When some businesses want to refresh their work environment so that it is more modern, ergonomic, employee-friendly, customer-centric, productive and efficient, they can focus their efforts (or more typically, direct the efforts of their interior solutions partner) on making key changes that make a big difference, but do not require any fundamental construction or reconstruction.
However, in other cases, it is either desirable or simply necessary to invent or re-invent a space by making fundamental design changes – and that is where office construction management enters the picture, and why it is an essential part of office design.
Essentially, office construction management is a professional service that uses proven, specialized techniques, approaches and strategies to oversee all aspects of a construction project from beginning to end. These interrelated and integrated tasks include (but are not limited to):
- Identifying, specifying and developing project objectives and plans
- Providing all project management, including assigning a dedicated project manager (or multiple project managers if required)
- Providing all aspects of site management
- Using value engineering to reduce costs while maintaining quality and scope
- Providing budget development, management and control
- Providing schedule development, management and control
- Providing cash flow forecasting and control
- Managing and supervising all sub-contractors, consultants, trades and architects
- Obtaining all required permits
- Assessing all bids and making recommendations
- Preparing and management payment schedules
- Providing cost control oversight
- Maximizing resource efficiency
- Asset sourcing (e.g. office furniture, FFE, lighting, wall coverings, etc.)
- Overseeing security and IT management
- Providing regular updates and reporting throughout the project (e.g. daily updates, weekly reports, etc.).
- Resolving disagreements or disputes with suppliers, vendors, trades, etc.
- Providing quality control and assurance
- Coordinating site inspections by local building inspectors
- Providing risk analysis, management and mitigation
- Managing all aspects of project closeout, including ensuring all sub-contractor commitments are fulfilled
