Carine supplements our project services with Construction Management (CM) during hard construction, commissioning, furniture, fixture and equipment (FF&E) installation, and turnover. Together, the owner and Carine develop a field management and staffing plan best suited to the project size, complexity, owner in-house staff, and contractor capabilities.

CM services are integrated with Carine’s PM services to ensure there are no overlaps or gaps during construction.

• Constructability Reviews (Pre-Construction)
• On-site construction management
• FF&E field coordination
• Coordinate vendor and design professional interface
• Move management
• Field document management

Some of our projects require a more technical approach to integrate facility design with specific end-user requirements. Carine’s engineers and technical Project Managers bring together the facility design team with the process team to ensure capital improvements meet the needs of the owner’s process, equipment specifications, and vendor requirements.

The Carine PM will flush out technical information during the project planning phase. When the project architect and engineers are on board, our PM will manage working design meetings to close technical scope gaps. The design collaboration is done concurrently with preliminary agency meetings to confirm permitting requirements for equipment early in the design phase.

Integrating facility and process design mitigates scope gaps resulting in efficient design, permitting, construction, and commissioning.
