2. Preface
The continuous evolution of the process for
the design and procurement of construction
emphasizes the need for a distinct and
independent professional discipline with
expertise to provide constructive cost
containment and project management
measures during the design and
construction of building projects. In
responding to the demands of modern
design and the requirements of building
Owners, this profession has a primary goal
of assisting the design team and the Owner
in implementing cost control, project
strategy and management techniques
respecting the Architect’s design
objectives, and the Owner’s functional
requirements. The current trend in diverse
contracting procedures and project
management
techniques presents the building Owner
with an array of choices and inherently
difficult decisions in the early stages of the
development of a project. The Owner is
confronted with early choices in which
various obscure conceptual implications
may later produce problems during
construction if not identified and addressed
at an early stage. Time delays, cost
overruns and expensive litigation can be
the unfortunate result of any misstep. The
need is clear for an independent
professional who, from the strength of
prior experience, can help to circumvent
these problems by representing the
Owner’s interests and advising on the
advantages and disadvantages of all the
available options.

issues associated with your project,
based upon our experience on
many previous projects. Our advice
helps you achieve your requirements
within the constraints of your
budget.
The planning and construction of
any major project is comprised of
a complicated series of interwoven
events and, at any step along the
way, there is the potential for
problems. As the Owner or
responsible party, you may have to
deal with situations such as budget
problems, schedule slippage,
material shortages, adverse bidding
conditions, labor difficulties and
contractor claims, to name but a few.
The continuous and constructive cost
planning, estimating, value engineering
and project management services which
we provide help you to address these
issues.
Our broad range of construction
management experience can help you to
decide where to spend your money
within the various building elements. We
provide you with alternatives and options
to optimize your projects budget and
schedule.
We can save you money and time by
alerting you to your options and by
helping manage the cost and schedule of
your project. You have the opportunity
to avoid potentially expensive problems
before they are literally “set in stone”.
High quality, High tech,
High rise projects.
We can advise you on the
anticipated cost of each
space and each floor in
your building.
We can advise you on the
construction economics of
comparable schedules,
building configurations,
number and sizes of floors,
choice of finishes and
quality levels and relative
costs of alternative structural,
architectural, mechanical and
electrical systems.

Project Management And
Bid Evaluations
We offer a wide range of management
services. These include gaining an in-
depth understanding of your ultimate
goals and the development of a plan
for achieving those goals through
selection of contract type, contractor
selection criteria and bidding format.
We will also assist you in the
informed comparative evaluation of
bids leading to recommendations for
the award of the construction
contract.
Construction Scheduling
We can provide construction and design
phase scheduling and reporting services
which include network analysis of the
construction and design activities for your
project. We can use the network to assess
project time and critical path activities, to
estimate manpower and cash flow
requirements, to report actual site progress
and for advance procurement of materials.
This process gives you your own unbiased
monthly record of construction progress and
the means to identify potential problems
before they occur and before you would
otherwise be apprised of them by the
Contractor. This information can also be
used to combat subsequent claims. Many
contractor claims are resolved in favor of
the Contractor due, in large measure, to the
absence of factual information and record
keeping by the Owner during the
construction process.

Must the design fit the budget,
or can the budget follow the
design? In either case, you want
maximum value for your money.
Cost and Schedule Monitoring
And Auditing
We provide regular reports and
recommendations relating to
construction progress; cost
monitoring to make certain that
the established budgets are adhered
to or consciously adjusted to accom-
modate approved changes; and cost
auditing for monthly progress
payment evaluation and forecasting
to ensure that your expenditures
are appropriate.
Special Investigations
Our general consulting services
include special investigations for
building Owners or funding insti-
tutions. They include analysis of
contracts, fire insurance estimates
and fire loss assessments.
Construction Administration
We can provide the day to day
construction administration required
to ensure your project stays on
budget and on schedule. This
includes activities such as change
order administration, RFI
administration, schedule review,
budget review, daily project
oversight, the chairing of progress
meetings, shop drawings
administration, and general problem
solving, to name but a few of the
items needed to ensure a successful
project.
Negotiations And
Technical Assistance
We can assist you in final settlement
with contractors and evaluation and
negotiation of contractor claims. If
required, we can also serve as an
expert witness in litigation
proceedings and provide technical
assistance to your legal experts in
contract disputes.

7. Energy – The Turkey Point Nuclear Power Plant
We have expertise in working on the nuclear power plant on
Turkey Point on the Southern tip of Florida. We were involved
with CPM schedule control and cost monitoring during outage
fuel rod replacement conditions. These are some of the most
critical scheduling exercises in the industry.
Turkey Point contains two 1,240 mega-watt nuclear units and two
conventional coal burning units.

8. A major dilemma in which Owners and
their Architects find themselves with
great frequency, and which we can help
to avoid, can be best illustrated by the
following scenario:
There is an approved design with its
attendant lapse of time and expenditure
of fees. When bids are received, they
exceed the budgeted costs and the
project cannot proceed until reductions
are made to the project’s scope and cost.
The Architect must redesign and the
scheduled opening of the facility will be
delayed, time that can never be
recovered, with consequent loss of
income and/or use. The momentum and
credibility of the project are lessened.
The design team’s position is made even
more difficult because everyone liked
the original design; the Owner approved
it. Now the designers must compromise
that design, often at their own cost.
It is rarely possible to alter the major
design components where most of the
money could be saved, such as changing
the basic shape or structure. So, in the
time available, there must be superficial
alterations in design.
Such emergency type design changes
usually rob the project of many of the
features which gave it its desired
character in its original form. The result
is a clinical and not necessarily
satisfactory compromise.
The compromise of redesign, delays in
delivery dates and the negative impact
resulting from the lack of early
planning can cause significant difficulties
for all concerned. We believe our
services will help avoid these problems.

The irritation of compromised

would have been forgotten.
Master Plan Evaluation And
Research Studies
We offer early master plan evaluation for
developments for evaluating the financial
feasibility of a project, including cash flow
projections. We conduct research studies into
the cost significance of differing methods of
construction, alternative materials and
products, equipment utilization, labor-saving
techniques, local costs and building customs
and alternative design solutions.
Cost Planning And Estimating
From the earliest stages of design and as you
move through the design process, we will
provide you with cost planning and estimates
for every aspect of your project at strategic
points in the design phase. Our budgetary
advice may encourage alternative design
solutions by the Architect and Engineers.
Our estimates are a constructive,
integrated part of the design process,
not after-the-fact or retrospective. We
work with you to help prevent the
many hours of wasted design time
which occur when subsequent bids
exceed the budget due to a lack of cost
planning.
Leading Edge Technology
We utilize the latest technology in the
production and delivery of our product.
This technology includes computerized
systems, digitizers and plotters with
custom software for preparation of our
estimates, reports, and schedules.

Paul R. Smith
President
Many of your most serious and
irrevocable decisions are made at a
time when you have the least
amount of information.
Therefore, it is essential to apply
impartial expertise to identify the
cost and contractual impact of these
decisions at the earliest possible
time in project planning.

Architects develop management strategies to
help ensure the success of their projects.
