Project Support
End-to-End Project Management Support for Commercial Concrete Contractors
In commercial concrete, every project lives or dies by execution. Budgets, schedules, submittals, and quality standards must align perfectly, or profits start slipping fast. At Stancon Consultants, our Project Support services give commercial concrete contractors the structure and oversight needed to move confidently from bid to completion. We handle the behind-the-scenes coordination, documentation, and control that keep your jobs running smoothly, on budget, and on schedule.
Whether you need pre-construction planning, real-time budget tracking, accurate pay applications, or on-site QA/QC, we act as your project management partner, supporting your team every step of the way.
Pre-Construction Management
Every profitable project begins with a clear, well-organized plan. Stancon’s Pre-Construction Management service ensures you’re fully prepared before mobilization; with systems, communication, and strategy dialed in.
We manage the early stages of your project so you can anticipate risks, coordinate effectively, and build from a place of control instead of chaos.
What We Provide:
Pre-Construction Meetings with GCs: We represent you in pre-construction meetings with general contractors to ensure your scope, schedule, and responsibilities are clearly defined. We help identify potential challenges early, clarify expectations, and set the tone for smooth collaboration throughout the project.
Internal Coordination: We meet directly with you and your team to align on project goals, responsibilities, and execution strategies. Our focus is keeping communication clear, priorities organized, and everyone on the same page.
Procurement Assistance: We help streamline procurement of subcontractors, materials, and suppliers, ensuring everything is lined up before mobilization. From vendor selection to order timing, we make sure nothing slips through the cracks.
Budget Development & Cost Control: We support the creation of accurate, realistic project budgets that account for materials, labor, and logistics. Our process helps protect your profit margins and prevent costly surprises.
Scheduling & Manpower Planning: We assist with project schedules, milestones, and manpower planning to ensure the job starts strong and stays efficient. Our goal is to help you anticipate challenges and plan accordingly, not react to them later.
Why It Matters:
The pre-con phase sets the tone for everything that follows. Poor planning here leads to field confusion later. Our proactive approach ensures your team hits the ground running, with fewer delays, fewer RFIs, and a stronger bottom line.
Submittal & Project Documentation Management
Paperwork delays are profit killers. We eliminate that problem by handling every part of your Submittal and Project Documentation process so you can focus on what matters most: running the project and delivering quality work.
Our team ensures every mix design, rebar drawing, and data sheet is properly collected, reviewed, formatted, and submitted to the client on time — complete, compliant, and organized.
We Handle:
Concrete Mix Designs - We gather, verify, and submit mix designs according to project specifications, ensuring approval without delays.
Rebar Shop Drawings - We coordinate with fabricators to manage rebar drawings from creation through approval.
Product Data Sheets & MSDS Sheets - We collect and compile all required product documentation and safety data sheets for materials and admixtures.
Submittal Tracking - We track submittals from initial submission to approval, managing revisions and maintaining accurate logs.
Communication & Delivery - We submit all documents directly to the client or through online project portals, ensuring timely and professional delivery every time.
Why It Matters:
Missing or late submittals can delay schedules, delay payments, and raise red flags with clients. We make sure everything is accurate, formatted correctly, and submitted ahead of deadlines; giving you peace of mind and keeping production on track.
Project Budget Management
Profit is earned in the field but protected in the books. Stancon’s Project Budget Management system gives you live visibility into your project’s financial health at all times.
We maintain a custom, real-time budget dashboard that tracks every expense, cost code, and change so you always know exactly where your project stands.
Our System Includes:
Live, Shareable Budget Dashboard: Updated continuously and accessible 24/7.
Expense Tracking & Categorization: Every invoice and receipt logged and organized.
Variance Analysis: Compare actual spending to projections and identify deviations early.
Profit Monitoring: Stay aware of margin trends before small overruns become major issues.
How It Works:
Your team simply forwards receipts, invoices, and change orders — we update the system. You log in to view a live comparison of budget vs. actual, giving you complete control over project profitability
Why It Matters:
With transparent, real-time reporting, you can make informed financial decisions, adjust quickly, and prevent surprises before closeout.
AIA Pay Application Management
Submitting pay applications shouldn’t require a full-time administrator. Our AIA Pay Application service ensures your monthly billings are accurate, complete, and on time — no matter how many clients or platforms you work with.
We prepare, verify, and submit all AIA documents (G702/G703), handle portal uploads, and follow through on every payment.
Our Process Covers:
AIA Form Preparation: Detailed completion of G702/G703 pay apps, including stored materials and retainage.
Lien Release Waiver: Provision & formatting of LRW with each AIA Pay App Submittal.
Portal Submission: We upload and track submissions through each client’s billing platform.
Approval Tracking: We confirm receipt and monitor approvals through payment.
Recordkeeping: Every cycle is documented for transparency and dispute protection.
Why It Matters:
Missed deadlines or inaccurate billings slow your cash flow and hurt your reputation. With Stancon handling your AIA pay apps, you stay compliant, organized, and paid — consistently and correctly.
On-Site Quality Assurance & Quality Control
Plans and numbers are one thing — execution is another. Our QA/QC service ensures that what’s built in the field matches the intent on paper.
Our experienced team visits job sites to verify accuracy, monitor installations, and document every step with photo reports and field notes. We act as an independent check on quality, reinforcing your standards and protecting your name.
Our Field Oversight Includes:
Field Inspections & Verification - We check anchor bolts, embeds, layouts, and formwork to confirm accuracy before pours.
Slab Pour Observation - Our team monitors pours to ensure proper placement, finishing, and compliance with plans.
Documentation & Reporting - We provide photo documentation and detailed feedback reports from each site visit.
Coordination with Your Team - We communicate directly with your project managers or superintendents to correct issues early.
Why It Matters:
One missed embed or incorrect pour can lead to costly rework and schedule delays. Our Quality Assurance and Control process provides accountability and confidence, ensuring every pour meets the specs and your reputation stays intact.
