What is the most productive and cost-effective approach when considering the best path forward? As we all know, careful planning, organizing, staging, and executing are important. Understanding the known knowns, the known unknowns, and the possible unknown unknowns is a crucial component of our methodology. A successfully integrated collaborative approach always works best.

- Feasibility & Constructability recommendations.
- Review and understand the project’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT).
- Understand and verify the architectural and engineering constructability elements and check for deficiencies.
- Strategic & tactical & logistical
Phase II: Project Planning

- Quality Control
- Weekly OAC meetings
- Provide regular photographic documentation of all work.
- The controlling and monitoring phase.
- Prompt submittal response.
- Focus on Construction technologies, materials science, Ways & Means, Materials & Methods, Best Practices, and Manufactures specifications.
Phase IV: Project Documentation
Commissioning
- Project close-out.
- Final project review with stakeholders (client, architects, engineers & designers).
- Provide close-out manuals, as-built plans, reports, maintenance schedules & recommendations, project history & documentation.
