The complete project delivery lifecycle.
Eleven phases, from planning through warranty. Each phase produces documentation, controls, and deliverables that feed the next — creating a continuous, governed chain of accountability.
Transparency built into the structure of delivery.
The F1RST delivery lifecycle is not a marketing diagram — it is the operating structure of every project. Each phase has defined inputs, outputs, and documentation standards. Owners can trace any decision, cost, or inspection back to its source phase and responsible party.
Planning
Project definition, budget framework, site analysis, and delivery strategy alignment with owner objectives.
Design Coordination
Management of the design team, drawing reviews, interdisciplinary coordination, and constructability input.
Estimating
Progressive cost estimates from conceptual through bid-level, grounded in market data and historical intelligence.
Scheduling
Critical path method scheduling with resource loading, milestone definition, and long-lead identification.
Permitting
Entitlement navigation, jurisdictional coordination, and code compliance verification across all authorities.
Bid Management
Bid package development, subcontractor prequalification, scope leveling, and contract award recommendations.
Construction
Governed field execution with daily production tracking, trade coordination, and progress documentation.
Quality Control
Inspection plans, testing coordination, nonconformance management, and specification verification.
Project Controls
Integrated cost, schedule, and risk reporting with forecast analysis and executive dashboards.
Commissioning
System verification, functional performance testing, training, and operational readiness confirmation.
Warranty
Post-occupancy support, defect resolution, system performance monitoring, and warranty administration.
