor for on-site discoveries or to consult on issues that may require immediate attention. Our services include the following: On-Site Construction Quality Review and Documentation: SBLM will observe contractors' work in relation to the project drawings, specifications, and legal standards. SBLM will review and evaluate shop drawings and product documents for compliance with relevant building codes and standards established by the City of Miami. Delivery of Field Reports and Meeting Minutes: SBLM will produce all applicable reports and meeting minutes as the project requires. Punch Lists and Walkthroughs: SBLM will complete punch lists of inaccurate, damaged, or incorrect construction features. Final walkthrough appointments with the client and contractor are necessary for both liability and close-out functions before final occupancy. Our rigorous documentation procedures result in a better understanding of the project's development by all involved parties. A running list of open items will be maintained until all items are resolved and/or completed. SBLM is committed to the highest standards of project management and delivery from project kick-off through client occupancy. I. AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE The foregoing is a statement of facts. 31.
