CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATORS; THE BEARING WALL FOR THE CONSTRUCTION TEAM
Garrett Construction officially closed out its first project in June 2017 and has gone on to close out 16 additional projects through 2022. Today, there are more than 20 active construction projects. Considering The Garrett Companies’ mission to develop, construct, and manage high quality real estate projects being positioned for rapid and enduring success, maintaining organization in the construction division is critical to the company’s success. As you can imagine, there are many details to keep straight with this many projects, and that work would not be possible without the Construction Administrators: Carla Scroggins, Kelly McLinn, and Jenna Joyner. This team works in unison to support each project team from start to finish and provides a closeout package in a timely manner. Carla recently gave insight to the process that occurs from kick-off to closeout. “As a project begins, we are collecting contract documents and executing into Procore. We file them along with change orders, W-9s, COIs, and all other documents in OneDrive. As the project progresses, we are in the background creating a project’s O&M manual. When the first building turns over we are providing residential with a warranty contact list of all subcontractors for the project. Once the project is substantially complete, we collect and provide all subcontractor / manufacture warranties along with the completed O&M manual to the community management team and buyer if applicable. In between we are mailing out certified notices, ordering drawings and assisting with anything a project team needs to get job done.” While this team’s processes are clear, they have learned to be exceptional communicators due to rapid growth of the company. The team is very intentional about knowing project teams and meeting new team members. Their overall attention to detail and engagement from start to finish of a project is valued. “Carla and her team are very instrumental in our everyday function of the construction division,” said Steve Flick. Carla, Kelly, and Jenna’s diligent work helps the team deliver quality projects time and time again. Thank you, ladies!
