Category: Construction Management

Construction management is the management of the bid, award, construction and close-out phases of a project. Nyecon will provide methods and procedures to efficiently control time, cost and quality of an owner’s construction program through this important service. Construction management services may include: Schedule control Optimizing procurement by marketing to multiple bidders to ensure competitive pricing Cost control Quality control Closeout and document turnover Transition to occupancy

Program management encompasses all phases of construction from pre-planning, budgeting and scheduling, through design, bid and award, construction and move-in. Nyecon has a number of innovations in program management, including procedures associated with cost estimating, constructability review and scheduling. In our role as the owner’s advocate/manager, we bring invaluable hands-on experience to the task of completing projects in the most productive, cost-efficient manner possible. Program management services may include: Condition assessments Facilities master planning Implementation planning Master program schedule Program …

The process of preparing a master plan is the first step in the implementation of any long-range building program. The master plan becomes the foundation for coordinating and managing design and construction activities in the program. The goals and objectives of the master planning process are to: Provide an accurate assessment of all existing building structures, finishes, mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems, as well as accessibility and ADA compliance issues Define a realistically achievable work scope that is in line …

Compiling an accurate assessment of the condition of all existing buildings, including roofs, finishes, mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems is an essential first step in developing a realistic master plan. Preparing this comprehensive site survey helps the client to define a realistically achievable work scope that is consistent with client and community priorities. The assessment, which includes cost analysis, prioritization of projects, and a required time frame for each project, is conducted in a three-step process. STEP ONE – Survey …

Knowledgeable scheduling, from the initial planning stage through design, construction and move-in, will ensure success in the delivery of your project. Nyecon’s schedule management involves a “back-to-basics” approach. Our schedules are aggressive but realistic. We apply our keys to success: 1) understanding the site and operational issues, construction time-windows, and environmental sensitivities; 2) developing sequencing strategies that will match priorities; 3) managing the design process, funding, and approvals effectively; and 4) having constant, hands-on anticipation and mitigation of schedule impediments. …

Nyecon’s Principal, Bruce Nye has over 30 years of experience in reviewing construction documents. We know that lack of coordination and clarity causes less competitive bidding and unnecessary change orders. Good “clean” documents will avoid these problems and a detailed plan review is the essential step toward good construction documents. Our constructability review process will save you construction dollars. A typical new commercial project will generate 100-200 review comments (based on a set of 90 percent complete construction documents). The …

Significant cost savings, along with an increased level of quality, can be accomplished on most projects through properly conducted value engineering reviews. Our approach utilizes our technical expertise in architectural and engineering disciplines, combined with hands-on, practical experience to make sure that “value” is truly added to your project. Our Value Engineering (VE) analysis will focus on meeting the functional requirements of your project at the minimum cost and highest quality. Each building system and its components will be analyzed …

Staying within your budget is essential for the project to be successful. We know current industry costs and how to develop accurate estimates from the earliest conceptual estimates to detailed quantity-based construction estimates. Our estimating services start from the earliest possible point in a project in order to maximize the value of every dollar spent. Our estimating will: 1) review project scope, 2) create a definitive and realistic cost model, 3) develop design phase estimates to help control scope “creep,” …
