CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION SERVICES

  • Computer monitor displaying a 3D model of a steel framework structure in an office setting.

    Bidding

    Most projects are awarded through negotiated contracts and do not require a competitive bidding process.

    If bidding is preferred, our services include:

    ·       Soliciting bids from a minimum of three (3) General Contractors and facilitating bid comparisons,

    ·       Preparing bid analysis reports as needed,

    ·       Offering recommendations for contractor selection; however, the final decision regarding the General Contractor is reserved for the Client.

    Any Requests for Information received during the bidding phase, including clarification or modification of Construction Documents (addenda), may incur additional fees.

  • Construction workers assembling a wooden framework at a building site with a forested hillside in the background.

    Requests for Information (RFI)

    All Requests for Information (RFIs) must be submitted electronically by email or via HERE.

    Clients should appoint authorized representatives to submit RFIs, as hourly charges may apply without prior approval.

    We only respond to RFI emails from the Client, General Contractor, or authorized representatives.

    Requests from tradesmen or verbal inquiries are not accepted.

  • Close-up of a technical drawing or blueprint with a wooden pencil and a metal ruler on top, showing measurements and annotations.

  • A smartphone with a sticky note that says 'Sign Here' attached to it, resting on newspapers and a black surface.

    Estimating

    Any Estimating Services will be contracted with an Outside Estimating Service.

    Market fluctuations make project costs hard to predict from design through permit management.

    Clients should engage an Estimating Service, Construction Manager, or General Contractor early in schematic design or construction documentation for budget support.

    Revisions to reduce project costs after construction documents are complete will be billed hourly unless a lump sum fee is arranged beforehand.

    Site visits for inquiries and progress evaluations may be scheduled on a weekly, monthly, or as-needed basis to ensure adherence to Contract Documents.

    Note: To avoid delays, please be aware that a fee may be applicable without prior approval. We advise that requests be made exclusively by the Client or an Authorized Representative.
