Pre-construction management services cover a broad spectrum of project requirements, beginning at the conceptual stage and finishing with the hand-over of the site with a full set of construction documents ready for the construction team, properly prepared for the selected delivery method. These services may include the following:
Constructability Reviews and Value Engineering
JGMC provides constructability review services as required to meet the client’s needs. We perform this review at project inception, during design or at the end of the 100 percent construction document phase. JGMC has a systematic approach to ensure a comprehensive review of plans and specifications. Our team reviews for: that all construction specification sectional elements are included per the program requirements; consistency between plans and specifications; complete structural designs incorporating all systems, and mechanical and electrical elements; verification that all details are referenced correctly, and occur on the plans; consistency between contract documents and site conditions; coordination between the building systems; completeness of contract documents and readiness for release to bid; completeness and enforceability of general and supplement conditions; and identification of findings and recommended solutions for these findings. Most importantly, JGMC will work with the design team to minimize redesign impacts.
Each item during the constructability and value engineering process is recorded by specification section, and is carried on the report until the issue is closed, as agreed by the design team and the client. Signed initials provide proof of approval.
