Professional Construction Management is a project delivery system that applies modern management techniques to project planning, design, and construction in order to control time and cost, and assure quality for the project owner. Construction Management entails a comprehensive array of services spanning all phases of the design and construction process. The program of services applied to a particular project should be appropriate to the size, type and complexity of the project and honed to the needs of the owner.
Daffan, Inc. serves as a member of the owner's project team and is responsible for developing and implementing a management plan that will achieve the goals of the project within the budgetary and schedule parameters established by the owner. The professional Construction Manager (CM) does not design or construct the project; the CM's task is to implement a management framework within which those processes may be carried out efficiently and effectively.
The Construction Management process is most effective when employed from the onset of the project, allowing the CM, the owner, and the design professionals to identify and resolve issues of value and constructability prior to construction. This is where cost savings are maximized.
Scheduling and coordination are the keys to controlling time in the design and construction processes. Daffan, Inc. uses a variety of scheduling techniques to monitor progress and to anticipate critical events and concerns before they become problems. The critical path of the project will be established and monitored to maintain the completion date of the project. As the schedule is a dynamic document, Daffan, Inc. will update and revise the plan to work around problem areas.
Project cost saving opportunities are greatest during design. Daffan, Inc. prepares independent cost estimates and review the on-going design for potential cost savings. The collaborative efforts of the design phase achieve a constructible design prior to bid, thereby reducing the need for costly changes or redesign during the construction phase. By using market estimates in lieu of square-foot estimates, Daffan, Inc. more accurately understands the cost of the building.
Throughout construction, Daffan, Inc. monitors the progress, payments, changes, and other factors affecting costs. Every aspect of the cost of a project is carefully monitored assuring its compliance with the owner's budget and expectations. The team approach to Construction Management reverses the inherently adversarial nature of traditional construction, reducing the causes of disputes and subsequent litigation.
Achieving quality is as important as controlling time and cost. Daffan, Inc. coordinates the design and construction processes with unwavering focus to ensure that the quality standards are established in the design and realized in the completed building. The quality control and inspection programs leave nothing to chance.
Daffan Inc.’s primary task is to represent the interests of the owner throughout all phases of the project. Our professional services are compensated for based on a negotiated fee for the scope of services rendered. Since that compensation is not dependent on the ultimate cost of the project, any conflict of interest in managing the costs of design and construction is thus eliminated. You can rest easy that we are working solely for your best interests.
Flexibility in the adaptation of Construction Management services allows it to be efficiently tailored to the specific needs of the project, and coordinated with the resources of the owner. As a management system, Construction Management has proven beneficial to all types of construction projects in both the public and private sectors.
