Hogg's SmartBuild System

A structured and reliable methodology designed to assist you with the building process from the initial conception to completion and operation. A process that keeps every component in the right balance. Helps you manage your budgetary requirements. Designed to build a positive relationship with you while planning and building your facility.

Needs Assessment - Phase One

The architect and Hogg Construction review practical issues, size issues, space concerns and utility survey with the owner in order to establish a program that sets the preliminary requirements of the project. Based on the preliminary program, the Hogg team establishes a budget and schedule. This budget usually looks at several options for construction. The budget will assist the owner in establishing the financing and funding needed and if the size of the project must be adjusted in order to fit into the operating budget. Once the size and outline of the project is established based on the budget, the project can move forward into the Design Development Phase.

Design Development - Phase Two

The team develops design documents for the building and related sitework. As the design develops, Hogg produces numerous budgets for alternate building systems through intelligent value engineering to establish the best design at the most economical cost. All zoning, subdivision, land development and utility company approvals are initiated.

Preconstruction - Phase Three

All design plans are completed. All zoning, subdivision, land development, utility companies and building permit approvals are acquired. Construction schedule is finalized. The project safety plan is developed. The final construction cost is reviewed, to be consistent with the budget. Hogg Construction issues all subcontracts and purchase orders, and prepares to start work.

Construction - Phase Four

A project start up meeting is held with owner, Hogg Construction project manager and superintendent, architect and key subcontractors to review schedule and key issues of the project. Project meetings are conducted every two weeks to review project status, identify any action items needing follow-up, appoint accountable person and time to complete action times. Owner, architect and Hogg Construction conduct walk-thru inspections at each project meeting. Safety coordination and accessibility are planned daily.

Customer Security - Phase Five

The owner is given training for the operation of all building systems. A complete set of operation and warranty manuals are turned over to you. Hogg Construction welcomes customer feedback throughout the entire process.
