We are looking to standardize the Upfront Document and Cost Review process prior to the beginning of construction until commencement of construction. The process prior to construction beginning will vary greatly for each project, however the Upfront Document and Cost Review process remains the same all project types. The processes includes: by performing an inspection, interviews, reviewing project related documentation, request appropriate documentation, communication of the findings for the inspection/document review, and issuance of the report with the findings and recommendations prior to commencement of construction
