MEMO To: Ms. Maxwell From: Regarding: Construction Management For your review, I've outlined some of the practices I've used in the past, which may be useful to you for the smooth running of your projects. Whether you initiate all or none is of no issue to me. I simply want to make things as smooth as possible for you and Mr. Epstein and understand your expectations of me as related to your construction projects. As I'm sure you know, all of these responsibilities combined would be a major time commitment. Typical functions of the owner's representative (as I've experienced them) • Act as owners liaison • Receive quotations • Insure owners standards are met • Presence at the job site on a regular basis • Coordinate and stage the work with the contractor or architect to insure the least amount of disruption to the household • Authorize change orders • Track change orders • Advise owner of schedule revisions or delays Meet with all the prime contractors prior to commencing construction outlining the owners "requirements" such as who is permitted on site, parking, areas permitted access, smoking, work hours, break areas, restroom facilities, etc. (This eliminates misunderstandings and the workers laying in the lawn as we saw when the gardeners were working at PB.) Workers will go out of their way to see young ladies in the home and at the pool, they will have ample opportunities to work at heights above the screen wall... EFTA00578174
