Pike ... guarantees dramatic
savings when you talk to us in the planning phase and let
us help you select a design team.
The Pike company is a can-do company
with a proven record of success.
Pike puts at your command the most
advanced computerized estimating, scheduling and value engineering
systems found in the construction industry today. We use cutting
edge computers and software to evaluate various construction methods
and to determine the most cost effective approach to your project.
In fact, we require all of our professional staff to be more than
just computer literate.
We effectively partner with you and
help you conduct brainstorming, project, financial or management
meetings, utilizing advanced computer technologies so that you
and/or your staff are always in control.
With Pike's Proprietary CompuLink, everyone sees the
same thing at the same time. Which means you can share and view
common data, drawings, other information ... and even see each
other from the comfort of your own office. It's great for
conducting meetings with participants who are miles away. And,
because CompuLink gives you immediate access to the project information,
you're in the driver's seat.
We utilize top construction managers
and supervisors to monitor and direct the progress of construction
activities.
Pike construction service personnel
regularly review engineering architectural drawings and specifications
with you. We also monitor the progress to ensure compliance with
plans and specifications - every step of the way. Our construction
management team meets regularly with you and other contractors,
managers and design professionals, to monitor and coordinate
all phases of your project. We're one team. Seamless. Efficient.
We avoid cost overruns because we
regularly assess and reassess construction costs.
We prepare and review daily reports
of progress and requirements for labor, material, machinery, and
equipment at the construction site.
We are always on call to deal quickly
and appropriately with accidents, delays, and bad weather and
our CompuLink System, combined with Internet, digital photography, and other technology
allows us to instantly show a problem and come up with a solution before it can grow.
We do not work 40 hours a week; we
work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to get the job done right ...
the first time ... and deliver it ahead of schedule.
Our field superintendents are always
alert to and actively manage the safety aspects of fast-track
construction ... so the work goes faster, easier, and safer without
jeopardizing quality.
We have special forces, with pinpoint
expertise ready, to become an extension of your team to help you
get your job done more quickly and more cost effectively... with quality and extra value
... with guaranteed savings in both time and money.
Construction Management, especially
in the K-12 Educational Market, is the 'delivery' system proven to be the
most cost effective; proven, especially by Pike, to return to clients
dramatic savings on their project. However, many School Districts and
many Architects still look with favor on a Clerk of the Works or an
Architectural Rep, as low-cost alternatives to meaningful Construction
Management.
Pike will prove to you this is not true.
Many Designers tell the Owner, "You
can cut costs if you bring in a Clerk or if you let us handle
the management of your project." The reality of this approach
is that the Owner usually loses out on the potentially big savings
that can come only when an experienced CM/GC, like Pike, manages
the preconstruction and construction processes for them.
Pike saved the South Lewis Central
School District over $900,000 on a $17 million project,
more than double all fees and reimbursables ... and, Pike guarantees
similar savings to every one of its CM clients. Substantial
savings that could not have been matched by a Clerk of
the Works or by a Design Firm, using its own forces.
The construction management process
should only be delivered by an experienced K-12 Construction Manager
who, like Pike, maintains an active General Contracting Division
... just as the design function should be handled solely by a
professional firm focused on K-12 facilities.
The Pike Company, as your Construction Manager, brings you the
expertise and systems
Clerks of the Works simply do not possess. And Pike, as your
CM, acts as your representative, protecting the District's
interest at all times, start to finish, a design Professional cannot do
that! Pike is your consultant
regarding scheduling and coordination of all design and construction
processes over the life of your project. From negotiating and
obtaining all the necessary permits and licenses, to helping your
team brainstorm decisions, to making sure safety codes are met,
we partner with you to plan, budget and direct your project.
