CES understands that as Construction Managers, we are the owner's representative in the field and should act as an extension of your staff and strive for our client's best interests. As Construction Managers, first, we look at a project from our client's eyes forming a clear picture of their particular vision and expectations. We develop an understanding of their business, mission, budget goals, schedule and decision-making processes. Finally, knowing our client allows us to think outside of the box, we offer creative solutions to design and construction challenges. CES approaches Owner/Client coordination and communication by understanding that every project has a number of stakeholders with different needs and opinions regarding the purpose of the project and the means to accomplish it. This means frequent meeting with interested parties, and continual contact bye-mail, telephone and periodic reports as information develops. Our Management Techniques Include: · Manage the uncertainty of the early stages of a project or task assignment by meeting with the Owner early on order to better understand the scope of work. This will be done by kick-off meetings, pre-construction meetings and/or brainstorming sessions with all stakeholders. · At all time, maintain one single point of contact to streamline communication amongst team members, contractors and staff. · Document Control and Management of staff productivity by systematically following guidelines and procedures for the inspection team, that take into account constructability issues, financial, legal and technical constraints. · Ensure optimization of the design solution chosen by participating in the Value Engineering and Life Cycle costing studies as needed. · Manage the construction activities of the project by implementing a very tight QA/QC strategy. · Manage changes during construction to minimize budget impacts to the project. All the necessary steps will be taken in order to avoid late changes that usually have a potential to disrupt a project's schedule and budget.
