- Project controls and owner’s representation: a well-organized project controls manager oversees all aspects of the building process, monitoring resources, schedules, and tasks to ensure the project is completed on time and within budget. The owner’s representative monitors the contractors technical performance, assuring compliance with the architect’s and engineer’s specifications.
Team Roles and Responsibilities:
Our team’s 50+ years of collective experience has been gained on projects totaling more than $25 billion in construction and services value. This skill set supports simultaneous planning and construction at multiple sites across the US, essential for meeting our target of 100 warehouses by 2028. Our team consists of:
- A project manager (PM) monitoring and executing cost, schedule, and scope controls. She earned her professional certification from the Project Management Institute and has consistently met or exceeded project performance benchmarks.
Highlighting her experience, she quickly turned around a distressed project, managing a team of twenty engineers and training specialists to create procedures for safely operating a billion-dollar energy plant. - A bilingual owner’s representative (OR) coordinating our team partners – architect, engineer, and construction prime contractor – to assure our warehouses are built and operate to our specifications. The OR also monitors relationships among team members and local governments, permitting agencies, and local subcontractors to protect our interests.
Highlighting his experience, he was selected by senior management of a global energy company to develop better process for managing their contracted professionals workforce, generating an estimated $200 million savings. - A development director who identifies and recruits the outside team members needed for simultaneous, high-rate construction at multiple sites. He has led or contributed to multiple successful bids and proposals for federal contracts for logistics services, environmental assessments, and technology development.
Throughout their careers, each member of our construction management team has produced detailed training and procedures documents, essential for our plans to construct and support operation of a nationwide food warehouse network.
