ProWest will assist you during the design phase to help improve your project performance by managing cost, quality, and time.

Cost Management

• Quantity surveys and detailed estimates at regular intervals, and involving key trade contractors.
• Value engineering and cost reduction analysis at regular intervals through productive, formal sessions that focus on project improvement.
• Proforma and cash flow Analysis to assist in securing project financing, and for financial decision making.
• Contractor bid management to aggressively pursue the lowest possible cost with complete scope coverage, the highest quality contractor and the lowest chance of future claims.

Quality Management

We focus on reducing errors and omissions, avoiding change orders, preventing claims, and specifying products efficiently.

• Detailed design review/quality control at regular intervals to catch problems before they become changes in the field.
• Constructability analysis to look for a better way to design details, to select readily available products, to conform to local market
  conditions, and to anticipate construction logistics.
• Coordination with plant operation and maintenance personnel to get their input on design and specifications.
  

Time Management

• Fast track and early bid package management.
• CPM scheduling with emphasis on both design and construction.
• Project meetings biweekly, led by ProWest, to insure adherence to project schedule.
• Long lead Item identification and procurement.
• Project phasing analysis.
• "What if" scenarios to develop scheduling alternatives.

                         If you involve ProWest early in the design, and make us part of your design phase team,
                                                    your project will enjoy a much higher degree of success.
