3 Uncompromised Approach to Safety and Phasing
6 Continuous Risk Management to Minimize Owner Liability • Continuous focus on compliance with phasing and work scope. • Proactive prompts on submittals, reviews and timely delivery. • Web-Based Project Management Software • Site Utilization and security planning • Organized Commissioning and Turnover process. • Third party: -Construction Testing -Testing and Balancing -Commissioning and Verification 4 Relentless Focus on Budget and Best Value • DEI uses a continuous Value Engineering (VE) process to help reduce cost and increase function. We focus on project goals to guide decisions throughout the construction process. • We vigorously pursue the resolution of cost events and their impacts and seeks alternate solutions. • The Township will continuously be apprised of construction and overall project budget status.
• Safety on a construction site is important, there is no compromise on this. • We begin the project with the end in mind to ensure Owner’s goals are achieved! • The phasing and
milestone plan will be implemented from day one. 5 Diligent Concentration on Schedule and Milestones • DEI’s first step after being hired will be to create a detailed design phase schedule including permitting and approval timelines. • A construction schedule will also be created and integrated into the contract documents with important milestones. • The purpose of all schedules will be to keep everyone accountable, the design team, the contractors and even you, the owner to ensure the project is completed on time and all criteria are met!
