PROJECT MANAGEMENT

 
VALUE ENGINEERING

To identify the most effective method of meeting functional requirements, we conduct an extensive value analysis of each project.  Our goal is to make sure that the project meets the Owner’s standards while reducing the life cycle cost.  We continuously review the developing plans and documents for consistency with Owner standards.

ESTIMATING

RSG’S cost estimating system is a formal, step-by-step method that provides the Owner, and other parties involved the opportunity to review and comment on the estimate and then understand the basis for further decisions, relative to the estimate.

COST CONTROL

RSG has developed a cost management subsystem which provides reports and control for both design and construction phases.  It tracts actual verses budgeted costs according to a chart of accounts format.  Because of the automation advantage, it is easy to monitor and control costs for projects integrating progress payments of RSGs, and contractors, and costs of materials.

We are also able to report the financial commitment to date, projected costs to complete and variance to budget for each contract, including change orders that affect costs and status of contingency funds.  We realize that Owner appropriations are restrictive and are careful to analyze actual costs vs. budgeted amounts allocated by the various funding sources.

CONSTRUCTABILITY REVIEWS

As part of RSG’S project management concept, constructability reviews are provided to identify any potential conflicts with the sequence of work, performance, scope breakdown and bid packaging and design schedule.  These constructability reviews begin during the schematic phase and are ongoing throughout the design phase.
