Construction Management Projects

Forensic Sciences Facility, Roanoke, VA

This is a state-of-the-art forensics sciences facility. The project total was $12.5 million and featured a full-service chemistry laboratory, DNA testing laboratory, toxicology lab, ballistics, latent prints lab, and an autopsy laboratory.  This 19-month project included construction administration, scheduling monitoring, scheduling recovery recommendations, change order reviews, and scheduling of owner-furnished equipment.  During startup procedures for each of the various systems noted above, our on-site administrator had to be present to ensure proper working conditions. The complexity of the mechanical, electrical, and security systems made this project exceptionally challenging.

 

Henry County Courthouse, Martinsville, VA

This $8 million courthouse features courtrooms, judges chambers, a law library, magistrate’s offices, Commonwealth Attorney’s Offices, and a security holding area.  This 15-month project consisted of overall construction administration and on-site inspection. Responsibilities included scheduling monitoring, change order reviews, coordination between the contractor and owner-furnished vendors, and periodic reporting to the County’s Board of Supervisors.

 

Henry County School System, Henry County, Virginia

There were a total of six elementary and high schools requiring new gymnasium and classroom additions, as well as an entire HVAC/piping retrofit. The objective of these projects was to accomplish the work without closing any of the schools.  Services consisted of oversight of the bidding process, recommendations to the school board, reviews of contractors’ schedules, on-site inspections and administration, and periodic reports to the school board regarding progress.  Work on the six schools occurred simultaneously and with multiple prime contractors.

F&R was selected by Bovis Lend Lease and approved by the Smithsonian Institute to represent the team as the Quality Assurance/Quality Control Coordinator for the Museum.  In this capacity, F&R provided oversight and monitoring of ongoing construction activities by Bovis and their subcontractors.  Furthermore, F&R participated in change order reviews and other project control duties.  As an inspection/testing representative for the construction management team, F&R was responsible for documenting the daily construction activities at the site.  This was done through daily reporting (Prolog) as well as photo documentation.  F&R also reviewed contractor’s activities with a focus on field quality control, including inspection and testing.  In addition, review of all test and inspection reports that were submitted by the contractor’s testing agency or other representatives is conducted on a daily basis.
