CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT
Once all Planning has been completed by Pre-CONSTRUCTION Services and Planning, WOWMAN Construction Company will begin the construction phase of the project. During this phase typical services that will be provided are:
SITE LOGISTICS, WORK PLAN & SAFETY
The appointed team will establish and render a step-by-step process by accessing logistical requirements for the different construction focus areas such as constraint, deliveries, traffic pattern, placement of barriers or fencing and hours of operation. We will also develop a site-specific safety plan that outlines the safety issues specifically pertaining to the project. As part of our work plan, we will ascertain other work rules and regulations that the building or project may impose. At this time, we will develop the quality assurance program that will be reviewed with each subcontractor and supplier. This quality assurance program will be accessed and emphasized at the weekly subcontractor meetings.
ORDERING & PURCHASING
As the bids are reviewed by the project manager, he/she will award and write sub-contracts and/or purchase orders to sub-contractors or suppliers. This will ensure that they are tied to the scope, price, schedule, safety regulations, and other defined protocols and regulations and a contractual commitment to perform their work in accordance with the order, design, plans and to commit to the highest standards of quality.
LICENSING & PERMITTING
As Explained in our Pre-Construction processes, WOWMAN will apply for and obtain all required permits from the authorities having jurisdiction over the project. We will also ensure that all sub-contractors obtain all the required permits that they are responsible for such as electrical, low, or high voltage wiring, and plumbing. A copy of all this documentation is available to the owner and will be posted in an online Project File which will allow access through secure passcodes.

The field superintendent will oversee coordinating all field activities, subcontractors, and supplier deliveries.
