Construction Management is a quality control tool for enhancing the delivery of the construction process. With Construction Management, there is no General Contractor, but there are multiple Prime Contractors, each being separately contracted with, and separately bonded. Thus, bonding requirements are satisfied 100%, by allowing each of the prime contractors to fully bond their portion of the work. Quality is actually enhanced for the owner, because the construction manager acts solely as his agent, with no direct contractual relationships to the various prime contractors, thus allowing the construction manager a totally independent role in overseeing and coordinating the work.

Through our recent construction management experience, constructions cost savings have ranged from 3% to 21%. Louis & Henry Construction Management services begin with the design development of the project and continue through the final completion of construction. The following services are provided:

Direct interaction with the Architects during the schematic, design development and the construction documents.

• Prepare preliminary and final estimates to provide complete cost analysis of the project.
• Preparing Bid Packages and soliciting several contractors for competitive bidding of each package of the project. A breakdown of bid packages and proposals received on two recent projects is attached.
• Administration of the bid process and review and recommendation for award of contracts.
• Review of plans and specifications through local agencies and acquisition of Building Permit.
• Project Management through the duration of the construction phase including on-site supervision, and contract administration.
• Prepare, monitor and control Construction Schedule and monitor and control construction costs throughout the entire project.
