MX International, as a “Total Project Management Company,” provides its clients with the full range of services in the programming and management of their building projects. These services include Project Management, Construction Management and Owner’s Representation. As an innovative and diversified, professional organization, we possess the unique capabilities required for providing our clients with a comprehensive, single-source of responsibility for every aspect of their building project’s requirements.

Our firm commitment to a successful construction project is evident in the hands-on involvement of Senior Management. Throughout the planning, design, and construction phases, the client benefits from the personalized attention and technical expertise of our Senior Management Team, who personally supervise the project from start to finish.

Each project team, organized under a Principal’s supervision, utilizes years of collective experience and expertise in the building, design and construction industries. At MX, every project is handled with professionalism regardless of size, budget or complexity.

MX employs a diversified pre-construction and construction management team of architects, consulting engineers, designers, technology consultants, cost control and scheduling personnel, construction estimators and project accountants. These professionals provide expert consultation and guidance in all phases of a building project, from preliminary program evaluation, design development review, estimating, scheduling and purchasing, through the coordinating of the project close-out and occupancy.

Our in-house capability to control, perform and oversee every facet of a project from planning and design through engineering and construction, enable us to provide our clients with a “turnkey” operation and single source responsibility on all projects.

By providing the full spectrum of management services, we are able to achieve the highest level of quality control. Our highly competitive fees, guaranteed Principal involvement, and single source capabilities enables us to tackle especially difficult projects, stringent budgets and very tight schedules.

Pre-Design and Design Phase

At MX, we believe that a client should be given the option of doing their entire project in-house, from start to finish. Our services do not begin at the construction phase, but rather at the planning and design phase of a project. Unlike other Project Management firms, we integrate “design-management” into our basic services.

“The race for quality has no finish line.” advisor

Providing design management services, allows us to help the client carefully manage the design aspect of their project, to ensure that it conforms to the Owner’s vision, design intent, schedule, and budget. We advise the Owner early on in the project development of which design professionals will be required for their particular project and recommend qualified architects, engineers and other professionals based on their compatibility as to style and aesthetics, their production capabilities, competence and fee structure.

Identification of the Project Scope Prior to beginning of the design phase, our managing partners will assist the Owner in establishing the project’s overall program and delivery system, the project’s proposed budget and any time constraints that will ultimately determine the scope of the project.

Selection of Design Professionals and Consultants Our senior staff will assist the Owner in the selection of the most qualified architectural/design team appropriate for their particular project. Together with the Owner, our staff will be personally involved in the interviewing, evaluating and selection of the Project Architect, the Project Engineers, the Interior Designer and any other design consultants required for their project. They will further assist the Owner in the negotiation process with these professionals and in the retaining of the selected Project Architect, the Project Engineers and all of the other design consultants.

Supervision of Design Development Upon choosing of the Project Architect, the Project Engineers and the entire team of design consultants, our staff will provide direction and coordination for the preparation of the Architect’s “schematic designs.” We will be involved in all meetings with the design team and assist the Owner in making the final decision on the final design concept.

Upon approval of the schematic and design development drawings, our management team will oversee the development of the final Construction Documents, and all the details and specifications required by the Project Architect and the design team.

Plan/Document Review Our in-house staff will review all of the plans and specifications prepared by the Project Architect and the Project Engineers for conformity to the applicable Zoning Regulations and Building Codes and to determine if the initial budget and design-intent has been adhered to.

Building Applications and Permits Our staff will oversee and coordinate the application for, and procuring of, all necessary approvals and permits from the Department of Buildings and any other municipal agencies. We will also coordinate the preparation of any documents required by the Owner’s bank or any other financial or lending institution, the filing of Condominium Offering Plan with the A.G.’s office, if required, or any other legal documents required from the Owner by any other public or private agency.

