For each project, we put together a custom team of specialists, including internal staff and subcontractors, best suited to ensure success, whether it is ground-up construction, a new retail space or an office renovation. Pre-Construction Design-Build Construction Management At Vantage Builders, we believe that pre-construction is one of the most important steps in the construction process; proper planning creates a solid foundation for the entire project. Prior to putting a shovel in the ground or a tool in hand, we start the pre-construction process. Collaborating during the design phase allows us to improve the overall constructability of the project, reduce any potential coordination gaps, and utilize an Integrated Project Delivery method. We work closely with the design team to determine the exact scope of the project: its business intent, feasibility, anticipated duration, and cost impact. Vantage Builders utilizes Target Value Design and Value Engineering, prioritizing client values and delivering cost vetting options while continuously evaluating budget and schedule. Collectively meeting as a team to share knowledge during the design phase allows us to establish the most efficient ways to execute and deliver a project while still achieving design goals. We are then able to create a reliable project schedule, identifying long lead time items and accurate estimates for every trade, minimizing potential change orders that could impact either throughout the construction phase. Our pre-construction services include: Site inspection and due diligence Conceptual budgeting Site evaluation feasibility Construction cost estimating and concurrent estimating Preliminary planning Zoning and permitting Project scheduling and coordination Subcontractor bid evaluation and pre-qualification Procurement and purchasing Project Management Tools Procore Technologies Vantage utilizes a project management platform, Procore Technologies, which allows everyone real time access to plans, specs, RFIs, submittals, daily reports, safety inspections and punchlist. Microsoft Project We utilize Microsoft Office for creating in depth project schedules which include preconstruction, procurement, construction and post construction activities. Weekly Meetings Our construction team conducts weekly meetings with the client and A/E team to discuss project status, identify issues and determine next steps. Any schedule deviations are discussed and a plan is created to eliminate any impact to the project end date. Look-Ahead Schedules The on-site superintendent generates a two-week look-ahead schedule and reviews it with the project team each week to monitor activities and ensure that project goals are met. Friday E-Blasts Each week our superintendent sends a project update email to all key members of the project team. The emails include a project status, plans for the following week and photos from the site. WE BUILD SO YOU CAN...
