PMA Role
During preconstruction, PMA staff played a pivotal role in facilitating a seamless project initiation process. This involved active participation in key activities such as attending the preconstruction kickoff meeting and conducting a review and reconciliation of both the project schedule and schedule of values. To bolster project planning and risk assessment, PMA orchestrated interactive planning sessions and dedicated risk assessment meetings. PMA’s involvement extended to field coordination and oversight, as well as job site coordination meetings to facilitate open lines of communication and productive collaboration among project stakeholders. Detailed daily field reports were provided to document on-site progress and activities. Additionally, PMA compiled monthly project progress reports of the project’s advancement to stakeholders. Upholding a commitment to transparent communication and issue resolution, PMA staff also held monthly meetings with an ELS lead.
