PROJECT EVALUATION
Our focus in the early phases of a developing project is to establish realistic budgets and schedules and identify all the probable costs.

Land Costs | Entitlements
Design and Engineering
Permits and Utilities
Hard Construction Costs
Oversight and Management
Equipment Systems | Furnishings
Disruption Impacts | Financing
On-going maintenance cost and contingencies

All costs and timelines are reviewed to make sure the impacts to the project may be fully understood before deciding to go forward. PMI wants to help make sure the project has been considered from all viewpoints and truly fits the client’s goals.

SELECTION OF TEAM MEMBERS
We set up a clear process for the selection of architects, designers, engineers, contractors, and other system experts as required. PMI ensures that every project receives the best value from each professional. The selection process defines what will be expected from each team member.

BUDGETS & SCHEDULING
PMI leads in identifying all costs that may be incurred and helps the client understand what can be afforded within the assigned bottom line. Once set, we do not deviate from the defined budget without the client’s approval. PMI monitors the progress of spending and particularly watches for developing change orders in order to exercise budget controls. We can also prepare and process draws from our client’s funding source.

DESIGN REVIEW
PMI is experienced in maintaining many commercial and institutional buildings, and as a result of this we have accumulated considerable experience with building systems that we can bring to the design effort. We constantly review the drawings as they develop throughout the design stage to ensure that our client’s needs are met.

PERMIT PROCUREMENT
PMI is adept at procuring entitlements and building permits. These include, but are not limited to, grading, environmental, fire, utility, water, wells, septic/sewer, and building.

CONSTRUCTION OVERSIGHT
During the construction phase PMI performs the follow activities:

• Represent our client in review of the design and construction documents and inspect the progress of the work.

• Arrange for special inspections and testing or any other professional help that may be necessary.

• Coordinate with the architect, the contractor, and our client to establish clear communications resulting in smooth progress of the project and avoidance of potential problems.

• Review and monitor all requests for information and request for changes in the scope and cost of the work.

• Review all invoices and submit them to our client for approval and payment. It is crucial that we review all invoices to be charged to the project so that we can account for the entire project budget.

• Ensure that proper insurance coverage and bonds are always in place.
  Report on all aspects of the project to our client and/or other pertinent parties.
  

FF&E PROCUREMENT
PMI offers purchasing services for furniture, providing a high level of attention and responsiveness to each client. Our procurement work has ranged from hotels and wineries to schools and private residences. PMI acts as the agent for the client in sourcing and procuring furniture, fixtures, accessories and operating supplies. We work extensively with the project team, determining approval procedures, schedules, budgets, and later overseeing the shipping and installation.

PROJECT CLOSEOUT & ONGOING MAINTENANCE SUPPORT
As the project reaches completion, PMI oversees the close-out phase to ensure that all punch lists are complete, maintenance and operation manuals are submitted, training for our client’s operating staff is coordinated, warranties are put in place, any liens or waivers are filled, records, drawings and files are completed and provided to our client. Then final contractor payments can be made.

Records are kept throughout the project (including photographs) for future reference or audits. All our files will be left in good order for our client’s keeping. We are here to provide continual support and serve as a resource for the completed project in the years to come.
