PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Successful project management of complex jobs demands a proactive approach, managed by professionals who have the experience, skills, and technical support each project requires. Foster has developed a construction project management approach based on our origin as a General Contracting firm. This background gives us a unique and in-depth understanding of what can go wrong on a project. We use this knowledge to identify potential trouble spots before they develop into problems, and to recommend or initiate preventive action through strategic planning and controls.Â
We vigilantly watch over all aspects of a project, from design review and long-lead items through schedule and budget updates and inspection during construction. As Project/Construction Managers or Owner’s Representatives, Foster has managed all phases of the construction process from pre-design through completion, including cost/budget controls, scheduling, estimating, expediting, contract administration, inspections, and control of contractors and suppliers.
Â
We help project teams and management determine how far a project has progressed at any given time regarding schedule, cost, productivity, and risk and compare against contractual expectations, scope, performance criteria, and milestones.
Foster’s construction program management teams work closely with owners, architects, engineers, and other construction consultants to provide seamless integration between all stages of the construction process.
Our team of construction management professionals is uniquely qualified to provide the oversight required to deliver your projects on time and to your expected standard of quality, scope, and function.
Even if your construction project idea is still just that – an idea – without drawings or plans, our professionals have the construction budget management experience to provide you with the necessary conceptual project budgets to help get your project off the ground.
Failure to recognize potential change orders is a source of significant margin fade for many contractors. Managing change orders effectively creates an environment where contract status and margins are known and, better yet, predictable.
