Consulting for New Market Entrants

In the contracting environment most start-up enterprises fail due to a lack of informed planning, accurate knowledge of the marketplace, communication failures with the Contracting Authority, and misunderstandings of the differences in business cultures among global regions.

CarobyCM interviews potential new market entrants to determine performance potential, commitment level, areas of expertise and requirements for assistance in producing successful proposals. We conduct this initial extensive telephone interview at no cost to a potential new contractor.

Bear in mind, while yours may be a new firm, you bring years, perhaps decades, of professional knowledge and wisdom to this endeavour and you are not new to success. CarobyCM’s consulting expertise will help you transition from your previous successes to your future success as a contractor to the USGOV, creating mutually beneficial long-term relationships as your business evolves. And we remain available to our new Clients 24/7; call anytime, we are invested in your success.

Core Areas of Expertise

Expert feasibility study production utilizing input from a series of meetings with all the potential stakeholders to determine the requirements for the project based in practicality and ultimate Client profitability.
Extensive experience in creating market presence for new firms engaging in first-time contracting with the USGOV.
Capability to produce Rough Order of Magnitude cost estimates at percent levels requested by Client.
Proficient constructability review of plans and specifications to ensure accuracy and proper detail of construction plans. Our broadly experienced Engineers conserve time and money with creative designs and technical problem-solving.
Supply top performers at all levels of the project organizational chart with effective human resource planning and placement. It is demonstrably evident that our competent, respectful and safe Leaders, Supervisors, Foremen and Tradesmen are more productive and effective than our competition.
Employ Lean Construction techniques to manage a project through relationships and shared goals between all stakeholders in order to maximize value and minimize waste, a proven methodology.
We exercise Earned Value Management (EVM) to schedule, measure, and check the scope of project performance throughout the project life cycle.

CarobyCM will conduct a detailed Feasibility Study to assist in developing a project budget, schedule and requirements for initiating a project. This feasibility study includes a conceptual design, site investigation such as geotechnical and utility infrastructure, cost estimating including construction costs, project management fees, financing requirements and investigation into any issue that will have an effect on the outcome of the project. We will generate a report to indicate if the project is feasible and what will be required to move forward with the project.

Our Leaders will employ Value Engineering to evaluate construction methods and materials to determine which have the net result of reducing costs, consistent with specified performance and financial goals.

We utilize a CSI Master Format system of numbers and titles for organizing construction information into a regular, standard sequence. By establishing a master list of titles and numbers the Master Format promotes standardization and thereby facilitates the retrieval of information and improves construction communication. It provides a uniform system for organizing information in project manuals, for organizing project cost data, and for filing product information and other technical data.

CarobyCM can produce all required Quantity Take-offs by our estimators to acquire the detailed measurements of material and labor force needed to complete the project. This helps the project developers to have full knowledge of what to expect during the construction phase.

In addition, we can manage the Submittal / Transmittal process to the Authorities Having Jurisdiction with shop drawings, material data, samples, and product data, which are required by architects and engineers to verify that the correct products will be installed.

Prior to beginning field work we will produce a complete Work Breakdown Structure to delineate work into manageable portions so that each level of the WBS is readily understood by the project team. Our Project team creates this WBS by analysing the major contract deliverables and then dividing them into sub-deliverables. This dividing process is continued until each task is assigned to a single person or element.

We develop a detailed work plan to identify and adhere to the Critical Path activities that must be completed on time for the project completion date to be met, as these activities have no slack time. Our baselines are used to measure the performance of the project from the perspectives of schedule, cost and scope.

The CarobyCM Quality Assurance program defines the approach to prevent errors and departures from requirements at the project level. Our Quality Control audits and inspections certify that the QA program is effective, and the deliverables are accurately achieved.

The Caroby Contract Administrators successfully negotiate contractual matters directly with Contracting Authorities to the benefit of our Clients with extensive knowledge of the Federal Acquisition Regulations and other relevant contracting guidelines including the DOS FAM and FAA, while minimizing administrative operating costs.

We can produce or modify the project Scope of Work as requested through consultation with relevant project personnel and define the actual work to be done, to be presented to the Client either on a drawing or as a separate document, or both. Also included will be a suggested set of General Conditions as set forth by the owner stipulating the contractor’s minimum acceptable performance requirements including the rights, responsibilities and relationships of the parties involved in the performance of the contract.

CarobyCM can perform under a variety of contracting vehicles to include:

JOC – Job Ordering Contracting (JOC) is a way for organizations to get numerous, commonly encountered construction projects done quickly and easily through multi-year contracts. JOC can reduce unnecessary levels of engineering, design, and contract procurement time along with construction project procurement costs by awarding a long-term contract for a wide variety of renovation, repair and construction projects.
Design-Bid-Build – The Client may contract with a design firm to design a building and then solicit bids from contractors to build. Contractors typically solicit bids from several subcontractors in order to obtain accurate costs and schedule proposal to submit. Usually the lowest priced technically acceptable bids are selected.
Design-Build – In the Design-Build project delivery model, the Client contracts solely with CarobyCM to manage both the design and construction on a project. This promotes early collaboration in the design phase to reduce risk during the construction phase and avoids conflicts between multiple teams involved. It is a project delivery system in which the design and the construction are considered single-point-responsibility, with the goal of reducing costs and delivering the project on time.
Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) – In an IPD model, CarobyCM, an architect, and a Client enter into a single multi-party contract which spreads the risk and incentives among all the stakeholders.
Integrated Labor Delivery (ILD) – CarobyCM manages subcontractors who perform 80-100% of the labor on the construction project. An Integrated Labor Delivery model brings the labor component closer to the IPD framework resulting in this component beginning at the design stage. ILD streamlines the process from design through prefabrication and assembly and presents a united framework to a Client.

CarobyCM will produce the Schedule of Values to list the work items on a project corresponding with their value to represent the entire amount of a construction contract. We utilize this schedule of values in conjunction with processing pay applications on behalf of our Client if requested.

We emphasize and educate on the FAR (Federal Acquisition Regulations) and the importance of strict compliance with these laws, with a full understanding of the penalties for non-compliance.

The USGOV is looking for a performer, not a middle man. A contractor must be prepared and dedicated to delivering on contractual obligations. CarobyCM will help to clearly identify a new firm’s capabilities so that you do not take on more than you can handle in the first project. The first project for a new firm should be successful.

CarobyCM will assist with building realistic budgets and proposals, thinking of all details from initial planning to project close out documentation and warranty period responsibilities. Your proposal to the USGOV must stand on its own for a completely objective review by a USGOV Technical Evaluation Board. You may never meet the people making the contracting decision.

A new firm will benefit from a simple business name which is easy to understand and remember accompanied by an appealing corporate logo. Also, an informative and accurate web site is necessary as a modern internet business card to add legitimacy to the new company.

Letters of Recommendation from USGOV Client POCs resulting from your first successful project can help support proposals for future contracted projects; CarobyCM can help to position you to receive this favourable recognition.
