Each phase has its own potential problems and passive impact upon the project progress. Find herein below our objectives in each phase to release the owner from expected futuristic problems with other parties.
  Phase 1:
Pre-Design Management
(TOP)
 
MATRIX role is to select a professional engineering consultant office based on our engineering evaluation for their qualification and compliance of their proposals with Owner’s design criteria. Any failure in this selection leads certainly for non-professional contract documents, subsequently delay of timely project completion due to excessive change orders. Hereinbelow are the tasks for MATRIX in this phase:

  • Determine Owner requirements for the project (purposes, conception, duration and budget) to set design criteria.
  • Develop criteria for selecting a list of consultant offices, who shall be invited to participate in design tender
  • Develop invitation document for design tender for the selected consultant offices.
  • Evaluate consultant proposals and recommending the Owner by our evaluation based on (compliance of design with owner desire and requirements, assigning technical staff, schedule for design drawings production and fees).
  • Develop agreements with the winner bidder.
  Phase 2:
Design Management
(TOP)
  CM role is to monitor actual design package schedule versus approved planned schedule, and soundness of contract documents to avoid delay documents. Failure to verify contract documents integrity increase the opportunity for delay of the project and liquidated damages. Hereinbelow are the tasks for MATRIX in this phase:
  • Monitor design package schedule.
  • Minimize risks of claims by measuring the soundness of contract documents.
  • Examine validity of specifications and availability for recommended manufactures for construction materials, is reflected positively upon cost of the project.
  • Verify the expected project budget as per contract documents.
  • Verify the authority approval attainment to avoid delay of project functioning.
  • Report to the Owner and prepare progress meetings.
  Phase 3:
Pre-Construction Management
