PreConstruction Management

Sound planning is the fundamental cornerstone of project success. Preconstruction management ensures that when it is time to start physical construction in the field, every angle has been covered. Hiring a competent, experienced preconstruction management team at the early stages of project design can avoid claims and cost overruns. ​The absolute necessity of laying a solid foundation is the reasons preconstruction management is possibly the most important of all commercial construction services. Our preconstruction management services include:

• Managing your budget, materials selections, constructability and schedules
• Before actual construction commences to check as-built conditions, dimensions and conditions of existing surfaces scheduled to be re-used
• Reviewing drawings for the coordination of primary consultants, and performing  cost comparisons for alternative materials and methods

A recognized preconstruction management team can also foster a stronger, more reliable sense of teamwork based on the respect only a reputable firm is afforded in our extremely competitive industry. Our pre construction management services also focus on:

• Project budgeting and estimating
  
• Pre-ordering of long lead-time items
  
• Design review and team meetings
  
• Document coordination
  
• Constructability review and commentary
  
• Building information modeling (BIM)​

• Life-cycle cost analysis
  
• Value engineering
  
• Construction phasing, sequencing and site logistics
  
• Subcontractor preparation and packaging
  
• Project scheduling (including preconstruction activities)

Management Tools

Management Tools

Bayley Construction uses management tools as effective methods to distribute information and to control and organize projects. We are the main “conduit” of information flow and must be the most organized part of the project team. Our Project Management database, built on the Microsoft Access® platform, allows us to track and link all information processes and systems together. With this system, nothing is ever “forgotten” and all issues, revisions and questions are properly documented and dealt with expediently. The following project logs are management tools linked within the database and are used by our teams:

• RFI Log
• Cost Control Log
• Submittal Log and Submittal Forecast Listing by CSI Division
• Material Procurement and Delivery Schedules
• Subcontract Buyout Log for Each Trade
• Rental Equipment Log for General Conditions and Self-Performed Work
• Biweekly Project Management Meeting Agenda and Minutes

Other Management tools within our Project Management processes and job field management:

• CPM Schedule and Updates
• Eight-Week Short Interval Schedules
• Subcontract Paperwork Status Report (Indicates status of insurance certificates/ endorsements; subcontract agreement; bonds; signed and executed sub-change orders; subcontract close-out documents.)
• Project Superintendent and Project Engineer Daily Reports
• Complete Project Safety Program and Site Specific Safety Manual (Administered by our Regional Safety Engineer in conjunction with our Corporate Safety Officer. This includes all training, forms and reporting systems, which comply with or exceed CAL/OSHA safety procedures.)
• Overhead trade (mechanical, fire protection, plumbing, electrical, acoustical, drywall) coordination meetings before, during and after shop drawing phase to assure all trades are coordinated to avoid conflicts and claims that usually arise in this area where each trade is trying to establish their “zone” to install their materials.

Quality Assurance

Quality Assurance

The word “quality” is a byproduct of the efforts we put into the project up front, as reflected by constant monitoring of the specifications of materials the architect has called out. We believe the essence of true quality control is in constant inspection, verifications and reminders consistently communicated from upper management to superintendents, along with our teams having a deep knowledge of the job.

In order to accomplish our expectations from subcontractors, we inspect their work on a regular and consistent basis, with corrections made well before punch list reviews.

Construction Schedule

Construction Schedule

We consider Critical Path Method Scheduling one of the most important pieces of our entire construction process. We initiate and drive this process from the beginning of the pre-construction phase. All activities are listed, including critical milestone dates required of the owner, consultants, city officials and the contractor.

Schedules are status-updated, issued every month and reviewed at major status meetings. The superintendents create, maintain and issue 8-week Short Interval Schedules. These are tracked against the CPM schedule for progress and are exceptionally detailed to show specific phased areas.

The schedule is used in bidding out all sub trades and becomes an exhibit each subcontractor is contractually bound to.

Design Build Commercial Contractors

Design build commercial contractors use a delivery method that streamlines and simplifies two previously separate phases of construction: Project Design and General Construction. Design build commercial contractors form a team that includes architects, builders, engineers, estimators and other members of the construction community. The design build team has five main phases:

1. Selecting the design builder
2. Preconstruction management assessment
3. Architectural design
4. Construction
5. Post-construction

Unlike classical construction projects, design build commercial contractors projects’ focus on collaboration and thus, these phases tend to overlap instead of remaining autonomous. By combining such a diverse multitude of industrial forces, design build commercial contractors deliver results previously thought unachievable in classical construction’s hierarchical terms. Bayley Construction has been working on design build commercial contractors projects since the early 1980’s when this format began growing in popularity. Some of our more popular design build commercial contractors projects focus on landmarks including:

• Parking Structures
• Retail Building Spaces
• Office Space
• Sports Stadiums
• Entertainment Venues

Our strategic alliances with highly skilled experienced architects and engineers allow us to quickly and efficiently assemble custom teams whose expertise can be directly applied to a multitude of construction types. When it comes to mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire protection, Bayley Construction’s design build commercial contractors have the knowledge and experience to prepare bid packages taking into account the timing required to build a design team, while managing the competitive process of buying out these trades. Some of the featured projects our design build commercial contractors have completed include:

• University of Washington Husky Baseball Team Building & Grandstands
• Alderwood Mall Parking Structures 1 and 2
• Riverside Black Box/Parking Structure
• Riverside Fox Theater

We welcome you to contact us to discuss how our design build commercial contractors can go to work for you.
