CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION

How do you ensure that what has been designed on paper is reflected in a fully constructed building? That’s where Construction Administration comes into play as Hover Architecture and its consultants work with the construction team to ensure the design intent is met and our drawings are followed, and sometimes changed if required.

WHAT IS CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION?

After completing drawings and receiving a permit, Hover provides support related to the Construction Documents during the bidding and construction processes. Once construction is underway, the team and its consultants make themselves available to assist in the interpretation of the Construction Documents, provide additional information and detail as requested and resolve conflicts with actual field conditions to ensure proper construction of the project we’ve worked so hard to bring to life. A few items included in construction administration are:

  • Review of shop drawings
  • Review of product submittals
  • RFI responses
  • Owner/Architect/Contractor (OAC) Meetings
  • Site Observations
  • Special Inspections

WHY IS CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION IMPORTANT?

Construction administration is critical for ensuring the successful completion of a construction project, providing oversight, and maintaining control over quality, costs, schedules, and compliance. It’s the final passing of the baton and could make the difference between a successful project and one that gets stuck in the mud or goes unfinished. All of Hover’s projects include expert construction administration to make sure your project makes it to the finish line.

THE BENEFITS OF CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION

Quality Assurance: ensures that the construction work meets specified standards and adheres to the design plans. This helps in delivering a final product that is safe, functional, and aesthetically pleasing.

Cost Control: By monitoring budgets and expenditures closely, construction administration helps prevent cost overruns and ensures that the project remains financially viable.

Schedule Management: ensures that the project stays on schedule by coordinating activities, managing timelines, and addressing delays promptly. This helps in meeting project deadlines and avoiding costly penalties.

Risk Management: By identifying and mitigating potential risks early in the project we prevent major issues that could derail the project, ensuring smoother execution and fewer surprises.

Communication: Facilitating clear and effective communication among all stakeholders (owners, architects, contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers) ensures that everyone is on the same page, reducing misunderstandings and conflicts.

Regulatory Compliance: Ensuring that the project adheres to all relevant building codes, safety regulations, and legal requirements helps avoid legal issues and ensures the safety and legality of the construction.

Documentation: Keeping comprehensive records of all aspects of the project, including changes, approvals, and communications, provides a clear project history that can be referenced if issues arise later.

Problem Resolution: Addressing issues and changes promptly through proper channels helps keep the project moving forward and maintains a collaborative atmosphere among all parties involved.
