KMG consistently provides a thorough examination of construction procedures for potential conflicts that, without correct evaluation, might increase cost during construction.
KMG is often engaged on projects after serious problems have occurred and have caused overruns or delays. After identifying the need of possible intervention our project management experts quickly take action, implementing procedures to get the project back on track.

KNOWLEDGE BASE

- Significant and/or critical technical issues with the project
QUESTIONS TO ASK YOUR PRIME CONTRACTOR
- One of the main reasons for multiple RFI on a project will be from lack of sub contractors.
- Prime contractor have been moving towards limited subcontractor on their project for some time now. They are trying to save money while sacrificing quality. They will provide a team of multiple employees to do the majority of the work. Therefore limiting the knowledge and experience of the sub contactor that provides a higher quality of workmanship in that activity.
- This leads to RFIs that would not be necessary by an experienced sub contractor .
- This will also make the Inspector's and Construction management teams duties much more difficult and will slow down a project significantly by having to wait for direction or response to the RFI.
- It can build a case for the Prime Contractor through claims to untruthfully show the plans were not complete.
- When a Prime Contractor has provided the maximum amount of sub contractors to the project, the inspector will not only be welcomed but encouraged to due his/her due diligent on inspection of each activity, as the Prime Contractor will want to get maximum effort and quality for what he has paid for from his subcontractor.
- When the Prime Contractor is also the sub-contractor he looks to the inspector to be nit-picking and a nuisance. In some cases he will go as far as to accuse the inspector of slowing down his project and costing him money.
