Construction Management Assistance
Private owners may not have all of the technical capabilities to manage the various phases of their own projects. Construction projects necessarily involve a myriad of professionals, users, owners and contractors, each involved for profit at some phase of completion. An Atlas Project Support consultant can organize these parties as an independent representative of the client to insure that his best interests are served and that maximum profitability is achieved.
As your representative we can:
- Coordinate activity undertaken by owners, design professionals and contractors
- Schedule meetings between the aforementioned people to discuss progress
- Issue regular progress reports
- Perform on-site inspections
- Coordinate commissioning prior to startup to insure smooth operation
- Perform Energy Efficiency Title 24 Compliance Analysis providing Residential and Nonresidential plan checkers, field inspectors and energy consultants for the California Energy Standards
Project Planning, Scheduling, & Controls
Atlas Project Support has handled or assisted in the planning, scheduling activities and project controls for a wide variety of construction projects. Our involvement can commence from the early stages of design through completion or start up. The degree of responsibility assumed by us reduces the risk of error that results from mismanagement of time, cost and manpower. Some devices utilized by Atlas Project Support to insure that you are kept informed and the project flows smoothly are:
- Regularly scheduled progress reports using a CPM or Gant Chart method created using computer applications such as P6 Primavera and Microsoft Project.
- Scheduling for phase completions
- Corrective action development
- Development of basic bar charts and flow curves for productivity
