Managing the Construction Process

“Early warning” techniques used in the office and in the field are the foundation of McFarland-Johnson's construction administration services. During the earliest phases of construction, time and cost control to meet your budget are of primary importance to McFarland-Johnson's construction administrators.

Cost control, contractor scheduling and staffing, and assuring compliance with drawings and specifications are the construction administrator's direct responsibilities. We work to win your confidence through accurate, regular reporting, and our ability to guide you smoothly through the construction process. Our construction staff has the expertise needed to develop critical path schedules and reporting processes appropriate for each unique combination of consultants, contractors, and materials.

McFarland-Johnson's construction administrators have access to in-house staff with backgrounds in civil, environmental, mechanical, electrical and structural engineering, estimating, bidding, coordination of trades, scheduling, claims evaluation, M/W/DBE goal compliance, value engineering and funding administration. Our technical expertise is backed up by a network of PCs and CADD workstations, providing computerized management of project scheduling, contracts, costs, and other information.