“It’s not so much what we do, but how we do it that really matters.” MX services international

Pre-Construction Phase

At MX, we utilize our unique planning and organization skills prior to the startup of construction, thereby helping prevent costly mistakes during the construction phase. It is our belief that a properly planned project will result in significant risk reduction and cost savings, by limiting change orders, delays and claims.

Budget and Cost Estimating During the initial phase of a project, we will provide a “Preliminary Cost Estimate” based on our past experiences with similar projects. Based on the final approved design concept, our staff, in conjunction with the Owner, will prepare a detailed "Project Budget" reflecting all expected fees and expenses associated with the execution of the project’s construction. During the course of the project, this budget will be updated to reflect the project’s actual progress and any necessary adjustments to the budget will be made accordingly.

Project Schedule Concurrent with the preparation of the Project Budget, our staff will prepare a "Project Schedule,” setting out the expected, overall time frame and any critical dates related to the execution of the project. During the course of the project, this schedule will be updated to reflect the project’s actual progress and any necessary scheduling adjustments will be made accordingly.

Constructability Review Our staff will review the design plans and specifications to help the Owner verify that the design as presented is clear to the contractor, represents no construction conflicts, and is economically feasible to build.

Value Engineering Our staff will review the numerous project characteristics, based on the final Architect’s and Engineer’s drawings, to ensure that the Owner is receiving the best value for the allocated expenses and that each individual expense is being distributed to the areas of the project which will, ultimately, help the Owner realize the maximum profit. Any suggestions to cost reduction through substitution of materials or through minor design changes will be presented to the Owner and the design team for evaluation.

Project Bidding Upon approval of the Project Budget and the Project Schedules, our staff will assist the Owner in the solicitation, interviewing, evaluation and selection of all the contractors and sub-contractors required for the execution of the project’s construction. Our staff will carefully review all the bid packages and provide the Owner with a detailed “bid analysis” for each of the applicable trades, in order to help in the bid comparisons and to ensure that the selection process is fair and accurate.

“The first method of estimating the intelligence of leaders is to look at the people they surround themselves with.” – Machiavelli manager

Construction Phase

In serving as the Construction Manager and as the Agent of the Owner, it is our objective to advise on and manage the building process from project conception to completion and to apply and integrate comprehensive project control techniques which are designed to help effectively manage the critical issues pertaining to the time, cost and quality of the project.

Construction Supervision and Coordination MX will provide the Owner with the complete and comprehensive administration and management of their construction project. A designated Project Manager will be assigned to each project. It is the Project Manager’s responsibility to provide for constant quality control and to ensure compliance by all the contractors, sub-contractors, and vendors to the approved plans and specifications and to the pre-determined program and schedule. Our office administrative and accounting staff provides the Project Manager with all of the in-house support he may require during the course of the project.

A managing partner or project executive shall provide complete oversight on every project.

Contract and Construction Administration We will ensure throughout the entire construction project that all contractors, sub-contractors and vendors are adhering to their contractual agreements and are providing the services they are responsible for, on schedule and in a professional manner. Requests for payment by contractors, subcontractors, vendors and suppliers will be carefully reviewed and the Owner will be notified as to the actual amounts due for payment.

We will prepare and maintain a weekly accounting of costs and disbursements made against the Project Budget. We will coordinate and negotiate any change orders or contract modifications resulting from changes in the project scope, project schedule, project budget or other conditions.

We will manage the monthly application for payment ("Draw"), as per the required funding disbursement agreement between the Owner and the bank or lending institution. Each Draw shall be submitted to the Owner and the Lender for funding and payment.

On a daily basis, we will conduct field observations and review the project’s progress to ensure orderly and timely completion of each phase of the project. Upon the completion of the project, we will provide each trade with a punch list of their outstanding responsibilities and verify the turnover of all closeout documents to the Owner.

In-house Services Our in-house capability to manage and oversee every facet of a project from planning and design through engineering and construction enable us to provide our clients with a “turnkey” operation and single source of man- agement responsibility on all projects.

“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.” – Leonardo da Vinci
