Key points

Client Satisfaction – keep the client happy

Communication – communicate with all parties on a daily basis as needed

Leadership – you’re the leader of your job, “Lead it”

1. Leadership : Provide positive site leadership for the project for all parties involved including: subcontractors, tenants, property managers, consultants, architects, etc. It’s your project “Lead it”.

2. Teamwork: Our primary goals are to make the client happy, do high quality work, complete the project ahead of schedule and try our best to complete the projects under budget. Align your interest and actions with the team.

3. Quality Assurance : Make sure all work is done right, good enough for your mother and our client. All work must be completed per the plans, specs, matrixes, city codes, etc. There should be no deviation from the plans / specs unless instructed or approved to do so. All materials used in our work should be submitted and approved by the owner/architect prior to ordering or installing anything.

4. Budgets: Project budgets are developed before the projects begin. If there are any issues, they should be raised to your Senior PM (SPM) and/or Project Executive (PE) immediately. SPM’s or PE’s update the budget variances throughout the project. This variance information should not be released to the client unless prior approval is given by your PE.

5. City Inspections: Order and coordinate all city inspections. Try to develop good relationships with your local city inspectors. We should have correction notices only once, if at all, for construction items. We do not want to have multiple issues with the same types of items. Make sure our subs are aware of this expectation.

6. Monthly Draws : PMs are expected to review and approve subcontractor’s monthly billing invoices. Once they are reviewed, they should be submitted to the Project Coordinator (PC). All billings and draw paperwork should be reviewed with the PM, PC, SPM and/or PE on a conference call each month prior to submitting the draw package to the owner. PMs are expected to have the site clean and ready for the draw meetings each month. Notice should be given to the property management to gain access to all units or areas of the project being billed for that billing period so the units can be inspected as needed at the draw meetings. For example, if we are billing for roofing work, there should be access to all of these areas at the draw meeting.

7. Punch lists and Close out : All units and buildings should be punched immediately upon completion of the work. Do not wait until the end of the project. All work should be walked and punched by the company before the owner / architect walks them. Make sure the units are ready to be turned over and completely back punched prior to the tenant moving back in. We do not want to go back into a unit once a tenant has moved back in. Once the punch list has been signed off by the owner rep / property manager, please scan the punch list onto the server and save under the close out and completion folder. All units and building should have a completed punch list saved on the server at the end of the project (please see the sample punch list forms under the close out and completion section).

8. Daily Items:

Daily Reports: These should take 15 minutes each day once you lean how to properly do it. Use the same form every day and just change as needed. Please make these as detailed as possible and include pictures each day reflecting the work completed that day.
