Communication. 

Included in this process is a weekly status brief complete with photographs and comments regarding the progress of the project and any critical path decisions that need to be made. For some projects, the owner prefers a status brief as it drills down to only those issues that are of immediate concern to him or require his direct input and provides a snap shot of where the project is at the time.

Team Building.

Starting in pre-construction, we assign accountabilities for all aspects of the project and control the agenda in our weekly construction meetings and the keeping of construction meeting minutes. We have a weekly construction meeting via conference call with the architect, general contractor and any relevant consultants that have something to present to the team.

Oversight.

We review the construction progress, check on the quality of the work and brainstorm with the team on identifying critical path decisions and scheduling constraints. In addition to our visits, we often hire a local assistant project manager to visit the job site a couple of times a week, take photos and report on the progress relative to the construction schedule. 

Administration.

We solicit and review all estimates, proposals, contracts and agreements. We review all hard and soft invoices for approval. We maintain all-inclusive budgets and construction schedules. At the conclusion of the project, we will provide punch list coordination and review all closeout documents to complete the project.
