About the author

Scope of Service Experience Fred Tuck has provided construction management, owner’s representation, general contracting, emergency mitigation and insurance claim administration services, consulting and forensic services to ownership of every commercial real estate asset class. Since 1985, Fred’s clients have benefited from his broad knowledge of all trades and disciplines as well as his refined sense of both design and architectural detail. Background & Experience Fred has guided the construction process for over 150 significant projects throughout the country totaling more than $500m worth of construction and renovation. He has an intimate knowledge of all trades and disciplines and offers expertise in the commercial, residential, retail, telecommunications, hospitality, and insurance restoration industries. His approach is extremely “hands-on” and he only works for owners as part of the team. This enables quicker decision making and faster delivery to market – both critical components to the value proposition. By implementing the single point of contact approach and coordinating all disciplines and services, efficiency is increased and budgets and deadlines are met successfully. As no two construction projects are alike; each requires specific services and solutions. Fred typically develops a tailored scope of services for each project based on the specific needs of the individual client/project with the following construction services offered: Pre-Construction: Conceptual estimating Budget development Design management/progress monitoring Procurement strategy/long-lead item prioritization Value engineering Bid document review and preparation Project phasing Construction Management: Master schedule development Field supervision Government agency permits/approvals Long-lead item procurement Trade contract procurement and administration Construction scheduling and coordination On-site quality control, testing and inspection System start-up, personnel training, and final turn-over Construction labor relations Monitor job-site safety programs Project Management: Project definition and development of overall delivery strategy Selection of architects/engineers Budget development and cost tracking Multi-project planning and logistics coordination Development and implementation of contractor quality assurance program Develop design standards and guidelines Implement management information and reporting systems Produce monthly reports Construction management services Consulting: Innovative and improved building materials and systems Feasibility and constructibility studies Loan/mortgage monitoring Site inspections and building surveys Construction market survey
