CONSTRUCTABILITY REVIEW
The Vant Consultants assesses the accuracy and completeness of construction plans and specifications and validates schedules and budgets. An effective constructability review looks for document completeness and inconsistencies, potential liability, coordination issues, and missed details. The review also identifies and eliminates ambiguities and contract language that contribute to unnecessary construction change orders, disputes, and adversarial relationships between the contractor, owner, designer, and project stakeholders.
CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION
Contract and procurement management are core services The Vant Consultants provides at the onset of a project or program. Our experience includes upgrading contract documents, preparing requests for proposals, and participating in or facilitating contractor bid review and selection. We also assist in developing a contract/procurement strategy designed to capitalize on market condition advantages without compromising the overall project timetable. When these efforts occur during the early phases of a project’s life cycle, Spire’s input can add tremendous value to the project.
CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULING
The Vant Consultants keeps projects on schedule. We are experts in developing, evaluating, and maintaining design and construction schedules. Using Project 4D™, ConstructSim™, Primavera™, Claim Digger™, Microsoft Project™, and Finest Hour™for planning projects, we develop schedules during design to determine the initial schedule, project duration, and critical project activities. We create schedules to monitor activities during construction, analyze changed conditions and delays, and evaluate their impact on project completion. Post-construction, we use schedules to facilitate project closeout and analyze claims that arise.
