CONSTRUCTION PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Construction Management
I – Viabloc is a General Contracting Company, a management construction firm that acts as a mediator between the client, the owner, the architects, the estimators, the developers, the contractors, the labourers, the sub-trades, the insurances, the suppliers, the manufactures, the engineers and any other management party.
II- Design – Build
Viabloc Construction Company provides a variety of project delivery formats including: general contract method, separate contract method, design-build method, & professional construction management method.
Regardless of the format, Viabloc Construction takes a proactive team approach to the delivery of construction services, and will ensure successful delivery of your project.
The most beneficiary format to the client is design-build method; the client will have the best of both poles, the design and the construction. In a sense, design-build is like the general contract method, except that the contractor is also responsible for the design of the project.
Since the design-build method integrates the design and construction function mutually, it is possible for the construction to begin before the completion of the design for the project, and plans can easily be adapted when changes occur.
However the client’s feedback is important to us at every stage of the project because a construction project must be a joint effort of the contractor, architect, engineer, designer, and client. With this proactive approach, as a result, the final project will have a higher degree of constructability.
III- Project coordination
We understand the challenges each project offers. Projects, even with the most careful planning by Owner, architect, engineers, and designers, usually include omissions or field situations that no one anticipated. We pride ourselves on working closely with all entities involved to find creative solutions that satisfy the most people with the least amount of upheaval both in schedule and cost.
IV- Team approach
Friendly Team attitude; Together Everyone Achieves More is one of our important guiding principles, because each project and client is unique, we use team approach with the right combination of stuff skills and experience to project delivery, success, and to ensure client satisfaction.
Any supplier, manufacturer, contractor, subtrade or labourer even the client himself is welcome to bid and work on any project, the construction company Viabloc manages the tasks in order to help its customers achieving their projects successfully with less cost and within the time frame.
