Construction Administration
Once we have assembled and completed all necessary site and project documentation, final drawings have been approved, and prime contractors have been contracted for a project, the work begins. Pre-construction documentation ensures a seamless onsite workflow, reducing change orders, avoiding liabilities, and ensuring that each phase of the project is completed within its timeline and on budget. Paris Projects provides in-depth leadership and project direction by overseeing each and every phase of the construction process from start to closeout, including:
- Conducting pre-construction meetings with design consultants and contractors to reaffirm contract scope and schedule requirements
- Establishing procedures for addressing and resolving contractors “Request for Information”
- Establishing shop drawing and submittal procedures, logs, and schedules
- Monthly on-site coordination meetings with all involved parties, including progress photos, schedule updates, and action-item status reports
- Coordinating consultant reviews of all pricing proposals
- Review and processing of monthly AIA applications for payments
- Monitoring of design consultants’ responses to RFI’s, ASI’s and proposal requests
- Ensuring owner’s testing lab is providing specified and required testing during construction
- Initiating public utility primary design and installation schedules coordinated with the project schedule
- Project documentation and turnover
- Day- to-Day communications and directives with project team
- Tenant/user interface relative to project completion and turnover
Paris Projects completes most major site work projects with 3-5% change orders, versus an engineer’s typical contingency estimate recommendation of 20%.
