GATEWAY PARK CENTER 19-01-01 TGSV Enterprises, Inc. Page 2 2. Strategy for Reviewing Budget/Cost: Our strategy for performing our cost/scope review is to approach all aspects of the project from conceptual design through closeout. This forward thinking enables us to identify costs/scope items that may be encountered in different phases of the project. We breakdown our review into a three phase program: Pre-Construction Phase; Construction Phase; and Post-Construction Phase. • Pre-Construction Phase Review: During this phase we will work hand in hand with the Design Team and Trade Contractors to ensure that the Owners budget/design requirements and Value Engineering / Sustainability Analysis’ are incorporated into the project. We will perform budgets and hard estimates, both in house and with the assistance of specialized trade contractors, throughout the pre-construction process, to ensure the Owners budgets are maintained. We will properly vet all trade contractors through references, past experience with TGSV and their financial stability (capability to Bond) to ensure they are able to complete the project as designed. We will work with the Design Team to coordinate phasing / staging requirements to ensure that any costs for logistical issues / construction efficiency are included in the documents. We will provide budgeting programs at the schematic, 30%, 60% and 90% stage of the design documents. • Construction Phase Review: During this phase TGSV will review the documents from a constructability aspect. We will use our Superintendents and Trade Contractors to ensure that not only is the design and phasing cost efficient, but also work efficient. We will create a detailed Construction Critical Path schedule to ensure that the Phasing of projects can be reviewed with the Owners facilities operations staff and with the trade contractors. This will help eliminate any conflicts with the facilities operations before they occur. We will also, in team with design Consultants and our Trade Contractors, work on creating a Building Information Model (BIM) review for the MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, Fire Alarm, Fire Protection, Etc.) services entailed in the project to identify any potential conflicts can be identified ahead of time. During this phase of review TGSV will conduct an in house AHCA, ICRA, Code Compliance and ADA review with the design consultants prior to submission for AHCA Review and Permitting. • Post Construction Phase Review: It is our goal throughout the cost/scope review phase to limit the items that may come up post construction. During this phase TGSV will review the project from a turnover aspect. We will ensure that warranties, guarantees, training and system maintenance programs are properly identified in the contract documents. We will also coordinate with the maintenance departments to ensure that we incorporate their requirements / concerns into the contract documents, allowing for a smooth turnover. This phase is greatly benefited by the BIM exercise performed as many of the maintenance alerts and requirements can be incorporated into the final BIM As-Built’s and BMS system. This provides an automated (computerized) alert to the maintenance department of what equipment
