Schedule Control

"You went above and beyond the call of duty with regard to researching various issues that came up during the course of construction. The information you gathered regarding these issues was most valuable in helping me make the decisions, keeping me on track from a timing standpoint...and under budget."

 

Thomas J. White, President

White Company

Our goal is to be responsible for as much of each project as possible.  By opening your project to Construction Manager Advisor participation during the design development process, you are able to utilize our staff’s strength of working with the design team and local governmental agencies at the early stages of a project’s inception.  And during construction, Richard K. Davis Construction Corporation prides itself in utilizing their own tradesmen who specialize in concrete, masonry, pre-engineered steel erection, carpentry, cabinetry and painting.  Applying our capabilities to the task of coordinating as many phases of a project, from design and permitting through final inspections and certificate of completion, we minimize the unexpected and ensure a smooth, efficient, and timely building experience.

CURRENT 10-YEAR TRACK OF SCHEDULE CONTROL

A review of our significant construction project’s track record on meeting contractual completion date obligations reveals that we secure Substantial Completion on or ahead of our target 90% of the time.  Of those not completed on time, a majority were directly impacted by three major hurricanes during the 2004 and 2005 hurricane seasons.
