Successful Project /
Construction Management demands a detail-diligent approach,
proactively managed by professionals who have the
experience, skills and technical support each project
demands. APC SA's professionals are not only credentialed;
they have seasoned, hands-on experience in the construction
industry. This experience, gained in the trenches of
construction projects across the globe, gives our project
teams the practical knowledge they need to effectively
manage virtually any type of capital project. APC SA's CM
teams include: construction managers, resident engineers,
construction superintendents, estimators, schedulers,
inspectors, contract administrators and construction claims
avoidance experts.
The Project/Construction
Management Division follows best professional practices
based upon recognized industry standards of management
delivery. The division includes Registered and highly
experienced Project and Construction Managers, Senior Cost
Managers and Schedulers, Chartered QS�s, Civil and MEP
Engineers, Architects and Landscape Architects.
APC SA has been providing
Project/Construction Management services to meet the needs
of clients interested in obtaining CM services. Similar to
our agency Project/Construction Management services, APC SA
provides full pre-construction services to the Owner during
the design phase of the project, offering schedule, budget
and constructability advice during the project-planning
phase.
In addition to providing
valuable input to the Owner during the design phase, the
Project/Construction Management method offers Owners the
opportunity to begin construction prior to the completion of
design. APC SA can bid and subcontract portions of the work
at any time, often while design of unrelated portions are
not yet completed.
Agency Project/Construction
Management is a fee-based service that provides you with an
experienced and objective advocate that acts in your best
interests, guiding you through the construction project from
initial concept to final construction closeout.
At APC SA we typically break a
project down into four phases: design, bidding, construction
and close-out. The services provided in each phase are
briefly outlined as follows:
|
 |
Design
Phase:
Throughout the
design of the project, we provide the Owner with
critical information and guidance to ensure that
the design matches the Owner's original intent,
program and budget. APC SA also provides
essential input regarding cost, schedule,
quality and detail of the drawings.
|
|
|
Bidding
Phase:
APC SA works with
the Owner and project team to determine the
correct number of bid packages for the project
in order to maximize participation and
competition. Once the bidding strategy has been
decided upon we work to ensure that the
prospective bidders fully understand the bid
documents and the construction schedule. We
conduct the pre-bid conference with all
prospective bidders; the better the bidders
understand the documents, the more precise and
often lower, their bids will be. APC SA also
assists Owners in bid evaluation and award.

|
Construction
Phase:
APC SA manages the
construction process, including the work of all
the contractors, so that each follows and
understands the project design and schedule. We
also manage change orders to ensure minimal cost
and delay to the project. In short, we manage
every aspect of the project to assure quality
construction, timely completion and adherence to
the Owner's budget.
|
|
|
Close-out
Phase:
As construction
activities wind down, APC SA� remains fully
focused on the project. Our continued attention
during this phase assures that the Owner
receives all materials, services, and training
that is required and desired by the Owner. |
