Scott Robins Construction, Inc., is a State Certified General Contractor in Florida. For more than a decade, we have built a solid reputation as a quality-oriented construction company. Known and respected throughout the construction industry, we work predominantly in new construction, historic rehabilitation and large-scale remodeling. Our areas of specialty include upscale mixed-use commercial properties, beautiful parking garages, luxury apartment complexes, elegant hotels and government projects. To accommodate our clients, we are able to work on either a negotiated, lump-sum, or cost-plus fixed-fee basis.

Our construction expertise is put to use early on through the use of our pre-construction services, which include cost estimating and value-engineering in the planning, design and permitting process. It builds through our team-oriented relationships with all of the project consultants, including architects, engineers and all applicable governmental entities. We then hire the most highly skilled, quality-oriented subcontractors to complete the construction according to the plans and specifications. We obtain fair and competitive prices because our subcontractors are confident that our projects are well coordinated and properly scheduled. Our management team spends those extra hours meeting with the owner and architect, and conveying their thoughts to the workforce. We also spend many hours reviewing shop drawings and submittals. This process proves itself in the end when Scott Robins Construction completes the project on time, within budget, and with the highest level of quality.

At Scott Robins Construction, our expertise in the area of general contracting includes:

• Meeting with design consultants throughout the design stages.
• Obtaining Design Review Board approval.
• Securing all permits, and meeting with all government authorities.
• Obtaining qualified, competitive bids.
• Conducting value-engineering.
• Producing and updating project schedules.
• Reviewing shop drawings and submittals.
• On-site project management and supervision.
• Integrating and coordinating Owner activities.
• Conducting pre-inspection meetings with all applicable government departments.
• Obtaining final inspections and Final Certificates of Occupancy.

 

CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT (CM)

The construction manager’s primary responsibility is to serve as an advocate for the owner, ensuring stringent quality controls throughout design and construction. CM gives the owner control over costs and scheduling, and hence the overall quality of a project. CM utilizes a team-based approach in which the construction firm is closely involved with the project owner, architect, and other consultants. This intimate involvement begins in the conceptual design stage and continues through the entire construction process until the project is completed and operational.

At Scott Robins Construction, our expertise in the area of construction management is reflected in eight main areas:

• Assisting in the selection of design consultants.
• Coordinating the production of construction documents.
• Developing initial budgets.
• Developing and updating project schedules.
• Obtaining competitive bids for each phase of construction.
• Supervising construction.
• Monitoring and controlling costs throughout the project.
• Representing the Owner’s interest.

 

OWNER REPRESENTATION (OR)

When an Owner decides to develop a piece of property he often lacks the construction and/or development expertise to effectively oversee the process. The OR assumes responsibility for assisting the owner with the selection of an appropriate site, development of initial project budgets, and undertaking early feasibility studies by thorough due diligence.

If a project passes these tests, the appropriate design professionals are hired to produce the construction documents. Once the construction documents are completed, they are put out to bid to qualified contractors. When the bids are received and analyzed, the best contractor is chosen and a construction contract negotiated. During actual construction, the OR coordinates with the consultants and contractors to ensure the project is within budget, on schedule and finished to the complete satisfaction of the owner.

At Scott Robins Companies, our expertise in the area of owner representation is reflected in nine main areas:

• Early due diligence site selection.
• Initial scheduling and budgeting.
• Assisting in the selection and coordination of design consultants.
• Assisting in obtaining project financing.
• Bidding and selecting a qualified General Contractor.
• Negotiating a construction contract on behalf of the Owner.
• Coordinating and monitoring all aspects of construction.
• Maintaining schedules and cost controls.
• Representation against potential claims.
