			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So you were looking for <strong>construction pipeline scam</strong>?</p>
<p>In this article I&#8217;m going to talk about the rumours about &#8220;construction pipeline scam&#8221; and give you the real truth about this company so that you know whether to avoid them, or use them for business!</p>
<p>Unfortunately since the introduction of the world wide web it&#8217;s been easier than ever to pigeon hole companies as scams purely because 1 un-satisfied customer may feel they didn&#8217;t get the service they were looking for!</p>
<p>In today&#8217;s society it&#8217;s often very normal for satisfied customers to not give reviews yet it&#8217;s the un-satisfied customers who will go and post bad reviews which shows off the company as if they are 100% bad when in fact they&#8217;re not, it could just be one dis-satisfied customer compared to 1000 happy customers.</p>
<p>Now in my 100% un-biased opinion I&#8217;m here to give you the real truth on the &#8220;construction pipeline scam&#8221; issue that is going around!</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been using construction pipeline for a while now and I am one of the many satisfied customers. In fact I noticed that there was bad reviews about them and often wondered why. After doing some research I&#8217;ve come to the conclusion that these bad reviews (e.g construction pipeline scam) are actually from competitors posing as real people purely to tarnish the reputation of a good company!</p>
<p>I decided to contact pipeline construction and ask them why there was various reviews such as construction pipeline scam going about. There response was one that I highly agreed with. They told me that they did business with over 2000 people every month and although they have a very high level of satisfaction from more than 95% of their customers, the small few (as with any business) for whatever reason aren&#8217;t fully satisfied.</p>
<p>My personal opinion of pipeline construction is that they have continued to provide me with a great service and I know that I speak for many other satisfied customers here.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Since 1992 we have been providing valuable project leads to subcontractors in Major metropolitan area around the country. The fundamental concept that we have built our company on, is the ability to offer a unique reprt that covers strictly private sector projects-negotiated work, directly with the general contractor. We are the <strong>ONLY</strong> construction lead company that is <strong>100% private</strong> sector commercial and residential, new construction as well as lots of commercial tenant improvements and rehabs, and residential remodels and additions.</p>
<p> Each of our editors&#8217; put in hundreds of man hours each week, speaking directly with general contractors to find out about current and upcoming projects in each of the areas that we cover, finding the generals that are looking to take hard bids from subcontractors. We maintain a job base of over 250 projects monthly that are active bidding opportunities, and add more than 50 new jobs in each area that we cover every two weeks. We show hundreds of thousands of dollars of business in every copy of the report that we send out for each of the trades that we cover. All project information is directly from the general contractor or project manager and is updated with them before every new report is published. We include emails and fax numbers for easy pre-qualification and the name and phone number of the decision maker for the project shown.</p>
<p> Construction Pipeline leads are a very simple and easy way of always having a steady flow of new work to pick and choose from and a great way to get your foot in the door and establish relationships with new general contractors that are in need for a good quality sub contractor. You can always go to www.construction pipeline.com to find out for yourself.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The key to good construction communication starts with <strong>Letter Etiquette</strong>. Writing a business letter is not simply a matter of expressing your position clearly. The manner you write in, letter layout and the etiquette you employ may all have a significant impact on the success or failure of a construction business.</p>
<p>The first step is to Standardize the layout of your <strong>Letterheads</strong>. It is surprising to receive letters from different individuals from the same company with different colours, stretched logo&#8217;s, company information and general layout. You do not want contrasting marketing messages every time your company communicates with a potential customer. Build a brand or recognizable identity for your construction company. A good letter becomes a key element of overall branding.</p>
<p>Letters should be responded to promptly or within 7 working days. If this is not possible then an acknowledgement should be sent either by letter, fax, phone or e-mail. Always use reference numbers or clearly state the purpose of the letter at the top, for example, &#8216;Re: Project Name &#8211; Quotation&#8217;. This allows the receiver to trace correspondence and immediately set your letter within a context.</p>
<p>Always make sure you have spelt the recipient&#8217;s name correctly. It may sound simple, but you would be surprised at how many people fail to do so. The recipient&#8217;s name should include titles, honours or qualifications if deemed necessary.</p>
<p>When replying to points or questions the proper etiquette is to respond in the same order as they were asked. Try to keep all business letters formal in style even when the receiver is familiar to you. Refrain from using emotional words such as <strong>I</strong> and <strong>you</strong> and rather replace these with “<strong>We</strong>” or “<strong>your business name</strong>” and the other party’s business name.</p>
<p>Letters should be signed personally. It is unprofessional and disrespectful if a letter is left unsigned. However, having a secretary or a PA sign on behalf of you is not considered a breach of business etiquette.</p>
<p>Online-templatestore provides a good standard letterhead example with guidelines for any business.</p>

<p>              Lorich Construction Management LLC Organization</p>
<p>Construction processes <br />Design team <br />Shasta Dam under construction </p>
