CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION PHASE
-
BIDDING
Most projects are negotiated contracts and do not need go through the competitive bidding process.
If there is a desire to bid, we can assist in the following:
Project may be bid to a min. (3) General Contractors and compare bids.
Bid analysis report (as needed)
We can provide recommendations for Contractor selection, however the selection of the General Contractor is the responsibility of the Client.
Requests for Information received during bidding, including clarifications or modifications to the Construction Documents(addenda) will result in additional fees.
-
REQUESTS FOR INFORMATION
All Requests for Information (RFI’ s) must be submitted electronically via email or by clicking HERE.
The Client must appoint any authorized representatives to submit all Requests for Information as hourly rates may incur without Client Pre-Approval.
We will only respond to RFI requests via email from the Client, General Contractor, or authorized representative.
Requests directly from tradesmen or verbal responses are not permitted.
-
SHOP DWG REVIEW
Shop drawing review and approvals are included in this phase. Shop drawings must be submitted electronically. We will review to determine compliance with the Construction Documents.
-
AS-BUILT DRAWINGS
The Client, Landlord, or Local Authority may require As-Built Plans.
The General Contractor shall provide 'RED LINED' plans documenting all field revisions during construction for us to add to the Final As-Built Plans.
-
ESTIMATING
Currently, we do NOT offer Estimating Services.
Due to major market fluctuations, it will be hard to predict the cost of a project from Design to Permitting.
It is recommended the Client retain an Estimating Service, Construction Manager or General Contractor early in the Schematic Design or Construction Documentation phase to assist in project budgeting. Plan revisions to reduce project cost after completion of the Construction Documents will be invoiced at Hourly Rates unless lump sum fee is agreed to prior to revisions.
-
COORDINATION/REVIEW MEETINGS
Site visits to answer any questions and review progress and conformance with the Contract Documents.
Can be provided Weekly, Monthly, or Upon Request.
-
PAYMENT APPLICATIONS, CHANGE ORDERS, SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
We can review and certify the Contractor’s payment requisitions and review any change order requests. For work that requires clarification or alteration we will issue ‘revisions to facilitate the Contractor’s work.
-
PROJECT CLOSE-OUT
At ‘Substantial Completion’ we can work with the Contractor to generate a punch list and oversee its execution. At the end of the project we will issue a ‘certificate of final completion’ and authorize the release of the final payment.
This phase ends with the completed project, ready to move in.
