Construction Management

It’s no secret that proper scheduling can help minimize delays and cost overruns. The secret is in developing schedules that actually work. We’ve thoroughly understand how to effectively phase work with considerations for resources required to complete individual tasks.

Constant and focused management of project cost is the best way to stay on budget. We are diligent and thorough, providing progress payment and change order review throughout the project. Progress payment oversight includes the initial review of the contractor’s estimates of completion and reimbursement claims for stored materials. Management of change orders includes assisting in timely processing and verification of costs of requested changes.

Site observations promote accountability and accuracy throughout a project. Our site observation services are flexible and adaptable, depending on the specifics of a project. We can provide periodic site observation to verify the work and material are being installed in general accordance with plans and specifications. For larger-scale projects, we can provide full-time site observation, placing a qualified owner’s representative on site for the duration of the project.

Memories of details fade, so it’s important to keep meticulous records. Our document control personnel record, monitor and distribute all project-related information. This gives us a chronological history of all activities during every phase, serves as an important resource during construction, and provides an essential legal resource if ever needed.

Guernsey can review project submittals from general compliance to plans and specifications developed by the designer of record. We also log submittals and develop the submittal log for tracking purposes.

If you want the job done right, put the right people on the job. We can not only help you find them, we can provide them. For projects of all sizes and markets, we have highly qualified personnel ready to take on every type of role. That means everything from quality assurance/quality control for all disciplines to schedulers and document controllers, should unauthorized deviation from plans and specifications become an issue.

Our team can be your eyes and ears, identifying quality problems, recommending or providing solutions, verifying implementations, and limiting progress or continuation of a condition until proper disposition of the identified variance has occurred. All monitoring is coordinated with the approval of the client, owner and principal-in-charge.
