Design and Planning
- Design Collaboration and Review: The Green Construction team works actively with architects and engineers to assess designs, suggest improvements, and to identify any discrepancies within the plans that could cause issues later.
- Constructability Analysis: We evaluate the feasibility of the design to ensure the proposed materials and construction methods are practical for the budget, timeline, and local conditions of the project.
- Value Engineering: Iterative design and cost analysis go hand in hand, allowing for adjustments to optimize the financial viability of the project, alongside its functionality.
- Conceptual/Early Planning: In the earliest stages, we outline a schedule to establish the general project timeline and to identify potential milestones.
Cost and Risk Management:
- Detailed Cost Estimating: Building upon initial budgets, we will fine-tune the cost of materials, labor, and timelines to get a more realistic picture of projected expenses.
- Subcontractor Pre-Qualification: We pay particular attention to identifying reliable subcontractors and to secure preliminary bids to solidify budget expectations.
- Risk Assessment: Our seasoned team will pinpoint potential problems—logistical bottlenecks, environmental concerns, material availability, etc.—and we will then develop mitigation plans.
Logistics and Execution Planning:
- Permitting and Approvals: Working with local authorities to gather information on regulations, we initiate the permitting process and secure necessary clearances.
- Site Utilization Planning: It’s crucial to optimize the site layout for material storage, equipment staging, waste management, and to ensure the smooth flow of operations.
- Phasing and Sequencing: Breaking down the project into a detailed sequence of steps, maximizing efficiency and minimizing disruption between phases.
- Detailed Planning: This is where the CPM (critical path method) schedule becomes a crucial tool. We break down all construction tasks along with dependencies, assign realistic resources and durations, and clearly map out the critical path—the sequence of activities that will dictate the overall project timeline.
- Procurement Strategies: We will determine the best way to procure materials and major equipment, whether it’s through direct purchases, bulk discounts, or long-lead-time planning.
- Community Relations: Especially for projects in developed areas, initiating proactive communication with neighbors and local stakeholders is a good practice to address concerns and foster good relations.
