Preliminary Engineering:
Major building systems for the project are analyzed and recommendations made for possible alternate schemes. Alternate schemes are further investigated to determine cost and schedule impact and are evaluated with the Owner and Architect to ascertain their feasibility for the project. Potential site improvement conditions are also determined and alternate cost-effective solutions are suggested.

Preliminary Estimation:
With a preliminary budget as the goal, a preliminary analysis of major building system components is prepared. Current pricing of key building parameters is determined. Variations and special requirements are determined and pricing is adjusted accordingly. As a result of this conceptual estimating effort, the Owner is presented with a realistic preliminary budget without requiring preliminary design documents.

Preliminary Scheduling:
After consultation with the Owner and Architect, major design and construction activity relationships and durations are determined and plotted. By doing this, the project team can identify areas of critical timing and key decision dates which must be met. Requirements of various governmental agencies can be identified and permits obtained in a timely manner.

Consultation:
Meetings with the Owner and Architect are held to recommend selection of building systems and materials. Alternate solutions will be suggested as particular site development problems are encountered. Recommendations are offered to the design team relating to construction methods, availability of labor and material, and time requirements for specific activities. Potential cost alternates for various design details are suggested to achieve overall project quality and economy.

Supervision:
On-site management of day-to-day construction activities is the most important of tal-Herba's services during a project's construction phase. On-site organization and lines of authority are established in order to ensure timely decisions by the project team.
Construction schedules are constantly monitored and updated. Subcontractors are continuously informed of their responsibilities and schedule status. If delays are encountered, alternate schedule procedures are recommended to the Owner in order to regain lost time.

Scheduling:
To ensure the project stays on schedule, construction completion dates are monitored by personal observance and constant checking, and followed up with monitoring of shipping dates and delivery times. Through this method, should critical delays become apparent, plans can be altered and job progress maintained.
