COMMUNICATION SOFTWARE Bradbury Stamm focuses on effective communication management throughout the project. The basis of our philosophy for effective communication is establishing clear and concise lines for information exchange between the project team. The Bradbury Stamm project team generates or oversees all project specific information including: preconstruction, scheduling, correspondence, clarifications, cost control issues, procurement, management of subcontractor issues, submittals, deliveries, payment applications, monthly reports, project close-out and turnover. The tool utilized to allow the Project Team to manage these functions efficiently is Procore. Procore is an easy to use, cloud -based, construction management tool that is accessible by every member of the project team on their computer, tablet or smart phone. Each of our superintendents carries a portable tablet while on the site and uploads daily logs, construction photos, RFIs and daily correspondence in real time. This allows the management team, design professionals and the City of Ramsey to log into the project portal and see the daily progress from any location. In the same manner information can be disseminated to the project sites via Procore or regular email directly to the superintendent. This eliminates delays in communication and ensures the project team is communicating effectively. BUILDING INFORMATION MODELING (BIM) The Bradbury Stamm BIM Coordination process results in highly coordinated building systems which support increased productivity/quality during construction and ease of maintenance during the life of the facility. Bradbury Stamm has complete BIM capabilities, including modeling all aspects of the project from early design concepts through project completion. Key Elements of the BIM Execution Plan for the Ramsey Public Works and Fleet Maintenance Facility project include: • Ensuring a cohesive BIM Execution Plan across all team disciplines, including designers, contractors and end users so that information being created in the model efficient and usable by all team members. • Develop and Turnover 3D BIM As Builts at the end of the project so that end users and building maintenance staff can easily find and service the new equipment. There are many emerging technologies that can be utilized in conjunction with the 3D BIM As Builts and we look forward to meeting with you and your facilities and maintenance staff to find the one that works best for them. Bradbury Stamm "We went through a rigorous BIM Coordination process and all RFI and Shop Drawing review and information was posted on the E-Builder site. Coordination and interaction between the Contractor, the Architect and Engineers and the Owner is critical on a project of this scale and complexity. THE BRADBURYSTAMM STAFF WAS ON TOP OF THE ISSUES AND THINGS ALWAYS GOT RESOLVED IN A SCHEDULE SENSITIVE AND COST EFFECTIVE MANNER." Jon Anderson, FAIA, Jon Anderson Architecture George I.
