Project Control

PCM Construction carefully orchestrates the work of the trade contractors and material suppliers. PCM coordinates and communicates with the architect and engineers to complete the project in accordance with the owner's cost, time and quality objectives. A full-time staff is maintained at the project site to coordinate and provide comprehensive direction to trade contractors. Progress meetings are scheduled and conducted at which the trade contractors, owner, architect/engineer, construction manager and superintendent discuss procedures, progress, problems and scheduling. The construction schedule is monitored regularly as the project progresses. Potential variances between scheduled and probable completion dates are verified. Incomplete work or work not started is reviewed and trade contractors are contacted about schedule changes needed to meet the completion date. The adequacy of the trade contractor's personnel and equipment and the availability of materials and supplies to meet the schedule are determined. Courses of action are anticipated, developed and implemented when requirements of a trade contract are not being met.

Cost Control

The project construction budget is revised and refined, incorporating approved changes as they occur, and cash flow reports and forecasts are developed as needed. Complete accounting records are maintained on work performed under the agreement.

Inspection

The project superintendent inspects the work of all trade contractors continually throughout the project for defects and deficiencies.

PCM will recommend corrective action and enforce compliance with the construction documents.
