scheduleICON General Contractors recognizes and is fully committed to achieving our client’s completion dates. The initial and critical steps ICON will take to ensure this completion date are:
ICON's schedules are reflective of the actual scope of work. The schedules are not generic and take into account the specific activities required by the construction documents. Our schedule includes the necessary accommodations for the client’s separate vendors including the low-voltage cabling vendor, the security system vendor and the systems furniture vendor. These vendors will be included in our field progress meetings and coordination correspondence to ensure a well-planned project. In order to achieve our schedules, the critical or long-lead materials will be identified and tracked aggressively for delivery. We will recommend meetings to review submittals with the appropriate vendors and the design team in order to expedite the release process, determine field measurements in advance to the extent possible, and early release of critical trades. |
