Project management services at the construction phase

Regarding the construction phase, a general contractor is appointed by the owner and our team can invite a number of well-known general contractors to participate in a tender and give offers in order to undertake the whole project. There are construction companies which can execute all the construction work and deliver a completed project. In this case one contract (owner – contractor) will be prepared and signed.

In that case we can provide Project management services (daily presence of engineers on site or site visits and reporting). It depends on the size of the project and the type of services requested by the owner. Our team can recommend ways to incorporate safety incentives into the construction contract in order to increase general contractor's attention to project safety.Our team can review general contractor's safety program to verify that it fully responds to safety regulations and contains provisions for the immediate detection and rectification of safety violations.

Advantages:

  • The general contractor will undertake most of the risks
  • The general contractor has expertise in similar projects, has relations with authorities, can communicate with stakeholders, and can provide guaranties and financial facilitation if it is necessary.
  • The general contractor will coordinate the work between the construction crews and therefore assume all responsibility associated with the works.
  • Reduced Project Management costs as all coordination is performed by the general contractor.

Disadvantages:

  • Increased final construction cost (the contractor's offer will incorporate full mark-up due to the increased risk)
  • Increased potential claims and increased negotiation power by the contractor
  • Financial problems of the general contractor or any dispute whatsoever may affect the project time-schedule
Construction management services at the construction phase

Construction management services at the construction phase

Construction management services, including the separation the scope of works (in architectural, MEP or ID works or other specialties) and appointment of more than one sub-contractors (by specialty). Based on our experience, we have a list with well-known subcontractors who can be employed and be coordinated by our team. In this case separate contracts with subcontractors will be prepared and signed. Our team will coordinate the execution of the project by the subcontractors.

Advantages:

  • The final construction cost will be reduced as each of the contractors will not incorporate full contract mark-ups.
  • Financial problems of some of the subcontractors will not affect the project as there will be on site alternative solution (award works to on-site competitors).

Disadvantages:

  • The Owner will undertake the risks associated with potential coordination issues among the specialty general contractors.
  • Potential coordination issues
  • The Construction management services cost's will be slightly higher compare to the Project management costs as daily enhanced presence of our team will be required to coordinate the works among the specialty general contractors.
