THE ICON DIFFERENCE
Persistence and Determination
At ICON, our approach is built on the understanding that combined team efforts focused on milestone, cost and quality control create continuity through the initial design into actual construction. We will engage the entire Project Team (owners, architects, engineers, consultants, etc.) in understanding the specific project requirements and goals. We will then develop a strategy to accomplish these goals.
This approach allows us to provide a clear and consistent source of the project’s requirements while ensuring that the design, budget and schedule are incorporated into decisions from concept through close-out.

Pre-Construction
- Project program coordination and preparation
- Recommendations on construction methods, materials, procurement, and other costs
- Budgeting and Scheduling
- Detailed Cost Estimating
- Coordination of contract documents
- Coordination of safety programs
- Scheduling and assisting in preparation of pre-bid conferences, site visits and other meetings during the bid period
- Assisting with Owner-furnished items (OFI) and including them in the project schedule and budget

Project Construction Schedule & Budget
During construction, ICON evaluates the project schedule on a continuous basis. We revise and refine the approved project budget to incorporate changes as they occur and provide options for any revisions under consideration. ICON will maintain completed and detailed cost accounting records, implement the procedures for reviewing and processing of progress and final payments developed with the owner, and prepare cash flow reports and forecasts, as required. Changes to the project are controlled using a change order system which includes the review and acceptance of such items by all participants.
Quality Control
The ICON quality management program begins early in the pre-construction phase and continues through the end of the project. It addresses the following activities:
- Architectural and Engineering review
- Ongoing scope and budget reports
- Mock-up coordination
- Shop drawing and sample review
- Factory and shop visits
- Site inspection
- Testing and inspection
- Installation and commissioning assistance
- Punch list and closeout coordination
