Progress Inspections & Reports
The design is complete, permits are in place, the contractor has been selected…now it’s time to build. This is the “verification” part of the process and your OPM is the only person on the project team whose primary purpose is to make sure that you, as the Owner, are getting exactly what you planned for and paid for. Day-to-day inspections and verification can sometimes be performed by a Clerk-of-the-Works working directly for the Owner.
Representative Projects
Fairfield Center School, Art and Music Addition
Fairfield, Vermont
2020
PCI served as Project Manager of the addition of new art, music, and intervention rooms at Fairfield Center School of the Maple Run Unified School District. This project expanded the spaces available in the school and created new dedicated spaces for the arts. This project also included newly paved parking lots and sidewalks. Additionally, modern and code compliant fire alarms were installed throughout the school along with a new electrical service. Thanks to the project team and Hunter's diligent work, this project was completed on time and under budget. Overall, this project was well executed with a very positive experience working with the Owner.

This project was completed on time and under budget.

Testimonials
“In 2011, Champlain College hired Tom to provide Owner's Representation services for a residential dormitory project under construction at its campus in Burlington, Vermont. The Project, which is a steel-fame, brick veneered, multi-level structure containing 95 residential rooms and other programming elements, was completed this summer.
Since being hired shortly after the start of construction last summer, Tom quickly became the direct link between senior and planning management staff at the College and the Project team (design and construction professionals hired by the College). In this capacity, Tom was directly involved in all aspects of the construction process, including monitoring progress, attending job meetings, reviewing design documents and contract administration.
Tom possesses a firm grasp of the technical details associated with the Project as well as scheduling and sequencing skills required to complete the work, quickly and efficiently. Just as important, Tom has impressed me with his communication skills and personality. Regardless of the nature of the project-related interaction (with a subcontractor, vendor, public official or Owner), my observation is that Tom is direct, thoughtful, positive and collegial.
The College will be utilizing Tom's skill set for the next two dormitories to be constructed, and I highly recommend Tom for challenging construction projects requiring a diligent and knowledgeable construction professional on the ground.”
