Construction Management
Construction Management is the management of the bid and award process, the actual construction, and ultimately the close-out of a single project. Pierson's construction management services may include: schedule control, optimizing strategies for procurement and phasing, construction marketing to bidders to ensure competitive prices, cost control, quality control, closeout and document turnover, turnover to owner, post-turnover evaluation.
project management
Project Management is the professional
management of a single project from
the planning/design phase through
construction and closeout. Project
management services may include:
project definition,
developing a realistic and complete budget, schedule of planning and design phase management,
management of information systems,
schedule and quality control review of documents for
coordination and constructability. filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler. filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler.
scheduling
Construction schedules should be
realistic and should reflect the actual
sequence of work; actual progress
should be compared to the baseline
schedule on a regular basis. Critical path analysis can help avoid delays and make up lost time if necessary. Three basic components of any project: quality, cost and time must
be in balance and consistent with the
owner’s goals in order for the project
to be successful. Once the basic
goals of the project are established,
scheduling is the means for managing the time component of the project.filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler.
cost estimating
The cost component of a project is the
cost visible, if not the most important
aspect of a construction program. For a credible and successful project, budget compliance is a basic necessity. Pierson’s estimating group works closely with the design team to develop complete, accurate budgets. Since any
established budget is a meaningless number if it is not accompanied by a
project scope definition, it is our specific
responsibility to identify the project scope upon which the budget is based. On a regular basis, Pierson updates the status of the project budget and provides the owner with a monthly updated cash flow report.
constructability
Constructability reviews are a key to trouble-free projects. Pierson pproaches the Constructability review as a structured review of the plans and specifications. The focus is on the buildability, bidability and efficiency of construction. Our reviews bring to light
problems in the following areas: reasonableness of work sequence, completeness of construction documents, coordination of the documents among the various engineering disciplines, adequacy of lead time for material and equipment procurement, site restrictions and adequacy of access. We have found that significant cost savings and eductions in change order rates can be accomplished through properly conducted Constructability reviews.
value engineering
Value engineering analysis is divided into four phases: information exploration, analysis, planning and implementation. The information phase defines who the owner/users are and their needs and wants. The exploration phase is pursued to generate as many ideas as possible utilizing a brainstorming approach. These ideas are then evaluated and ranked for feasibility based upon project criteria. The last phases, planning and implementation,
take the best ideas and provide an in-depth review for evaluation by the decision makers for final selection. filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler. filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler.filler filler filler filler filler filler filler
project review
A project review is sometimes conducted to determine the causes of cost or time overruns, excessive change orders or contractor claims, or other issues which lead to unsatisfactory
results in construction projects. This information may also prove helpful in structuring future projects from the outset.filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler. filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler.filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler fillerfiller filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler. filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler.filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler fillerfiller.filler filler filler filler f
