CONSTRUCTION ADMIN & OBSERVATION

IDOT CERTIFIED

 

CGA supports the continuity, quality, and intent of the design as the Construction Administrator. Construction Administration can greatly aid in keeping lines of communication and expectations of Contractors and Clients open, clear and “on the same page”.CGA can assist with contract documents, lessen project risks, identify and resolve construction problems early, and supplement the client’s construction knowledge. We can provide Construction Administration on projects that are designed by us, or contracted to perform this service without being involved in the design. CGA staff is certified through IDOT in-field testing, inspection, and contract administration.

Methods

 

CGA has implemented the use of iPads in the field to facilitate the recording of data and speed its transmission.  Reports and photos can be transmitted instantaneously between the construction representative, the project manager, and the client.  This paperless documentation saves time and allows all parties to remain fully informed when required.
