Project Deployment
We build the team that will build your project
Register your project right away, whether you have already an architect or none yet, and we will do everything for you under a design-bid-build or design-and-build arrangement. Contact us for a free consultation.You may also browse the Partner Showcase and look for inspiration, designers, and builders, which you may endorse to us when you register your project.
We will recommend a designer, depending on your need, either an architect or an interior designer. After the design is approved and the plans are prepared, our BuildPodd Deployer will initiate the bidding process for contractors. We will form the team dashboard that includes the designer, the supervising architect or engineer, and the deployment officer, which will also include the winning contractor.
After negotiating and agreeing on the best proposal, BuildPodd will ensure that the project contract will be properly documented for your protection. All permits and insurances or bonds for your downpayment and all contract documents will be complied with by the winning contractor for maximum and mutual protection of all parties.
You will receive daily or weekly progress reports and photos through your dashboard for evaluation if everything is on schedule and as per plans. You will also receive billings for evaluation before payment. When the project is completed, your contractor will upload into your project dashboard all the important documents like punchlists and occupancy permit, as well as retention bonds for the warranties.
Construction Is Difficult And Risky. But Don't Worry...
The first critical decision to make is to determine the best way to package the contract. There are many options but the most common ones are design-&-build, which involves a contractor who can also do the design, and design-bid-build, which involves two separate contracts – first with a designer and another with a contractor. Â The best contract package is the one that is best suited to the objective of the project, the risks involved, the budget, timetable, and other factors. The BuildPodd Deployer will determine the best contract package for your project.
A uniform scope of work will be established after choosing the right contract package, to serve as the basis for the next process.
Under contract packaging, the project dashboard provides online tools like:
1. SOW (Scope of Work preparation)
2. RFP (Request for Proposals submission)
A written contract is your first line of defense. BuildPodd will provide standard templates that incorporate protection clauses like the CIAP 102 general conditions, as well as bonds and insurances to protect the interest of both parties, especially the client against fly-by-night contractors..
The salient contract elements are as folows:
1. Construction Contract Agreement
2. Scope of Work and Contract Amount
3. Construction Schedule (Gantt Chart)
4. General Conditions (CIAP Document (102)
5. Special Conditions
6. Specifications
7. Bill of Quantities (Optional)
8. Cost Estimate (Optional)
9. Drawings and Plans
10. List of Insurance Coverage
Â
All projects submitted to BuildPodd for deployment shall undergo regular daily or weekly monitoring, and reports shall be published in your dashboard, together with the photos of the project. These are the free apps that you can use to monitor your project in your dashboard::
1. Gantt Chart
2. Daily Project Photos and Reports
All billings shall be properly evaluated according to the accurate progress of the project and all payments shall be secured with bonds in order to safeguard your money. In your dashboard, you can use the free Progress Billing app to manage all requests for payments.
When inspection is done regularly, the final inspection will be much easier. One important thing to watch out at the end of the project is the warranty on the workmanship and components. There is also the 10% retention that needs to be withheld until after the warranty period ends.
We make sure also that the contractor secures the occupancy permit from the building official.
