Construction Management
CONSTRUCTION MONITORING
On-site visits to the project occur on an agreed basis during the construction phase of the project. On-site reviews typically consist of:
- Review of the final design for general compliance with contracts
- Review of the progress of the design for compliance with the scheduled milestones
- Review of proposed work plans and quality-control procedures
- Observation of work in progress to determine whether the project is proceeding in accordance with the milestone schedule and design
- Consultations with the owner and contractor in advance for major inspections or important work phases
- Creation of progress reports including budget & schedule variances, and photos
