- Work schedule
- Safety protocols
- Quality
- 0Scope
- Function
A professional construction management services will effectively manage the above list for project owners. Quality construction management should offer project owners a high level of flexibility that’s adaptable to all project delivery methods. The end goal of construction management services is to provide project owners with quality on-time deliverables that register at or below the project owner’s budget.

THE DAY-TO-DAY NATURE OF PROFESSIONAL CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT

We’ve begun outlining construction management’s ability to provide comprehensive oversight on a project. Now we’re going to lay out what this oversight looks like on a day-to-day basis.

PHASE ONE OF CROSS CONSTRUCTION SERVICES’ CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT

We’ll begin by sitting down with a project owner to hear more details regarding his or her project. This initial listening phase serves two crucial functions. The first function is to adequately understand a project owner’s desired objective.

Comprehending a project owner’s planned outcome will foster proper communication with separate project-related entities down the line. The formulation of a strategic plan will soon follow this initial conversation.

The strategic plan we’re referring to is a roadmap that includes fundamental project elements like the project’s start and end dates and the project’s budget. This planning, design, and pre-construction phase allows the project’s scope and budget to come to fruition. We closely define these three elements to outline our best approach to the project.

Cross Construction Services considers the following elements while analyzing the project’s initial scope and alternatives:

  • Design
  • Space utilization
  • Structural integrity
  • Mechanical systems
  • Energy efficiency
  • A project’s design comes after the formation of a strategic plan.

PHASE TWO OF CROSS CONSTRUCTION SERVICES’ CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT

The above steps lead to the start of the actual construction process. Construction work will not begin without an agreement on project parameters like specifications and the budget. Cross Construction Services will work under the project owner and architect/engineer to coordinate all construction activities.

These specific coordination tasks include:

  • Contract administration
  • Supervision
  • Scheduling
  • Cost accounting

 

We work hard to mitigate common construction operation risks. Our construction risk mitigation strategies include:

  • Establishing expectations with ground crews
  • Properly staging construction supplies and equipment
  • Identifying potential areas that might cause future delays
  • And more
