Project Management and General Contracting
What is Smith Ridge Construction Management
(SRCM)?
SRCM is a professional management
practice consisting of an array of services applied
to construction projects and programs through the planning,
design, construction and post construction phases for
the purpose of achieving project objectives including
the management of quality, cost, time and scope.
SRCM is a discipline and management system specifically
created to promote the successful execution of capital
projects for owners. These projects can be highly complex.
Few owners maintain the staff resources necessary to
pay close, continuing attention to every detail--yet
these details can "make or break" a project.
A professional SRCM (Smith Ridge Construction Manager)
can augment the owner's staff with pre-planning, design,
construction, engineering and management expertise that
can assure the best possible project outcome no matter
what type of project delivery method used.
"Agency" SRCM is a professional service that
can be applied to all delivery systems where the SCCM
acts as the owner's principal agent in the management
of a construction project or program, where the SRCM
is responsible to the owner for managing the planning,
design, construction and post construction phases, or
portions thereof. The SRCM represents the interests
of the owner in its dealings with other construction
professionals, and with other private and public entities.
>Optimum use of available funds
>Control of the scope of the work
>Project scheduling
>Optimum use of design and construction firms' skills
and talents
>Avoidance of delays, changes and disputes
>Enhancing project design and construction quality
>Optimum flexibility in contracting and procurement
Comprehensive management of every stage of the project,
beginning with the original concept and project definition,
yields the greatest possible benefit to owners from
Construction Management.
