Managing Changes, Change Orders, and Construction Directives

William N. Bernstein, AIA, LEED AP - President of project management company Empire Projects, Inc. - was one of the panelists at a CMMA webinar on "Managing Changes, Change Orders, and Construction Directives'. 

As described on the CMAA site (https://www.cmaanet.org/elearning/managing-changes-change-orders-and-construction-directives), this webinar involved the following topics:

"Changes and the resulting change orders and construction directives are common sources of delays and disruptions during a construction project and require understanding and management by the project team. Now that many construction projects are remobilizing and are under new health and safety protocol, navigating changes is more important than ever. The panel includes a construction manager/claims consultant, construction attorney, and owners rep/project manager who will discuss protocol and best practices under an ever changing job site environment."

The other panelists were Rocco Vespe and Mark Bloom. Mr. Vesper is a principal at HKA (https://www.hka.com/expert-post/rocco-r-vespe/) and Mr. Bloom is a partner at Arent Fox (https://www.arentfox.com/attorneys/mark-bloom).

Empire Projects, Inc. - A Project Management Company Based in Manhattan

About Empire Projects, Inc. 

Overview

Empire Projects, Inc. provides project management and owner’s representative (owner’s rep) services. Founded in 2003 in New York, the company serves real estate developers. Institutions, building owners, company owners, facility departments, and real estate management companies. Clients include private companies (business owners, landlords, and tenants); the real estate industry (developers, real estate management companies, coop boards, individual property owners); the public sector (local, state and federal government); and institutional clients (universities, hospitals, and non-profits).

Comprehensive Approach

Our firm has extensive experience in managing all aspects of a new development, whether a new building, renovation of an all or part of an existing building, or interior fit out of a tenant space. We are actively involved making the entire project a success, managing from the concept stage, through procurement of the site, building or tenant space; management of the design team of architects, engineers, and other consultants; through careful bidding of the project to get the best and most complete price; through signing of contracts for all parties, equipping the facility with FFE (fixtures, furniture and equipment); and finally through sign-offs, close-outs, and occupancy.

Alignment with Client

Understanding the goals and requirements of our clients is a first step in our process of project management. In many cases, as the project evolves, needs change, so the alignment process continues throughout the project. All decisions on the project are made on the basis of achieving results which either meet or exceed the client’s needs and expectations.

Multidisciplinary Team and Approach

The design, construction and FFE components of a project require a multidisciplinary approach. Our team members are all highly intelligent, organized and experienced in the various specialties that drive projects, including architecture, interior design, engineering, equipment specification/procurement, furniture specification/procurement, and the full range of specialty consulting (such as acoustics, environmental, facade, hazardous materials, noise, vibration, and waterproofing). Our team includes architects, contractors, developers, engineers, and procurement specialists.

Focus on Capital Cost Savings

Empire Projects, Inc. looks at every stage of the project design and project construction as an opportunity to get the maximum value for the client. Often referred to a “value engineering”, there are many opportunities during the design and construction process to reduce costs without negatively impacting the quality of the project. Strategies during the design phase include: quality and completeness checks of the documents, judicious selection of systems and finishes, and overall management of the process to maximize clear communications between design team and client, to avoid costly changes during the design and construction process. A similar opportunity exists during the construction process. Critical to reducing construction costs are: inclusion of all project scope in Base Bid, eliminating exclusions from bids, eliminating possible future change orders during the bidding process, managing the construction process to eliminate potential delays and associated additional costs, careful consideration of alternatives, and keeping associated project costs under control during construction.

Focus on Schedule

Empire Projects, Inc. is focused on managing the design and construction of projects to meet the project schedule. This involves creation of realistic schedules, constant monitoring of the work in relation to the schedules, and adjustment of on-going work where necessary to maintain the schedule.

Team Building and Leadership

Projects are built with teams, and the project manager must build and lead the team. This involves establishing an open, positive and construction environment for the job, and working to make sure all team members are participating in and reinforcing this environment.

