Planning

Our team will lay out a strategy, milestones and feasibility study if the project needed in order to properly prepare for every known challenge and avoid obstacles such as zoning issues requiring variances, neighborhood participation programs, city planning hearings, city council hearings and or any other process that would impact the project. Our team can efficiently facilitate and manage any of these processes.

Design Management

After our team has carefully analyzed all planning points for a project we will select the proper architect and manage the design development through construction documents based upon our client's needs and the specific project requirements from government codes.

Budget Planning

After plans have been completed including architectural, structural engineering, and MEP engineering if needed we will immediately proceed to the official bidding process which takes about 2-3 weeks for us to circulate plans to our subs, suppliers, and in-house estimating. After compiling 100% of the cost for the project we put together a detailed spreadsheet of all costs specifically detailed and broken down by category, trade, labor costs, materials costs, overhead, profit and a grand total. Our official bid will include a full detailed scope summary, detailed budget, and plans of which we sit down with our client and go over every detail and value engineer as needed for budgeting and adjust scope as needed to meet final needs and budget. Once our client is satisfied with the budget and scope we are ready to begin construction.

General Contractor

After completing planning and design, formal bidding and meeting operator, owner or developers desired budget Pentek will prepare a formal contract and upon all parties signing Pentek will submit for the permit if an application has not already been submitted. Upon receipt of the building permit, Pentek will set the project schedule and schedule initial crews and order long lead time items. Pentek will follow a critical path method of scheduling. Our attention to detail, organizational approach and experienced project managers will see through the project from commencement to substantial completion to a certificate of occupancy to project handover to owner-operator and or developer. Project hand over includes warranty explanation, systems instruction and leaving our client with confidence and security that Pentek will continue to be there for them during the transition and breaking into a new building.​
