CONSTRUCTABILITY REVIEWS   Discovering code conflicts, duplication, and/or omissions in the construction documents leads to better bids and fewer change orders during the construction process. A codified plan review by JMB Consultants examines the civil, architectural, structural, MEP's and accessibility components of each project. Conflicts are identified, clarifications on details requested and a summary report issued on the findings.                                      

  

ESTIMATING

   

    BID ESTIMATES

Detail, completeness and speed   are the key requirements in a bid estimate.  A JMB bid estimate is prepared from complete plan and specification packages. The quantities are "bid level" in detail. This means a great majority of the project materials can be purchased direct from the estimate. Each item of work is identified in the estimate. The plans are crosschecked with the specifications. Quantities are completely developed approximately half way through the bid period. This provides more time to make key labor, material and equipment decisions for the project. When this happens, the estimate is more reliable and there are fewer mistakes.

Project management

JMB CONSULTING is known for its professional implementation of project management techniques and controls that move a project forward on time and within budget. We also understand the importance of keeping all project participants informed with up-to-date progress reports to gauge a project’s status.

Successful project management is driven by proactive decision-making during the early stages of planning and design. The teams that are assembled at the beginning of a project have built JMB’s history of success on project management assignments. Our approach keeps this team involved throughout the job, maintaining consistent involvement during the entire project.

We develop overall, integrated plans for logistics, management of budgets, expenditures and schedules to coordinate the worksite for the most efficient use of resources. Our professionals utilize their skills to achieve outstanding results providing key project management services.
