PROCUREMENT
Prior to the construction phase, Architerion Consulting interacts with the relevant authorities to secure the necessary project approvals and permits in a timely manner. This coordination effort is critical and can be prolonged if left to the design team alone, as they may not have the same level of urgency due to their lack of ownership in the project.
Architerion Consulting also manages the contractor bidding and trade buyout process. Whether the plan is to use a General Contractor, multiple prime Contractors, or direct Subcontractors, formal Request for Proposals ("RFPs") will be issued and sent to at least three different contractors for each trade to ensure sufficient coverage through competitive bidding. All returned bids will be thoroughly evaluated and a comprehensive bid comparison presented to the client prior to awarding any contract. After the "apples-to-apples" bid comparison has been compiled for a particular trade, negotiations will commence to establish a complete scope of work that is cost-effective.
Additionally, to save costs, materials and equipment may be purchased directly through a purchase order to the client. Similar to the trade work, pricing will be obtained from at least three vendors to ensure sufficient coverage through competition. Architerion Consulting will oversee this process to ensure that the client receives the best value for their investment.
