Project Management The Musial Group is committed to a system that oversees the progress and quality of design to assure that a standard of excellence is achieved. Our managementstructure establishes a strong central administration and point of client contact. This goal is accomplished by the project manager who has day-to-day responsibility for project administration, delivery of services and allocation of resources. He is assisted by a team of in-house and consulting professionals in a variety of disciplines: * Architects * Planners * Interior Designers * Graphic Designers * Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning Engineers * MEP Engineers * Structural Engineers * — Sanitary Engineers * — Environmental/Hazardous Materials Our management system includes staffing and time analysis techniques to assist the project manager in moni- toring job progress. We use Microsoft Project software to schedule and allocate staff in addition to preparing and monitoring construction schedules. A weekly staff meeting establishes priorities and maintains professional, high-quality service. This has resulted in an extensive list of satisfied clients whose projects were completed on time and within budget. ‘The following techniques have contributed to our successfull project management record: An agenda is forwarded in advance of each meeting, All parties can then bring appropriate reference materials, reach a consensus and make informed decisions. * Minutes or notes are prepared and distributed promptly after each meeting. * The minutes document all decisions and clarify who is responsible for taking agreed-upon actions. + _ A list of open issues is prepared prior to the completion of each phase. This functions as a checklist so that decisions can be finalized in a timely fashion.
