Preconstruction Services
Often, as part of long range planning, a client requires only
the design, budgeting and scheduling portion of RightTrack™.
R.C. Stevens provides Preconstruction Services that include
RFP preparation necessary for the selection of the design
team, and the overall coordination of the design effort. This
consists of program validation, schematic/design development/construction
documents, cost control during design, design phase scheduling,
and design phase quality control. Our Team Integration meeting
sets the foundation for this process. Using the Division of
Responsibility Checklist, team member commitments and responsibilities
are documented and tracked throughout the Preconstruction
Phase. Key milestones will be identified, including all design
phases, budget estimate delivery dates, document submission
and review dates. Constructability Review is a critical part
of this process. We utilize a comprehensive checklist to vary
the thoroughness of the documents at each phase of design.
Using an initial Economic Model, the project budget is tracked
through each design phase, with comparison reports to track
cost changes affected by design decisions. Value Management
tools, such as Life Cycle Cost Analysis are also used to support
cost control. Regularly scheduled team meetings are tracked
using meeting minutes that serve as agendas for subsequent
meetings. Outstanding issues are tracked using a Request for
Information Log. |
