2.5. Construction Administration / Communication

The 620 N 3rd St project was studied and analyzed holistically by Fit Construction. Work packages were established with portions of the project, which were then awarded to prequalified subcontractors. A Master Schedule was established and weekly reports, including updates on the real progress of the schedule, are to be submitted. Fit Construction will bill PRDC monthly on the work performed. The subcontractors also bill Fit Construction monthly and agree to a paywhen-paid contract. The work is to be tracked utilizing a percentage completion strategy and communicated to the Owner every week.

Naturally for an integrated delivery method project, communication is encouraged between all project participants as much as possible. From a process point of view, the Project Manager is in the center of the major communications. This person is the Owner’s main contact point, as well as the Designer’s. The Project Manager translates the information circulated between Owner and Designer and makes decisions regarding the subcontractors and the construction site. The Project Manager communicates these decisions to the Site Superintendent, who is then responsible for implementing these directions at the site. Conversely, the subcontractors and Site Superintendent gather questions and concerns at the construction site and inform the Project Manager, who is then assigned to discuss it with Owner and Designer. The project specific communications are further explained under Section Six of this manual.
