Project Design

Once a design team has been agreed upon and assembled, the owner needs to coordinate and manage the project's design phases. Design management requires the oversight of schedules and budgets; review of key submissions and deliverables for compliance with program goals and design objectives; verification of construction phase functional testing requirements; and appropriate application of the owner's design standards and criteria.

Construction Management

This stage should include all of the components involved with construction and documentation for the project. The team members involved in this phase are responsible for Requests for Information (RFIs), change order management, conflict resolution, inspections, submittal reviews, adhering to schedules and coordinating timely payments. Oversight in this area is critical because it has significant impact on a project's total cost.

Site Evaluation

As part of any mechanical system assessment, work of other trades is almost always impacted. How are the existing systems and equipment to be removed, how will the new equipment be set into place, and what impact will this have on the architecture, electrical and structural systems within the building? Is there adequate service clearance for the new equipment in the proposed location, or should a new location be identified that may simplify the installation and its associated costs? An in-depth assessment also confirms whether the systems and equipment currently in place are still applicable and appropriate — assessing existing site conditions, observing mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) construction, and assuring HVAC, plumbing and electrical system operation and performance.

Schedule

Comprehensive project schedules identify all of the project's stages, phases and activities assigned to each team member, mapping them to a timeline of key dates used to keep track of work progress. Schedule management interfaces directly with scope, cost and quality optimization, and team member roles and activities must be defined, coordinated and continually monitored. It is the goal of every project manager to look for efficiencies in all of these areas as a project progresses.

Monitor & Control

Good design is derived from a complex and creative process encompassing a wide range of activities, elements and attributes. A standard for measuring building quality has been created that measures the key attributes constituting good design and produces high-performance buildings — a standard method of assessing the quality of buildings in three main areas: functionality, build quality and impact.
