<br />CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT
<br />CGA believes key elements of construction management include: contract
<br />negotiation, implementing quality control and assurance programs, contract
<br />document review, shop drawing approval, review and administration of contractor
<br />RFI’s, observation of field activity to assure construction is completed in
<br />accordance with construction documents, payment request recommendation,
<br />change order administration, environmental and NPDES monitoring, field report
<br />and documentation, as‐built record drawing preparation, and agency/permit
<br />closeout documentation and certification. As part of being a Municipal Consultant
<br />for several local governmental entities, we are constantly involved and up to date
<br />in all related agencies requirements and procedures; we have served as
<br />construction management for over $100 million dollars Capital Projects,
<br />successfully assisting in the bidding, selection of contractor, construction and final
<br />certifications, in conjunction with different design consultants and clients.
<br />ENVIRONMENTAL SPECIALTIES AND PERMITTING
<br />The diverse and in‐depth work experience of our environmental staff provides us with a critical
<br />understanding of current local and regional environmental planning and permitting issues and the historic
<br />impacts that have affected the southeast region, as well as the adaptive strategies that will be necessary to
<br />address climate change and rising sea levels. CGA’s multi‐disciplinary approach is reflected in the
<br />integrated partnership of our environmental department with the many disciplines of our firm.
<br />The integration of technical field skills, regulatory details and overall project
<br />requirements allows us to address project needs from inceptions to
<br />completion. Our environmental staff routinely coordinates details with
<br />owners, developers, design engineers, surveyors, as well as governmental
<br />agency. It is our goal to obtain reasonable, environmentally sensible
<br />solutions for our clients.
<br />LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE SERVICES
<br />The Landscape Architecture Department has a unique blend of qualified professionals that provide a
<br />variety of interests and personal expertise as an underlay to our Landscape Architectural services. They are
<br />educators, community leaders, activists, volunteers, artists, designers, sculptors and LEED Accredited
<br />Professionals. This mix of talent allows us to provide our clients with holistic, well‐rounded design
<br />solutions that, beyond considering all the functional and implementation‐related issues needed to be
<br />resolved, ensure a design product that, once built, will provide for longevity, experience, value and unique
<br />identities essential to establishing community branding. This is supported by our qualified, award‐winning
<br />staff, including Registered Landscape Architects with more 60 years of collective professional experience,
<br />and by a strong team of supporting experts.
<br />The Landscape Architecture Department has considerable
<br />talent and ability within its ranks and also has the resources
<br />of the rest of the company to provide all services – expected
<br />as well as unexpected – that may be needed during the course
<br />of any landscape architectural project. The Department has
<br />been able to successfully complete less traditional tasks,
<br />including applying for and obtaining grants to fund
<br />landscaping projects, such as two separate $50,000 grants for
<br />roadside landscaping for the City of Weston, and the City of
<br />Dania Beach’s receipt of a $50,000 grant for median
<br />landscape improvements.
