Building an Excellent Colorado By BREEZY SPRUILL

The Construction Management Group of CO, LLC headquartered in Colorado Springs, Colorado was established in 2009 by owner and managing member Jim Spruill. Jim has over 30 years of experience in all phases of construction. His ambition and work ethic helped him climb the construction chain from carpenter and foreman to higher positions like Superintendent, Project Manager, Senior Project Manager and even Operations Manager. His vast experience in all aspects of construction brings invaluable knowledge in foreseeing and overcoming complications, bringing jobs successfully to completion while staying within budget and on schedule. Jim founded TCMG on the concept that there is a better way to provide professional construction consulting and management services at a personal level. We pride ourselves in offering national experience on an individualized level, 35 years of major construction service and maintaining a team- oriented approach that supports our client’s needs. Our primary services include construction management and conceptual cost estimating. As your Construction Manager, we will act as your owner’s representative from the design

phase of your project to the first time you turn on the lights in your new building. We offer pre- construction, construction management and post-construction support. Pre-construction support includes a plan review and a spec review to identify any missing pieces in the scope which ultimately provides expertise for constructability, along with means and methods. We develop a project master schedule to establish duration and responsibility for all major activities during every phase of the project and notify the client and architect if any delays or problems present. During this pre-construction phase, we also develop bid packages to establish the categories of work into separate contracts that provide well-defined and manageable divisions of work. After the master schedule and bid packages are complete, TCMG/CO along with the client will evaluate the bids and make recommendations for the awarding of contracts. TCMG/CO manages details like working with architects to keep project costs down, selecting quality contractors, maintaining the project schedule, processing contractor pay apps and change orders, maintaining records, providing monthly reports, monitoring contractor’s safety programs and more. We have vast experience aiding owners by providing varying building strategies which allow the owner to determine the priorities of the project. We utilize the budget, time frames and building codes of the venture to guide the owner towards savvy building decisions and strategies. Photo: The Construction Management Group of CO, LLC
