The Five Steps: General Construction

We're getting closer to the grand opening.  This step is where things get active from a "we can see things happening" standpoint.

General construction consists of:

• Managing the construction of the project.
• Responding to city inspectors.
• Responding to landlord and owner questions.
• Addressing change order requests.
• Scheduling the site walkthrough with the owner.
• Reviewing facility mechanical operating instructions with the owner.
• Satisfying all items on the "punch list".

Managing the construction of the project is the biggest bite of this step.  Within this componenet, there are a number of "to do" items, including:

• Acquiring building permits.
• Monitoring the construction schedule.
• Ordering and scheduling furniture, fixtures and equipment.
• Monitoring the actual construction.
• Installing furniture, fixtures and equipment.
• Visiting the building site.

With your preliminary work (steps 1, 2 and 3) done and done accurately, this step moves smoothly toward the grand opening.
