Over the past
several years, Crissman Commercial Services
personnel have completed several million dollars
of building renovation and tenant improvement
work acting as the General Contractor and
Construction Manager.
CCS Tenant Construction Representatives
coordinate every phase of construction,
from initial preliminary design to the tenant's
acceptance of the space, so that the process
works smoothly. Selection of the General
Contractor and subcontractors is based on
bidding and quality reviews. Each contractor
must demonstrate financial stability, be
able to commit a foreman to the project,
and show a high level of technical competence.
We check all references and visit past projects
to check the quality of work.
During construction, changes in the work
will often occur. We have the flexibility
to respond to those changes and implement
them in an expeditious manner. Utilizing
a system of document control and update
meetings ensures that all changes are handled
with minimum disruption to the schedule.
Prior to project completion, the CCS Construction
Representatives schedule a final walk-through
of the project, which the relevant parties
(e.g., Tenant, Property Manager, and Space
Planner) also attend. Any incomplete punch
items are identified at the walk-through.
These items are required to be completed
by CCS or the General Contractor within
30 days. Lease Commencement Agreements are
often based upon the occurrence of this
walk-through and the Tenant acceptance of
the premises. Therefore, CCS takes great
care and diligence to expedite the schedule
for the earliest completion date possible
without jeopardizing the project’s
integrity.