<p>In the modern industrialized world, construction usually involves the translation of paper or computer based designs into reality. A formal design team may be assembled to plan the physical proceedings, and to integrate those proceedings with the other parts. The design usually consists of drawings and specifications, usually prepared by a design team including the client architects, interior designers, surveyors, civil engineers, cost engineers (or quantity surveyors), mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, structural engineers, and fire protection engineers. The design team is most commonly employed by (i.e. in contract with) the property owner. Under this system, once the design is completed by the design team, a number of construction companies or construction management companies may then be asked to make a bid for the work, either based directly on the design, or on the basis of drawings and a bill of quantities provided by a quantity surveyor. Following evaluation of bids, the owner will typically award a contract to the lowest responsible bidder. </p>
<p> Construction Manager as Constructor </p>
<p>Under this delivery method, a construction manager is hired prior to the completion of the design phase to act as a project coordinator and general contractor. Unlike the DBB method, a construction manager is hired during the design phase, which allows the construction manager to work directly with the architect and circumvent any potential design issues before completion of the construction documents. After documents are completed, the construction manager accepts bids for the various divisions of work from subcontractors or general contractors. </p>
<p><strong>Lorich Construction Management LLC Value Engineering :</strong>Potential problems of Design-Build: </p>
<p>Cost estimating for a design-build project is sometimes difficult because design documents are often preliminary and may change over the course of the project. As a result, design-build contracts are often written to allow for unexpected situations without penalizing either the Design-Builder or the owner. Several organizations (such as the Design/Build Institute of America) provide standardized form contracts for design-builders to use, but it is not unusual for the design-builder to provide its own contractual documents. </p>
<p>This uncertainty requires the owner to rely a great deal on the integrity, accumen, and competence of the design-builder. As the certainty of estimates decreases, the opinion of the construction professionals of the Design-Build firm must be trustworthy, accurate, and reasonably verifiable in order to minimize risk. </p>
<p>Lorich Construction Management LLC Engineering</p>
<p>This approach has become more common in recent years and includes an entire completed package, including fixtures, fittings and equipment where necessary, to produce a completed fully functional building. In some cases, the Design and Build (D &amp; B) package can also include finding the site, arranging funding and applying for all necessary statutory consents. </p>
<p>The owner produces a list of requirements for a project, giving an overall view of the project&#8217;s goals. Several D&amp;B contractors present different ideas about how to accomplish these goals. The owner selects the ideas he likes best and hires the appropriate contractor. Often, it is not just one contractor, but a consortium of several contractors working together. Once a contractor (or a consortium/consortia) has been hired, they begin building the first phase of the project. As they build phase 1, they design phase 2. This is in contrast to a design-bid-build contract, where the project is completely designed by the owner, then bid on, then completed. </p>
<p>Kent Hansen, director of engineering for the National Asphalt Pavement Association (NAPA), pointed out that state departments of transportation (DOTs) usually use design build contracts as a way of getting projects done when states don&#8217;t have the resources. In DOTs, design build contracts are usually used for very large projects. </p>
<p>Large projects can involve highly complex financial plans. As portions of a project are completed, they may be sold, supplanting one lender or owner for another, while the logistical requirements of having the right trades and materials available for each stage of the building construction project carries forward. In many English-speaking countries, but not the United States, projects typically use quantity surveyors. </p>
<p><strong>Lorich Construction Management LLC Value Engineering :</strong>The design-bid-build method is the most common construction delivery method. This process begins with an owner selecting an architect to prepare construction documents. These are prepared using drafting standards such as the Institute of Civil Engineers ICE Conditions of Contract, or the NEC Engineering and Construction Contract. In most cases, the architect will release these construction documents publicly, or to a select group of general contractors, who will then place a bid on the project which reflects what they believe cost of construction will total. This bid is inclusive of a multitude of subcontractor bids for each specific trade. The general contractor&#8217;s fee is generally built into the bid cost. Most government contracts are bid competitively using this method. </p>
<p>Lorich Construction Management LLC Management  Procurement </p>
<p>Procurement describes the merging of activities undertaken by the client to obtain a building. There are many different methods of construction procurement; however the three most common types of procurement are: </p>
<p> 1. Traditional (Design-bid-build) <br /> 2. Design and Build <br /> 3. Management Contracting </p>
<p>Traditional <br />Main article: Design-bid-build </p>
<p>This the most common method of construction procurement and is well established and recognized. In this arrangement, the architect or engineer acts as the project coordinator. His or her role is to design the works, prepare the specifications and produce construction drawings, administer the contract, tender the works, and manage the works from inception to completion. There are direct contractual links between the architect&#8217;s client and the main contractor. Any subcontractor will have a direct contractual relationship with the main contractor. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Building a new house is a very exciting thing to do. Many people have their own dream houses with their dream architecture. However, many of them have a lot of problems of starting the <strong>construction</strong> of their house-going-to-be. If the construction does not build correctly from the beginning, it would create many problems in the future, for instance the strength of the house might not be as strong as what you expect before. So, you have to be very careful when you start your project.</p>
