Putting goals before roles
The success of any project depends on the selection of a construction manager that is less concerned with the roles of the team, and more concerned with the goals of the client. Our first priority with any project is to fully understand client goals so we can develop a practical, cost effective and timely course of action designed to achieve those goals.

Our projects luanch with an in-deoth pre-construction phase that helps clients define bechmarks as well as any obstacles that may arise throughout the course of the project, with the goal of eliminating any unforeseen obstacles.

An experienced estimating department outlines plans for cost control and value engineering, allowing our clients to have a bird's eye view on the project's financial status. Through our purchasing and subcontracting departments, decisions are made daily to ensure we are aligned with the best subcontractors for the project, which feeds directly into our quality control process.

For the duration of the project, quality control, value engineering, safety and communications are constantly in the forefront of every team member's mind, from the project manager to individual subcontractors. We employ the latest technology and methods to maintain smooth communications, from project launch to post-occupancy support.

03 VALUE ENGINEERING: Value engineering saves both time and cost while achieving the best possible end product. Consigli's team conducts an exhaustive survey of necessary information for the implementation of the project. This includes but is not limited to suggested materials, systems and associated life-cycle costs, confirmation of product availability, estimated lead times for materials and equipment, and other information pertinent to finalizing the contract drawings. Whenever possible, Consigli offers you alternative options for saving time and money.

04 ESTIMATING & COST CONTROL: We have a team of first-class estimators with extensive experience in the industry to draw upon. Their work is supported by Timberline Estimating Software. Consigli's cost control process is set up after your approval of the estimated project budget which is submitted in complete detail after thorough review by the entire project team. Once approved, the budget is transferred from our estimating files to our cost control files.

05 PURCHASING & SUBCONTRACTING: Subcontractors are important members of the Consigli project team often times providing the newest ideas for materials, systems and methods. We carefully pre-qualify subcontractors to meet our standards for quality and timeliness and because of our exceptional purchasing power in the construction market place, we are able to get advantageous pricing from the top tier of subcontractors.

06 QUALITY CONTROL: Starting with pre-construction services and continuing through purchasing and all other stages of construction, the Consigli office and jobsite personnel monitor the quality of a project in quantifiable terms. Shop drawings, material and equipment submittals are reviewed for conformity to the contract documents and value engineering suggestions are made if they represent an additional savings for a client in terms of money or time. Quality control is addressed as a continuing subject at weekly jobsite meetings with the various trades and emphasized in the day-to-day culture of our personnel.

07 SCHEDULING & PHASING: This is often the most difficult part of a project and one that Consigli takes great pains in getting right by thoroughly familiarizing our team with your facility operations and needs. During the pre-construction process we develop a detailed schedule and phasing plan that corresponds with our estimating efforts. We use Primavera's SureTrak software to track and update the schedule on a monthly basis. Three-week "look-aheads" are also prepared and regular coordination meetings are held to insure proper phasing.

08 FIELD SUPERVISION: The project superintendent is our leader in the field. His or her experience and knowledge is your assurance that the project will be completed on schedule and in accordance with the plans and specifications prepared by the architect. It is the superintendent's responsibility to insure effective communication and coordination throughout all aspects of the site work. This includes monitoring the project schedule, meeting manpower requirements, supervising safety practices, assessing quality of workmanship, verification of specified material, and coordination with local building officials.

09 COMMUNICATION: We make sure that the right information reaches the right people in a timely manner. Decision making matrices, lead time charts, and meeting minutes are only effective when they are communicated properly, consistently and promptly. Our field office computers are linked to the architects, engineers, and owners reps, as well as to Consigli's home office. Project documentation is available to the full team at all times.

10 POST OCCUPANCY: At the completion of construction, in coordination with the architect, we will provide you with Operations and Maintenance Manuals, in addition to as-built documentation. We will work closely with your facility management personnel to ensure they understand the operations of any systems we install, upgrade or change. Six months after completion of construction we conduct an inspection of the facility to check compliance with your intended program and operational needs. We typically warranty our work for a period of one year following substantial completion.
