* ` INDIAN RIVER COUNTY RECREATION MULTI - PURPOSE BUILDING R Ptt6U « <br /> ' r"' lkCOST CONTROL <br /> PRE - CONSTRUCTION PHASE <br /> ' PPI Construction Management understands the program needs vs . <br /> JI budget. It will be extremely important that we thoroughly and accu- <br /> „ � # x , r rately control cost and schedule to ensure that the building program <br /> z is met and scope cut- backs are not necessary. <br /> IV, <br /> p 4 l � <br /> Estimates are produced throughout a project, but their purpose <br /> varies from one stage to another. At the start of a project, estimates <br /> help the client establish the budget; during design they put price <br /> tags on alternative building systems; before construction they pre- <br /> dict the fair price for a bid ; during construction they help price and <br /> negotiate change orders . <br /> Continuous cost monitoring provides immediate feedback on deci - <br /> sions that affect project cost . It also provides an accumulated run- <br /> ning total of all project costs and a tool for maintaining a priority <br /> ranking so that any proposed adjustments in scope can be viewed <br /> immediately in terms of a total priority listing . <br /> PPI utilizes our vast data base of completed projects along with <br /> err computerized systems to accurately estimate costs . Our " open <br /> book " policy, mentioned earlier, also allows the project team to eval - <br /> uate together all cost implications of the project . <br /> VALUE EN %3' iNEERIN ( <br /> PPI Construction Management's value engineering capabilities are <br /> based on our experienced estimating team , which includes heating , <br /> ventilation , air conditioning system specialists, and electrical design <br /> II estimators . As an ongoing process during the design development <br /> stage, these specialists analyze each building component and over- <br /> all system as required to provide team feedback, allowing for <br /> responsive decision- making . During this process, our team provides <br /> input involving substitutions of materials, modifications of design , <br /> reductions in quantities or procedures other than those set forth in <br /> the contract documents . Our value engineering is designed to <br /> reduce the cost of a project to the lowest practical level without <br /> compromising its function or sacrificing quality & reliability. <br /> ,"'ONSTRUCTABILITY ANALY � iS <br /> PPI , throughout the design phase , will analyze the project docu - <br /> ments regarding the potential construction sequence problems and <br /> system conflicts . <br /> PPI Construction Management ♦ Ponikvar & Associates 23 <br />
