Management Services
A Project is a temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique product, service or result with identifiable phases and service requirements for each, starting with the earliest phase; Pre-Design (PD), followed by Pre-Construction (SD, DD), Construction (CD, BD, CA) and Project Closeout (CO). Depending on the project’s schedule these phases can run concurrent or overlap on a “Fast-Track” project. The Four Dimensions of a Construction Project: Functionality - what the building is intended to do Quality - how well it performs that function, and the intangible aspects of aesthetics and style Cost - how much it will cost to build, operate and occupy it Schedule - how to most efficiently sequence the work, and how long it will take to complete it Each of these dimensions is important to you, not just the cost. Each warrants rigorous oversight and controls to ensure your requirements are first well defined, and then fully implemented. A project has to address all of these dimensions to be considered as a successful project. Typical Owner’s Representation, Construction Management or Project Management consulting services provided on a Project by FAnderson, LLC vary per each Phase of a Project. Project Management breaks down the chaos of an overwhelming workload into manageable elements - scope, time, cost, quality, human resources, communication, risk, procurement and integration, as the project unfolds our role will be tailored to each phase of the project, some typical services per Phase are listed below: Pre-Design (PD) Phase Services: Pre-Design (PD) is the phase of analysis that occurs after some form of funding is available and before design begins. During the pre-design phase, studies are done to analyze space requirement issues, the constraints and opportunities of the proposed site, and the cost versus the budget. The amount of funding available in the pre-design phase varies and is a critical factor in determining which studies take precedence. Funds may be available to develop a detailed project program or only to investigate certain technical issues in order to determine scope, budget, or project schedule. Services in this Phase might include: Scope definition and management Establishment and maintenance of communications procedures Budget development Master schedule development Site selection assistance Architect / engineer selection advisory Specialty consultant selection advisory Development of project-specific websites Cost estimating and value analysis Identifying phasing alternatives and establishing milestones Constructability and bid-ability reviews Procedures and logistics assessment General conditions and contract requirements advisory Assistance with testing/inspection sub-contractors Bid phase management Pre-Construction (SD, DD) Phase Services: Schematic Design (SD) establishes the general scope, conceptual design, scale and relationships among the components of the project. The primary objective is to arrive at a clearly defined, feasible concept while exploring the most promising alternative design solutions. The Architect will prepare a series of rough plans, known as schematics, which show the general arrangement of rooms and of the building on the site. Models and/or illustrations are prepared to help visualize the project as necessary. The project proceeds to the next phase when the Owner approves the SD submission. In the Design Development (DD) phase the Architect expands upon the approved schematic design studies to develop more detailed drawings illustrating other aspects of the proposed design. Floor plans show all the rooms in correct size and shape. Outline specifications are prepared listing the major materials and room finishes. The Architect in conjunction with the Owner’s representative verifies that the design complies with building codes and works with engineers to design the structure, mechanical and electrical systems. The project proceeds to the next phase when the Owner approves the Design Development submission. Services in this Phase might include: Help coordinate design Review proposed designs for constructability Providing constructability and bid-ability reviews Provide cost information for proposed design schemes Research, analyze, and make recommendations on proposed systems Provide life cycle analysis on systems and materials being considered Perform value engineering services Provide estimates for analysis of alternative schemes and systems Cost estimating and value analysis Construction (CD, BD, CA) Phase Services: Once the Owner has approved, the Architect prepares Construction Documents (CD) which are detailed working drawings (known as blueprints) and specifications, which the Contractor will use to establish the actual construction cost and build the project. These drawings and specifications become part of the construction contract between the Owner and Contractor. If the Owner is choosing from among several Contractors, the Architect or Owner’s Representative can help to prepare Bidding Documents (BD) as well as invitations to bid and instructions to bidders, the conditions of the contract, and the form of agreement between the Owner and the Contractor. While the Contractor will physically build the project, the Architect can assist the Owner by performing Construction Administration (CA), making site visits to observe the construction to determine, in general, if the project is being built according to the plans and specifications. The Architect may also review and approve the Contractor's applications for payment, process change orders, and generally keep the Owner informed of the project's progress. The Contractor is solely responsible for construction methods, techniques, schedules, and procedures. Services in this