MOREEstimating Complicated and Challenging Projects - Complicated and Challenging Part 1
While putting together project takeoffs provides the material cost for a project estimate, taking the extra time to really understand the specific labor requirements, project supervision requirements, and the physical environment of the project are all factors that require extra time, experience, and often collaboration to be properly estimated.
MOREYou should properly prepare jobsites prior to projects.
Before starting a commercial reroofing or other building envelope maintenance project, it is important to properly prepare the jobsite. This includes removing obstacles and debris, making efforts to protect surrounding property, establishing work area boundaries, and installing appropriate signage. A well-prepared jobsite creates a safe and efficient work environment, will help minimize disruptions during the job, and will help ensure successful project completion.
MOREThe Importance of Pacing Your Work
Each stage of any large construction project involves many steps. Properly executing the steps within each stage at a safe and deliberate pace and performing them in a specific order is critical to the long-term success of that project. While it certainly takes experience to perform all of the steps in each of these stages properly, the more important factor to understand for building owners is that each of the steps within each stage takes time to perform safely and correctly.
MOREHow No-bidding New Construction Pays Off
Owners, architects, and consultants deserve a more-than-fair return on their large investment of time and money on new construction projects. That’s why no-bidding commercial construction projects for general contractors that have a reputation for assigning young Project Managers can be your best defense against the headaches that young PMs mostly create for the contractors who do win the bids for this work.
MOREWhy Selective Bidding Pays Off.
Establishing a set of criteria to evaluate construction bidding opportunities will lead to matching the best contractor with the best projects. And this process will lead to the long-term success of the contractor and positive project outcomes for the building owner.
