Construction Management
At D+H, we aim to be your partner throughout the project, and beyond. We believe it’s in everyone’s interest that the collective effort is charted in detail, in order to align efforts and address any outstanding issues. We go the extra mile, emphasizing transparency, and encouraging a sense of mutual responsibility.
At D&H, scheduling is absolutely critical for a construction project, from preliminary schedules before the job begins to weekly updates for a current construction schedule. We provide schedules showing projects in a daily format in addition to a traditional construction Gantt chart. Although it takes more work to produce this kind of schedule, we find that it helps our subcontractors focus on their portion of the project. It also enables the owner to clearly understand what is happening in the construction process. We can show you sample schedules on request.
In order to maintain throughout the job the thoroughness and organization that is shown in our scheduling and bid proposals, we use a standard format for all weekly construction meeting notes. Our notes always start with the current construction schedule and then address pay requests, potential change orders, actual change orders, RFI’s, submittals, and then old and new project issues. Each item is identified by meeting and section and stays on the notes until an action is taken. We find that this systemic approach helps all parties stay on track and alerts them to any tasks that need to be accomplished to maintain the schedule. On request, we can supply a sample of meeting notes from one of our jobs.
Over the past fifteen years, D&H has developed relationships with reliable and responsive subcontractors. Many are qualified MBE/WBE enterprises. They know that we require their best performance and in turn, we always deal fairly, recognize our obligations and pay promptly.
As I have managed the Eden design and construction process, I have been working with one of the most professional construction companies I have seen in a long time.
