Project Management Methods

OTAK Group, Inc.'s approach to each job is systematically laid out. The methods include conducting a design review, establishing an estimate, and implementing a cost control program; we will develop a schedule, and implement and maintain a quality control program throughout the entire project.

Option Analysis

Option analysis affords the Customer an opportunity to find cost savings without sacrificing quality. OTAK Group, Inc. will use its understanding of first time cost savings, long term maintenance, life cycle costs and project schedule impact to provide the best project for the available budget dollars. OTAK Group, Inc. continues to assist school districts, municipal, governmental agencies, and private owners and their design teams in analyzing all of the above factors in this phase of the project. OTAK Group, Inc. performs the Option Analysis and reviews the results with the Customer to ensure that the chosen systems are consistent with the objectives of the project.

Design Review and Constructability Analysis

OTAK Group, Inc. will work with our Customer to incorporate into the design documents the options that have been approved during the Option Analysis process. Also at the onset of the project, OTAK Group, Inc. will analyze the systems for the project, and consider factors such as the sequencing of construction activities, availability of materials and labor, and equipment access for maintenance and replacement. Recommendations will be made for design details and the equipment systems are tracked to make sure they are properly designed, procured, delivered and installed. Recommendations are made throughout construction to maintain cost/schedule/quality controls.

Budget Estimating

OTAK Group, Inc. has estimated a multitude of projects. This experience, combined with cost history reports of projects, allows us to develop responsive estimates. An initial estimate of the cost of construction is developed, taking into consideration the Customer's project goals, i.e., performance, quality, and time constraints, in order to substantiate the Customer's budget.

Value Engineering

OTAK Group continually provides alternate schemes for improving costs, constructability and serviceability by analyzing different systems and identifying alternatives throughout the life of the Project. While reducing the cost is always a goal, the lowest cost system is not always the best value. Practicality and long-term value is always a factor while satisfying aesthetic, form and function requirements.

Life Cycle Cost Analysis

Our staff regularly performs life cycle cost studies on various elements of a design. The following are costs taken into consideration when performing a Life Cycle Cost Analysis:

Capital Investment (First Costs)

These include initial costs associated with an item to be analyzed such as: direct construction costs, architect and engineering fees, contractors fees, legal fees, other consultants fees and land acquisition expenses.

Financing Costs

These are considered; they may vary from one item to another.

Operational Costs

The costs associated with the operation of the item or system i.e. fuel, operating personnel, taxes and insurance.

Maintenance Costs

These costs are for the overall analysis.

Replacement Costs

These costs are significant while comparing alternative items and the life span of an item.

Other costs which might require consideration are: salvage value, lost revenue and added occupancy costs.
