The Private Meeting
Supplemental to the Preconstruction Jobsite Conference
In the last issue of Design Cost Data™ we discussed the pre-construction jobsite conference, a meeting before the start of construction where all the construction participants can meet and get to know each other. They can discuss scheduling, project characteristics, and the contract requirements. They can find out what is expected of them and get their questions answered. The object is to improve communications and cooperation among all those involved on the construction site.
An additional meeting is needed among architect, owner, and contractor to discuss other contractual matters that are of no direct concern to the subcontractors and suppliers.
