Estimate and/or negotiate the sale. Obtain submittals and compare against the specs then procure the Equipment with delivery based upon the projected need, schedule the other buyouts for the project as required. Compile and distribute the sub contracts and conduct pre-construction meetings to get the schedule layed out and early questions answered. Assemble the field crew and asses crew leveling as the project progresses. Visit the site regularly to insure compliance with the plans and specs and insure change orders are submitted in a timely manner to insure the project flows with as little remobilization as possible for the tasks requiring RFI'S for change orders. Insure the field supervisor and foreman have their questions answered and materials and equipment on site when requested. Oversee the delivery from the shop to the site and insure onsite inventory control is managed properly. Pull together timely MEP and Fire Protection coordination meetings and scrutinize coordination drawings vs. actual field conditions. Keep the MEP engineers aware of potention problems throught the chain of command from the field through the GC to the engineers. Follow up on RFI's often to insure clean flow for the project. Get early start on close out requirements and documentation so in the end every thing is done and compiled properly to conform with the specifications and in proper format. I instill in my field people an urgency to correct known issues as we go to keep punch list line items to a bare bones minimum if any at all. Convey to the service department managers that upon start up and commissioning the importance of getting to know the facilities managers and mechanics on a first name basis and move toward a long term maintanance program relationship rather than just a one years warranty relationship.
