Administrative Program:
If requested
by the client, our management team is
able to take total administrative control
of the project. At the onset of a project,
we develop a comprehensive procedures
manual, which then becomes the working
tool for managing major aspects of the
project.
Schedule Control:
Schedule control
may vary from a simple bar chart and
logic diagram to sophisticated computer-
aided program review and evaluation or
critical path methods. We set milestone
dates contractually at the time of bidding
and establish interface dates, which
forms the basis for monitoring work
progress.
Cost Control Effectiveness:
DCE has
an excellent record for cost estimating
accuracy. This task is accomplished
through close coordination of our cost
estimators, designers, and field staff.
Consultation During Design:
The
greatest opportunity to achieve overall
project cost-effectiveness occurs during
the design phase. We emphasize
constructability reviews through the design
process.
