Identify alternative options for funding if needed
When securing funding allow for 10% cost overrun
Identify concurrent task
Agree with GC to obtain alternate resources in case of issues or challenges with
contractors
Place incentives in the contract to keep workforce motivated
Identify alternate materials sourcing and substitutes if availability becomes an issue
Scale down project for suitable payback
Utilize overrun funding and have additional resources/labor available to assist with
remediation and timelines
Identify what can be done if weather is a factor (Allow for flexible schedule)
As part of the contract all permits will be obtained before ground is broken
Be prepared and ready to renew permits that are at risk of expiring. Monitor permits
during weekly status updates with GC
Utilize overrun funding
Order all critical items ahead of schedule to provide time for inspection/approval. If
needed, hire movers to pick-up heavy items from store for same-day delivery to site.
Cover milestones during weekly status updates with GC