Ethical Standards

Our firm practices an ethical approach to project management. Our firm and its members are independent of all manufacturers, designers, vendors, and contractors.

Condo Project Management

A new, luxury condominium, managed by Empire Projects, Inc, has topped out.

The condominium building is located in the Highline area of Manhattan. It is app. 100,000 sf and features 31 luxury condominiums designed by a well-known, award-winning architect.

The building promises to be an important addition to the New York City skyline.

Topped out, in the case of a concrete superstructure such as this project, means that the last of the concrete superstructure has been completed. This is an important milestone in a new building, in that it allows for the exterior envelope (such as curtain wall or wall and window wall) to be installed.

For apartment project management, see: http://empireprojects.com/apartment-project-management/

For residential project management, see: http://empireprojects.com/residential-project-management/

Project management of a condominium or coop apartment building in Manhattan requires an understanding of what makes a successful residential design, and how that design can be implemented appropriately through the construction process.

The residential project manager must work to guide and manage the project to meet the client’s budget, schedule and quality expectations. Another factor for the project manager of an apartment renovation, is the interface with the coop or condo building’s ownership and management. This is where the experience of the project manager is particularly relevant, as the construction project manager must not only review and understand the building’s design and construction guidelines, but must make sure that the project design and construction conforms to those guidelines. In addition, the apartment's location in Manhattan requires expertise in the logistics of building in Manhattan, as well as the approval process of the New York City Building Department, and the New York City Fire Department.

Empire Projects, Inc. has extensive experience managing residential building construction in New York and is ideally suited to project manage a coop or condo apartment building project.

Dental Office Project Management in New York

Empire Projects, Inc. has completed the project management of a new dental office project in downtown Manhattan.

The firm managed the dental office design, dental office filing and permits, dental office construction bidding, dental office construction and installation of the dental office equipment.

For dental office project management, see: http://empireprojects.com/Healthcare-Project-Management-Dental/

Dental office construction is a complex, specialty-type construction, involving coordination between the dental office design, dental office equipment and dental office construction. It involves multiple architectural and engineering systems, which must be coordinated and normally built quickly in line with the dental office schedule.

Acting as Owner’s Representative for a dentist on a Dental Office Construction project requires an understanding of what makes a successful Dental Office Construction project, and how that Dental Office Construction design can be implemented appropriately through the Dental Office project management process. In addition, the dental project’s location in New York City requires expertise in the logistics of building in Manhattan, as well as the approval process of the New York City Building Department, and the New York City Fire Department. Empire Projects, Inc. is ideally suited to project manage a Dental Office Construction renovation, due to the fact that the company is owned and operated by licensed professionals with an average of at least 20 years dental design and dental construction experience.

Apartment Project Management in New York

Empire Projects, Inc. has completed the project management of an apartment renovation in Manhattan.

The apartment is located on a high floor of the Time Warner center, with fantastic views of Central Park.

The apartment renovation was a very high end project, designed by an AD 100 interior designer. The design concept and implementation of that concept were very successful. The project is quite stunning and has been published in a number of design publications.

The project involved the design and construction of a complete gut rehab and interior reconstruction of the entire project area including all new interior walls, doors, finishes and engineering systems (HVAC, electrical, and plumbing). Additional scope items included were furniture and artwork.

Project management of an apartment renovation in Manhattan requires an understanding of what makes a successful residential design, and how that design can be implemented appropriately through the construction process.

The residential project manager must work to guide and manage the project to meet the client’s budget, schedule and quality expectations. Another factor for the project manager of an apartment renovation, is the interface with the coop or condo building’s ownership and management. This is where the experience of the project manager is particularly relevant, as the construction project manager must not only review and understand the building’s design and construction guidelines, but must make sure that the project design and construction conforms to those guidelines. In addition, the apartment's location in Manhattan requires expertise in the logistics of building in Manhattan, as well as the approval process of the New York City Building Department, and the New York City Fire Department.

Empire Projects, Inc. has extensive experience managing residential building construction in New York and is ideally suited to project manage a coop, condo, or rental apartment building project.
