Quality Control Plan
The construction management process implements a dual inspection process to ensure the quality of all construction throughout the building process. The initial responsibility of quality control is undertaken by the construction entity to assure the proper materials and methods are used by the subcontractors or suppliers. The construction management staff reviews submittals to assure compliance and the project superintendent will then verify the submittal is complied with and the installation is proper. The design entity representative will then provide verification of all materials and the installation through submittal review and onsite inspection of all phases of the construction. Quality control is thoroughly documented through the submittal logs, daily construction logs, and design entity reports. Weekly project meetings are also be held for review of any documents or issues.
Cost and Schedule Control
Creative Builds fully understands the special importance of meeting cost and time requirements on our projects. Our reputation for keeping costs within budget and minimizing change orders depicts our ability to manage costs. We know construction costs and how to control them through constant review.
Value Engineering Process
Daily involvement in the construction industry as a construction manager provides an in-depth knowledge of the products used and costs associated. This allows the construction manager to evaluate their first time cost versus useful life. The knowledge gained from this experience can be utilized prior to construction, determining products with lower first-time costs which will not significantly affect project aesthetics and intended use. These cost saving measures can thus be implemented without affecting appearance, function or useful life.
Planning Throughout
Planning throughout the project is premised by the fact that building construction is a dynamic, ever-changing business. We provide our construction management services with the knowledge that quick reaction to unforeseen changes is of the utmost importance. Our intermediary relationship allows us to receive information quickly from all sources and make decisions as to the best alternatives or course of action. We can then review them immediately with the staff and critical groups involved.
Commitment
We recognize and are committed to the standards of excellence you strive to maintain by ensuring complete satisfaction in your building project through financial integrity and project expertise.
