Procurement Strategy & Management

Selecting the correct procurement strategy for a project is key. Based on our client’s principle objectives in relation to cost and schedule certainty, risk, quality of design, workmanship and program, we can undertake a review of these objectives, and provide recommendations for the procurement strategy which best achieves these objectives.
Selecting the most appropriate team is equally important. We can evaluate the most suitable designers, contractors, and suppliers for a project based upon scope, content, complexity, procurement, and the need for specialist knowledge and innovative thinking.

Contract Procurement & Administration

Contract Procurement

Not every client has a background in construction, and it is our goal to aid clients in navigating the construction process seamlessly. Once procurement strategy is set, RLB will oversee the solicitation process, review the terms of contract, review the quality of bids, and provide a recommendation for approval. This service enables us to assist you in building the most capable and skilled team of contractors and subconsultants for your project.

Contract Administration

RLB’s understanding of the construction process enables us to provide best practice tools, systems, and procedures for contract administration. Using RLB’s templates, our specialists provide value-add to the construction phase by evaluating the quality and timeliness of contract documentation provided by project team members.
RLB contributes to the development of a complete and accurate project record through project reporting. We document project progress, highlight project risks, and evaluate consultant, contractor, and vendor deliverables. We also provide cost management support ensuring changes in the work are sufficiently identified and resolved as needed to meet the project budget and schedule.

Site Management

RLB has managed a variety of properties, and construction sites, on behalf of our clients around the world. We have developed in-house tools, templates, procedures, and processes that have proven efficient and effective in successfully managing site-specific requirements for all stakeholders.
RLB’s role as a site manager demonstrates one of our core strengths: promoting project and team performance through oversight of resource utilization, schedule and risk management, and compliance with health, safety, and building ordinance regulatory requirements.
