Construction Management/Problem Resolution

Location: Cincinnati, Ohio
Client: Corinthian Baptist Church

Details:
This Church organization had begun its major addition/new building project with a design/build firm. Once the design was completed, the Church chose to bid out the construction to other companies in an effort to ensure a competitive construction pricing. As a result, another company won the construction contract. In time, the Church had a serious problem where neither the Architect (Design firm) nor the Contractor was communicating effectively to benefit of their client, the Church. Our firm was brought in to initially assess how serious "the problem" was, particularly given its effect on whether the construction would get done in a reasonable time period. Our firm researched and reviewed all correspondence, contract documents prior to developing a recommended strategy and management process. Once presented to the committee, our firm was hired to carry-out this management program as the Church Technical Advisor until project Phase 1 was completed. This involved construction documentation, as well as change orders, retainage, pay outs, credits to Church and further meeting minutes were initiated and chronicled, while instituting overall order.
