HOH
Construction Managers, Inc.
Few owners
possess the time, capability or total in-house staff
capacity to follow through on the many phases of a
construction project while simultaneously maintaining
the normal flow of their primary business activity.
Sensing this void in the corporate structure and the
opportunity to serve HOH's design-build specialty, HOH
Construction Managers was formed in 1971. Today, we are
a firm with proven capabilities and a track record of
success in providing complete construction service,
which often involves bringing to life our engineering
group's innovative designs.
Provides
Value Engineering
In choosing materials and
equipment, we take into account not only initial cost
but also such factors as maintenance and replacement
costs, speed of construction, availability, and
"down-time" costs. We then carefully analyze these
factors along with design specifications to determine
optimum allocation of construction expenditures for the
project.
Invites
Bidders
We screen companies based
on their qualifications for the type of work to be
constructed and because of our extensive knowledge and
network on our previous experience with them.
Analyzes
Bids
We check that bids are
inclusive and comply with the design, thereby
eliminating overlap of gaps in the work of various
trades, which can cause financial problems and delays
later.
Selects
Contractors
We arrive at decisions only
after investigating each bidder as to present work load,
financial status, bond and insurance capabilities, and
references.
Prepares
Contracts
Contracts are tailored to
satisfy the specific requirements of each project.
Purchases Materials
Many times a project will
benefit from our direct purchase of materials and
equipment on behalf of the owner, as our purchasing
decisions can often best meet construction schedule
requirements and save time and money.
Prepares
Construction Schedule
Coordinating the work of
the various contractors and expediting and predicting
project completion is an art we've developed into a
science.
Supervises Construction
To oversee the coordination
of contractors and to ensure that scheduling and
conformance to design is being met, we provide a
full-time site superintendent as well as a project
manager who acts as liaison between office and site.
Prepares
Progress Report
As construction proceeds,
we prepare progress reports to check against the
construction schedule and to apprise the owner of the
project status.
Administers Change Orders
When changes in the work
occurs during the course of the project, we serve on the
owner's behalf to determine their validity and to
negotiate extras and credits to the contracts and to
administer their proper payment.
Approves
Progress Payouts
We check contractor
invoices for work completed, receipt of waiver of liens,
contract compliance and accuracy.
Processes Loan Draws
Based on approved invoices
and percent of work completed by each contractor, we
prepare and process all forms required for monthly
construction loan draws.
Approves
Final Payment
Inspections and
State-of-the-Art controls determine satisfactory
completion of work by each contractor before approval of
final payments.
