BET often assists in the buyout program, including the preparation of scope statements, the review of designated construction documents, and review and opinion of contractor proposals. These buyouts are frequently driven and refined by the contractors as the program advances. In order to maintain ‘Lean’ project scheduling and efficiencies, it is often necessary to provide services for early release construction packages to specialty vendors or subcontractor trades. BIDDING/BUYOUTS:ĭuring the preparation of construction documents and subsequent issuance for tender, the process of bidding often includes unique contractor proposals, qualifications, and value engineering review. Advise on appropriate mockup construction for possible testing evaluation.īET recently completed the South College building at Umass Amherst.Review all available testing data and establish such other testing protocol as may be appropriate for the evaluation and integration of the building envelope construction.Provide memorandum and similar correspondence as required during the design process for the refinement of systems and preliminary pricing options, if required.Meet with the project team, as well as any proposed systems vendors, in order to review all preliminary drawing and technical information available for proposed systems.Provide recommendations to improve integration and cost savings where possible. Provide opinions as to the constructability of proposed systems capability with adjacent materials.Provide consulting advice as necessary for testing and performance and quality control assurance. Review the appropriate performance criteria for various building envelope constructions associated with air and water pressures.Provide design detailing consultation sketches to the architect as required.Review all related technical specifications and provide redline comment and edit as appropriate.Additionally, general systems concepts will be refined. Provide a phased review of the construction documents, including specifications and detail drawings, so as to identify conditions for which alternative or special detailing might be appropriate or expense issues are not clearly noted.Receive from the architect the final design development documents, including plans, details, specifications, and engineering design parameters for all related building envelope components including, but not limited to, roofs, walls, structural systems, fenestration, waterproofing, and sealants.Meet with the project team as required.Assist the architect by providing redline markups of specifications and existing drawings as appropriate and in keeping with the level of detail development.
Provide technical assistance for the architect and the specifications writer in establishing initial construction and system components.Provide recommendations to improve integrated performance and cost savings where possible.Provide opinions as to the constructability of the proposed systems and compatibility with associated and adjacent materials.