<p><strong>Construction </strong>needs many materials that lean on each other, because if one material is week, it would danger the other materials that come together with it. Besides, it needs the right positions for every single material too, so building construction needs a lot of works to do. However, if you build a house with the right construction, you will feel the advantage of it. For example, when there is a sudden earthquake, your house is not easily destroyed. But, to start a strong construction you need an expert that helps you.</p>
<p>You just need to hire a <strong>construction</strong> company to build your house, offices, and many other building. You can ask a lot of questions that meet your need and style. It is important for your own safety and convenient, because if the construction is not right, it can harm the people who live in the building. While you are with the construction expert, you have to inquire as many questions as possible, so later on you know you are doing with your house or office construction. You can call the construction company or search for their addresses and service information on their website. So, you can figure out how much money you want to spend with your construction. You certainly do not want to spend lots of money for a low quality construction. Accordingly, it is good for you to ask and negotiate the price of the construction.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Heavy Duty, Flexible Solutions for Businesses</strong></p>
<p>When you think of a warehouse, or an industrial marina for large boats, you envision a brick-and-motor or metal building, right? Right. But now businesses around the world have a solution for temporary warehouses or buildings: fabric structures.</p>
<p>Fabric structures are the perfect temporary solution for industrial and commercial portable buildings and structures. What are the benefits of fabric structures?</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Economical</strong> – Because you won&#8217;t need a foundation, construction crew to build the structure or the costs associated with building a structure from the ground floor up, you&#8217;ll save money. You&#8217;ll also be able to service clients quicker since our structures can be erected faster and for less money than virtually any other solution on the market.</li>
<li><strong>Portable</strong> – Despite the fabric structure&#8217;s large size, if you needed to move it you could because it doesn&#8217;t require a foundation. For the ultimate in portability we can configure your structure to be wheel-mounted and crane liftable. You will find our wheel mounted and crane liftable structures at marinas and shipyards all over the world. </li>
<li><strong>Weatherproof</strong> – Fabric structures can withstand 75 to 120 MPH wind load ratings. They can also handle 12 to 40 pounds/Sq.ft. of snow or live load ratings. </li>
<li><strong>Clearspan</strong> – Because there are no internal pillars or posts holding the structure up, a fabric structure provides more space per square foot. Clearspans range from 12 feet wide to 166 feet wide, by virtually any length.</li>
<li><strong>Quick Installation</strong> – Our structures can be assembled and erected faster than just about any other type of structure on the market with a minimum amount of heavy equipment. In fact most of the smaller (28&#8242;W and smaller) Fabric Structures can be assembled with very little to no heavy equipment. For most medium sized (32&#8242;W – 96&#8242;W) you a telescoping fork lift and scissor lifts are recommended. Only the very largest fabric structures 96&#8242;W – 166&#8242;W) require a crane but even then our structures are much quicker to assemble and erect than brick-and-mortar construction. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>Permanent</strong> – Although fabric structures are perfect for temporary structures, they are also used as permanent structures in airports, marinas, warehousing, construction sites, manufacturing and other industries due to their durability, low-cost and quick and easy assembly.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Perfect Temporary Shelter Solution for Commercial Industries</strong></p>
<p>Fabric structures offer are clearspan, weatherproof, durable and portable. That makes them perfect for a wide range of commercial industries including:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Marine Painting and Sandblasting Containment</strong> –Since the fabric is durable, marine painting and sandblasting can be done year round. Also, the transparency of the fabric provides excellent natural light, allowing work to be done during daylight hours without a need for electrical lights.</li>
<li><strong>Marine Industry</strong> – Fabric structures can be wheel-mountable, which is perfect for marinas that service large ships or boats which needs to move structures around as the projects finish and new ones get started.</li>
<li><strong>Boat slip covers</strong> – Perfect for both personal and business-owned boats, fabric structures can house one large boat to several boats at a public or private marinas. The clearspan allows boat slips more room per boat.</li>
<li><strong>Warehousing and Storage</strong> – A fabric warehouse is perfect as a temporary warehouse. From construction equipment to industrial products, a fabric structure will provide more space per square foot, costing the company less for warehousing and storage and when the project or special need is completed our structure can be moved to the next job site or sold.</li>
<li><strong>Construction</strong> – Almost all construction sites require temporary structures, our fabric structures are the perfect solution for storing heavy equipment, building materials and other items. Once the construction is over, the fabric structure can be disassembled and reassembled at the next location.</li>
<li><strong>Concrete Curing </strong>– When concrete is poured for a large construction site, it has to be covered from the elements so it can properly cure. A fabric structure is the perfect weatherproof solution, keeping the concrete safe from harsh weather no matter where the site is located<strong>.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Aircraft Hangars</strong> – From small private airports to NASA, fabric structures are the perfect solution for aircraft hangars. They can be used temporarily or permanently, depending on your needs.</li>
<li><strong>Sports and Recreation</strong> – Many cities can&#8217;t afford to budget for a brick-and-mortar or metal building at sports and recreation parks, but they can afford a fabric structure. They are the perfect solution for sports arenas and recreation centers.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Exhibition</strong> – Portability is key for fabric structures used as exhibition halls at fairs, parks, universities, race tracks and other venues. They can be left up year round or erected as a temporary structure.</p>
