CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT
The Construction Management Division
follows best professional practices based upon recognized industry standards of
management delivery. The division includes Registered and highly experienced
Project and Construction Managers, Senior Cost Managers and Schedulers,
Chartered QS’s, Civil and MEP Engineers, Architects and Landscape Architects.
Future Engineering has been providing construction management services to meet
the needs of clients interested in obtaining CM services. Similar to our agency
construction management services, Future Engineering provides
full pre-construction services to the Owner during the design phase of the
project, offering schedule, budget and constructability advice during the
project-planning phase.
In addition to providing valuable
input to the Owner during the design phase, the construction management method
offers Owners the opportunity to begin construction prior to the completion of
design. Future Engineering
can bid and subcontract portions of
the work at any time, often while design of unrelated portions are not yet
completed.
Agency construction management is a
fee-based service that provides you with an experienced and objective advocate
that acts in your best interests, guiding you through the construction project
from initial concept to final construction closeout.
At Future Engineering we
typically break a project down into four phases: design, bidding, construction
and close-out. The services provided in each phase are briefly outlined as
follows:
Design Phase:
Throughout the design of the
project, we provide the Owner with critical information and guidance to ensure
that the design matches the Owner's original intent, program and budget. Future Engineering also provides essential input regarding cost, schedule,
quality and detail of the drawings.
Bidding Phase:
Future Engineering works with the Owner and project team to determine the
correct number of bid packages for the project in order to maximize
participation and competition. Once the bidding strategy has been decided upon
we work to ensure that the prospective bidders fully understand the bid
documents and the construction schedule. We conduct the pre-bid conference with
all prospective bidders; the better the bidders understand the documents, the
more precise and often lower, their bids will be. Future Engineering also assists Owners in bid evaluation and award.
Construction Phase:
Future Engineering manages the construction process, including the work of all
the contractors, so that each follows and understands the project design and schedule.
We also manage change orders to ensure minimal cost and delay to the project.
In short, we manage every aspect of the project to assure quality construction,
timely completion and adherence to the Owner's budget.
Close-out Phase:
As construction activities wind
down, Future Engineering
remains fully focused on the
project. Our continued attention during this phase assures that the Owner
receives all materials, services, and training that is required and desired by
the Owner.
