Working as the Owner's Representative, our consultants shoulder the burden of the day to day coordination of all of the management aspects of the project.

CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT 

From the earliest stages of a project, the Construction Management concept involves our consultants taking on the role of advocate and advisor to the owner and, at the same time, taking on the role of the Owner's Representative to the designers, architects, engineers, contractors and suppliers who will bring the project to life.  

As Owner's Representative, our obligation is to seek out cost effective services from the various professionals involved, provide construction documents and a complete design package, assist in the evaluation of contractor bids, develop a construction budget and cost out items to be furnished by the owner in lieu of the contractor.  Specifying "0wner Furnished Items" assists in insuring both the cost and quality control of the project.  As the construction phase progresses, our project managers review and approve the contractor's work, coordinate architectural, engineering and design issues and provide "owner furnished items" to the jobsite per the contractor's schedule.  They also monitor the contractor's progress and approve all pay applications.

Substantial cost savings are realized, not only in the value engineering of the project, but also by supplying numerous construction materials (doors & frames, wallcovering & carpet, hardware & light fixtures, etc.) purchased on the owner's behalf at national account pricing.  At the same time, the client / owner is spared the day to day frustrations of dealing with clarifications of thousands of details, coordination of schedules, resolving contractor miss-understandings, interpretation of plans, design books, finish schedules, etc. 

An extensive construction background combined with dedicated management skills give Tim English & Associates the tools to explore options and evaluate procedures, all with the specific purpose of providing the owner with a superior facility at a cost savings normally unattainable by typically supervised construction efforts.