Phase might include: CPM scheduling and schedule monitoring Cost control oversight Professional on-site management Leadership of job coordination meetings Contract administration and management Regular inspection and quality assurance enforcement Progress and financial reporting Documentation and file maintenance Change order management Open item tracking and reporting Issue avoidance and dispute resolution Contract closeout supervision Commissioning oversight Completed Operations (CO) Phase Services: When all construction activities to be performed by or on behalf of the contractor under contract have been completed to the satisfaction of the owner the project enters into Completed Operations (CO) phase. FAndersonLLC is focused on managing the design and construction of projects to minimize operational costs during the post occupancy period. This involves careful selection of systems to maximize ease of use and minimize need for replacement following the completion of construction. Careful attention must also be paid to warranties, to make sure that any repair/replacement that occurs during the warranty period is covered. A large area of potential operational cost savings is clearly energy. FAndersonLLC is an Energy Star Partner (www.energystar.gov), and is focused on energy conservation through design, construction and operations. FAndersonLLC can perform detailed energy audits for all building types, and then works with clients to implement the energy cost savings in the most cost effective way possible. Services in this Completed Operations include two distinct areas. They are: Project Closeout: The closeout of a project is finalized when the project is formally approved by receipt of the “CERTIFICATE OF SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION” signed by the owner and other designated stakeholders, i.e. Owner’s Representative. Formal approval acknowledges that all the deliverables produced and activities performed during the construction of the project are complete, reviewed, and accepted. Services in this Phase might include: Verify Punchlist completion Remove all temporary site facilities, trailers, etc. Collect all final invoices/billings: complete and deliver final billing Complete and collect all final lien waivers Final inspections/secure certificate of occupancy from code body Contact insurance carrier(s) – policy end Final cleaning – interior Final cleaning/rubbish removal – site Secure as-built drawings (from subcontractors) Secure operations & maintenance (O & M) manuals Secure all product warranties (*may be part of O & M) Systems start-up and customer employee training programs Supply customer with additional material and spare parts per spec Collect and transfer keys to owner prior to final keying Change over utility connections/fees (gas, electric, telephone, etc.) Reconcile change orders and retainages Request letter of recommendation from owner Complete final A/E affidavits and closeout documents Notice of completion/closeout documents from A/E Overseeing selection, delivery, and installation of fixtures, furnishings and equipment Review closeout documentation from contractor Check warranties, guarantees, and service contracts Review shop drawings, cuts, and operating manual file Review final lien waivers and affidavits Review final pay request Assist in expediting final punch list activities Assist in obtaining certificate of occupancy Assist in establishing dates of Substantial and Final Completion Assist in the purchase, delivery and installation of furniture and equipment Assist the Owner with move-in Warranty: The warranty period begins upon approval of issuance of a “CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION” and acceptance of the Owner and is generally for a one (1) year period and covers equipment status and performance issues of the work and equipment provided by the contract between the Owner and Contractor. FAndersonLLC will prepare a summary of events at the end of one (1) year addressing equipment performance problems, description, repairs and overall assessment of equipment status and warranty performance. Services in this Phase might include: Receive and review applicable written warranties Administer the guarantee and warranty period for the Owner Performing warranty inspections, prior to the end of the one (1) year period Assist with the A/E’s and Contractors warranties FAnderson's Selected Project Experience: (most recent listed first) As Project Manager, working alongside FEMA, responsibilities were to coordinate a report of findings of damage due to Hurricane Katrina and subsequent project management for the Architectural Design Team on the refurbishment of the restrooms, concessions, suites, locker rooms and seating bowl. *work performed while under employment with another firm As Project Manager, working with developer and buyers, responsibilities were to coordinate the design and construction of individual units for select clients and the developer on their furbished units. *work performed while under employment with another firm Additional Selected Project Experience (alpha order) *work performed while under employment with another firm Ameristar Bank of Cavender’s Western Wear, 15,000 SF Retail Store: Village West, Church of the Rock, 3,500 seat Religious facility: Cooke Residence, Private 20,000-square foot villa: FedExField, NFL Stadium Improvements: PTL Ministry, Amusement Park, Raymond James Stadium, NFL Stadium: Terradyne, Golf Clubhouse, Hotel and 3 story Office Complex: Thunderdome, Multi-purpose Venue: The Project Experiences for the above projects ranged from Architectural Programming; Value Engineering; Project Management; Design Consultation; Site Analysis; Pre-Design (Conceptual Concepts) and Construction Document drawing.
