| CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT (page: 2) Progress and Quality Procedures MBI will oversee the compilation of the owner�s project files and will manage any project audit the client wishes to perform. All progress reports are included in our service and are presented to the owner with scheduled frequency. At the end of the project, MBI will catalog and turn over the project files to the owner for their use. As the Owner�s Representative, MBI will be responsible for the communications and coordination of the construction team. We do this by establishing protocol for all parties to abide. As a part of this service, we attend weekly owner review and progress meetings with those resources involved with the construction. We coordinate all construction activities with any other ongoing operations of the owner at the jobsite. This includes the management of utility shutdowns, traffic and staging requirements, and owner occupancy. MBI manages the quality assurance program and verifies that all required testing and procedures are performed as outlined by the design team. We monitor any disputes that may arise and see to it that the resolution does not negatively impact the project. MBI�s approach is for quick and informal resolution. If it becomes necessary, we will lead the owner�s effort in coordinating formally with legal counsel.
