PROJECT MANAGEMENT OVERVIEW
Krech Ojard professionals work within an established framework for implementing a uniform system and developing an appropriate plan for the delivery of KOA engineering and/or architectural services to projects in a timely, cost-effective and client-focused manner, constantly maintaining QA/QC.
Within Krech Ojard & Associates – each project is placed in the hands of an assigned Project Delivery Team (PDT), and a single Project Delivery Manager (PDM) for management and leadership of the project through its entire life cycle, even when more than one KO discipline is involved. The PDM is responsible and accountable for the PDT taking effective, coordinated actions to deliver the completed project according to the Project Delivery Plan. The PDM, is typically the sole contact with clients, manages all project resources, information and commitments, and leads and facilitates the PDT towards effective project development and delivery. This insures that each individual project is managed in a quality manner – regardless of the overall number of disciplines and/or agencies with which KO is involved at any given point in time
KO uses the capabilities of the latest versions of Microsoft Project®, or Primavera®, to establish and implement as well as maintain all project schedules and cost controls. All KO personnel has access to our Microsoft Project Program continuously allowing the team to seamlessly communicate and coordinate project-related information. Primavera professionals on staff utilize this powerful all in one scheduling tool to better coordinate and project timelines for clients.
These tools have the built in capability to determine the impact of a change on all other dependent tasks. This allows yet another avenue that KO will utilize to keep the project on schedule and within budget. KO uses the Microsoft Project Program to provide all involved parties with access to minute reports and information on resources, costs, progress, schedules, change orders and work logs. Finally, Microsoft Project allows KO to quickly establish a schedule and control system, increasing our productivity while decreasing time and cost associated with project start-up.
Krech Ojard & Associates' basis for delivering a quality job is deploying a knowledgeable, experienced design-build team. Our design team is comprised of certified professionals, knowledgeable of current regulations and methods, with a long history of successful implementation of site-work projects.
