Project Management & Documentation

Blue Ocean Construction Inc. believes in sound project management.

We are General Contractors and therefore are hired by our Clients for our construction experience but as well to organize, manage and execute a project. The key word is organize.

We will not proceed with any project until we are satisfied that our customer's are clear on the process and procedures involved.

We spend a great deal of time in the Pre-construction phase with our clients and our staff to prepare, tender and understand the project in detail. Being organized is what our Company is about.

The following are a few examples of our management style;

1. We provide our clients with a 90 page Guide Book. This book is educational and exclusive to our clients. It was created by Blue Ocean to prepare the Owner for a construction relationship, perhaps never before experienced. It is not a construction document but rather an explaination of general procedures and suggestions during the project.
2. We provide regular project reports to advise our clients as to the work performed, the work to follow and any items or decisions that are required by the Owner.
3. We provide a detailed schedule and advise clients if the schedule changes.
4. We always provide open and detailed estimates including all costs, overhead, profit and taxes.

We offer several contract formats to suit each client. As follows;

1. Fixed cost contract: Where by the contract is based on fixed prices identifying all finishes and details. For this type of contract the plans are more detailed and a list of specifications are provided.
2. Fixed and Allowance Contract: Where by the costs are a combination of both Fixed prices and Allowance items.
3. Cost Plus: Where all costs are submitted to the Client with back up documentation on a monthly basis and the Clients pays for actual costs.
4. Management fee: Where our company acts only as a construction manager and is paid a monthly management fee. In this case the owner is the General Contractor (Owner) who assumes the warranty and Sub-contractor hire.
