Construction Engineering and Management
A long-lasting, cost-effective, and low-maintenance facility is the ultimate goal of your project, and our construction personnel are adept at managing your investments throughout the project’s lifespan.
We provide the quality assurance, project documentation, and final project records necessary for full reimbursement from funding authorities and understand what’s necessary to satisfy local, state, private, and federal funding agencies.
Moreover, we have experienced construction managers who specialize in mitigating risk, averting delays, and avoiding contract claims. Our trained field teams perform constructability reviews early in the design process, so plans are developed for more efficient construction which produces lower bid prices and minimizes costly overruns resulting from field changes. Ultimately our constructability reviews will save you time, money, and headaches during the construction of your project.
In today's construction environment, protecting public investments requires more than inspection and oversight. Success is built through proactive planning, constructability reviews, risk management, and clear communication long before construction begins. When those elements align, projects are delivered more efficiently, with fewer surprises and better outcomes for owners and stakeholders.
Construction Phase Services
HR Green professionals provide on-site construction engineering and inspection, quality assessment, and conflict resolution; utility coordination and assistance; schedule analysis; traffic control and protection monitoring; erosion and sediment control inspections; materials inspection; and project record-keeping for project closeout. HR Green also provides construction layout, topographic survey for earthwork calculations, and drone photography.
Resident Engineering
As Resident Engineers, our staff members are responsible for protecting your interests and supervising the planning, coordination, and implementation of projects in the field, as well as verifying adherence to the contract documents.
Constructability Reviews
Separate from the design team, our constructability reviewers know contractor bid strategies, are aware of common field issues, methods of construction, project and traffic staging, are fluent with methods of payment, cost of work items, equipment limitations, and have experience with construction scheduling.
Contract Administration
HR Green’s contract administration processes allow our staff to keep the contractor on schedule, avoid unnecessary contract claims, and limit budget overruns. Our inherent understanding of federal, state, and local specifications and our focus on proactive communication with clients and contractors provides efficient delivery of projects.
Stakeholder Coordination
Our proven on-site processes connect the HR Green team with project stakeholders through the use of preconstruction open houses, door-to-door outreach, development of project-specific websites, e-mail blasts, and social media channels. Our goal is to limit the client’s burden in responding to concerns and inquiries.
Project Controls
We believe that the success of a project does not happen by chance. “Success” for us is defined by our ability to maintain proper project controls throughout the course of the projects we oversee and manage. Our construction professionals apply the appropriate resources, procedures, and tools necessary to effectively manage cost, schedule, and risk for our clients in order to execute a project to its highest potential.
Our Services
HR Green provides tailored construction services to match our clients’ specific project needs, safeguarding your investment during the crucial construction phase. We monitor the construction of your project and deliver peace of mind.
FAQ
What is the difference between construction management and construction inspection?
Inspection verifies that work in the field matches the contract documents: materials inspection, traffic control and protection monitoring, erosion and sediment control, and quality assessment. Construction management covers that plus the commercial side of the project, including schedule analysis, contract administration, claim avoidance, and budget control. Most public projects need both, and on HR Green projects the same team delivers them.
What is a constructability review, and when should it happen?
A constructability review examines a design for field problems before the project goes out to bid. Reviewers who work separately from the design team assess contractor bid strategies, methods of construction, project and traffic staging, methods of payment, cost of work items, equipment limitations, and construction scheduling. Done early, it prevents change orders and delays that are far more expensive to resolve once construction has started.
What does a Resident Engineer do on a public infrastructure project?
A Resident Engineer represents the owner’s interests in the field. The role supervises planning, coordination, and implementation on site, and verifies that the contractor adheres to the contract documents. For a municipality or agency without full-time construction staff, the Resident Engineer is the day to day authority protecting the public investment.
What project documentation is required for full funding reimbursement?
Funding agencies each set their own requirements for quality assurance records, project documentation, and final project records. Missing or incomplete records can reduce or delay reimbursement after the work is already built. HR Green prepares closeout documentation to satisfy local, state, private, and federal funding agency requirements.
How does construction management control project cost and schedule?
Through contract administration that keeps the contractor on schedule, avoids unnecessary contract claims, and limits budget overruns. That depends on understanding federal, state, and local specifications and on proactive communication with both the client and the contractor, so issues get resolved in the field before they become claims.
