Our client benefits from a single point of management responsibility for planning, design management, permitting compliance, construction management and ongoing operations services.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT

ARE TIME, COST AND QUALITY IMPORTANT ON YOUR PROJECT?

UEG offers extensive construction and project management services to construction owners worldwide. UEG'S claims experience gives us a unique understanding of what can go wrong on a construction project. UEG uses this knowledge to identify potential trouble spots on a project before they develop into problems and recommends or initiates preventive action through strategic planning and project controls. As construction project manager, UEG has managed all phases of the construction process from pre-design through completion, including cost and budget controls, scheduling, estimating, expediting, inspection, contract administration and management of contractors, subcontractors and suppliers.

CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT

WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO ENSURE THAT YOUR AGGRESSIVE SCHEDULE IS ACHIEVED

Successful construction management demands a detail-diligent approach, proactively managed by professionals who have the experience, skills and technical support each project demands. UEG'S professionals are not only credentialed; they have seasoned, hands-on experience in the construction industry. This experience, gained in the trenches of construction projects across the globe, gives our project teams the practical knowledge they need to effectively manage virtually any type of capital project. UEG'S CM teams include: construction managers, resident engineers, construction superintendents, estimators, schedulers, inspectors, contract administrators and construction claims avoidance experts.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT OVERSIGHT

IS YOUR CONSTRUCTION BUDGET SPENT PROPERLY?

UEG'S project management oversight (PMO) services support project success by independently anticipating problems, identifying setbacks and recommending solutions in every area of construction. This is the essence of PMO; to give clients objective information allowing them to make prudent decisions about key issues before major problems occur. UEG'S PMO teams provide timely and objective reporting, from evaluating the performance of the construction manager, designer and contractors, to monitoring schedules and analyzing costs. Teams include specialists in all phases of construction, so that the myriad events that occur on a project can be assessed and evaluated in a timely way by the right expert. Because UEG'S staff includes experts who are leaders in their disciplines, our clients benefit from strong recommendations, which are both technically and financially sound.

TROUBLED PROJECT TURNAROUND

IS YOUR PROJECT HEADING IN THE WRONG DIRECTION

While project management is used most cost-effectively before construction begins, it is also used to regain control after serious problems have caused delays or overruns. When retained under these circumstances, UEG assembles a team that can most expediently address critical needs. UEG'S turnaround team designs new schedules, creates new plans, and implements procedures to get the project back on track. In addition, UEG'S experience in construction claims means our turnaround team can mitigate and resolve claims, without impeding newly established project schedules.

ESTIMATING AND COST MANAGEMENT

ARE YOU MISSING THE MARK ON COSTS?

UEG has successfully prepared cost estimates on projects ranging from the thousands to the billions in support of planning, design, construction, renovation, operation and maintenance, as well as change order negotiations and claims support. UEG ensures accurate estimation of construction costs by involving the engineering staff on A/E and construction project cost estimates. Budgetary and detailed cost estimates are developed in accordance with client's protocols. Vendor quotes are solicited, where appropriate, local material costs are obtained from suppliers in the vicinity of the project and labor productivity rates are derived from project experience and history.

UEG'S Estimating and Cost Management Services include: Master Planning, Conceptual Budget Estimates, Estimates at 60%, 95% & 100% CDs, Project Work Schedules, Constructability Reviews, Value Engineering, Change Orders Administration, Long Lead Items Identification and Document and Information Control Systems
