open line of traceable communication between parties and to always keep the owner informed. With Hill's project control systems, managing and coordinating change orders and time/cost-analysis assures owners that they are charged fairly for incremental work and are protected from paying for work that has been deleted due to change orders. The key is to resolve any change-order issues quickly so the project avoids delay and resulting cost overruns. Hill International has successfully prepared cost estimates on projects ranging from the thousands to the billions of dollars in support of planning, design, and construction, as well as support in the resolution of claims. Our Project Controls Department ensures the accurate estimation of construction costs by becoming a partner with the assigned A/E team with one goal: provide a design that is within budget, on time, and meets the design goals of the owner. Our approach to estimating is simple-provide as much detail as possible in a well-organized manner. Hill's estimating services include program budget estimates, conceptual estimates, progress design estimates, and estimating support during construction. i l Hill's time management and scheduling services use state-of-the art computer systems to develop a master project schedule in addition to individual schedules for each project. We sequence construction to maximize value and minimize site disruptions. Design phase scheduling covers the development of l all design phase activities including: team review/coordination meetings, milestone delivery dates for all 1 project deliverables, cost estimates, and owner approvals. At the beginning of the construction phase, I Hill's scheduler works with the contractor to develop a detailed construction schedule in order to identify any constraints in meeting the contract requirements and to validate that the contractor has sufficiently f developed the sequencing and phasing of all construction tasks. On a regular basis (weekly/monthly), ? we review the construction schedule with the contractor to identify any problems and to assist in the development of a detailed time line that helps short range implementation of the detailed schedule. If f the review detects an item that may delay the project, we work with the contractor to develop a recovery schedule as required to maintain contractual requirements for completion. `? ?• Constr QualityControl Success h A L IL City of Santa Ana I Public Works Agency Page 19 First Street Bridge Replacement I Construction Management
