OUR APPROACH
A & R Corporation, Inc. manages every project, irrelevant of size, with the most qualified staff and the utmost attention to detail. We do so by doing the following:
Weekly Owners Meetings
Weekly project meetings are usually held at the job site with the presence of the owner, architect and the consultants to review and discuss the status of the project. This provides a forum to discuss any and all vital and time-sensitive issues including the schedule and the project manager's logs.
Meeting Minutes
Minutes are taken by the project manager and distributed timely to the entire project team, which captures the action items, discussion, responsibility and the due dates.
Project Managers Logs
The Project Manager and their team create and maintain logs to monitor the RFI's, submittals and change orders. These logs are reviewed and discussed at the weekly owner's meetings with the entire project team.
Scheduling
Project schedule is the road map for the construction of any project. The construction schedule is the most vital tool to ensure that the project is on track and will be delivered on time. Primavera schedule software (P6) is used to build a critical path method schedule for any and all projects up to 10,000 activities which include preconstruction activities, submittals, fabrications/deliveries, construction activities, punch list and close-out.
Progress Reports
The Project Manager is responsible to take weekly photos of the project and complete a one-page report on the vitals of the project that is reviewed by the project team and Project Executive. The photos will show the progress of the project and become a part of the permanent record of the project.
Internal Project Manager &
Project Executive Meetings
The Project Executive meets with A & R's
project team on a weekly basis. During this meeting, they review and discuss the project manager's report, schedule, budget, project issues, owner issues, and quality control. This meeting gives the Project Executive a solid understanding of the project and provides an opportunity to give feedback and guidance.
