McCuskey Group believes that the first thing to build on a project is a TEAM. The project team, consisting of the Owner, the Design Professionals and the Constructors must function together with the same project goals at heart:
- On-time
- On-budget
- Lasting quality
The foundation for a successful team is built on personal involvement and accountability for each party's responsibilities associated with the project. By developing cooperation and a positive working relationship in the very beginning of the project, our team is able to enhance the process and insure that the best management practices are pursued by all. As a cohesive team, we can share “lessons learned” from past projects and improve on those areas in the future.
McCuskey Group recommends independent cost estimates of the plans and specifications at four progress stages of the design documents. “Over the shoulder” constructability reviews are suggested at the 30% and 75% progress stages of the construction documents. The Project Manager and other Owner representatives, having specific knowledge of the design disciplines or user needs, perform concurrent reviews with the Construction Manager while allowing the design process to continue unfettered. Comments are provided live during the “over the shoulder” review directly to the design team to prevent any delays.
The experience of McCuskey Group in design and construction, with professional credentials in both vocations, is essential to the successful completion of every project.
