Preconstruction
SMC works to establish the project’s scope, budget, schedule and project control systems to be utilized and the management plan to be implemented. Project goals are defined and reinforced.

Bid and Award
The SMC Team prepares bid documents, reviews bid responses and awards the contract to a prime contractor or contractors. Advice is given on the type of general contract that best serves the project and the Owner.

Project Controls
Using the leading control systems for conceptual estimating, estimating, cost control, schedule maintenance, document control and claims avoidance, SMC gives Clients an extra edge in controlling project costs.

Constructibility Review
Performed on the design drawings to evaluate alternatives for materials, systems, installation and equipment in order to save both time and money, the Constructibility Review identifies potential logistical issues, such as site access restrictions, and temporary-routes-of-travel requirements.

Project and Design Auditing
In this phase, the SMC Team monitors the production of the design by the consultant team, establishes design activity schedules, holds regular progress meetings with the design team, and coordinates activities of the individual consultants.

Design Coordination
By clearly defining the project goals and conducting focused design review meetings, Swinerton Management & Consulting minimizes wasted time, effort and money.

Value Management
Simply put, it’s the analysis of alternatives; a program of workshops that illuminate cost and timesaving opportunities.
