Uptown Condominium Association

Chicago, Il

Plumbing Riser Replacement

G3 Construction Group was engaged by FirstService Residential and the Board at this Uptown Condominium Association to provide Construction Management Services to support a limited plumbing riser replacement project. After completion of this final renovation, these seven risers now tie into the new water system which improves water flow/ pressure as well as provides consistent hot water. During construction, our project management team performed the following:

Daily Coordination and comprehensive on-site Construction Management of the project to ensure that the work is being executed per the design-build project, developed by G3 and Werner Nugent Plumbing.
Daily coordination with unit owners via a full time Unit Coordinator. The Unit Coordinator is responsible for documentation of units prior to prep, notifications during construction, direct contact with each unit owner. The Unit Coordinator handles any questions, comments or concerns that arise during the project.
An onsite Project Unit Coordinator prepares an e-mail delivery of a detailed progress report to inform the Board of the project’s daily progression, any issues that may require a team discussion, as well as a weekly overall schedule update.
G3 laborers and carpenters are responsible for the prep and protection of each unit, as well as making the necessary openings for access to the plumbing risers. G3 carpenters are responsible for replacing any drywall that is removed, as well as bringing that surface to a primed finish.
Scheduled progress meetings with the Board and Werner Nugent Plumbing to go over the project’s progression to support the project’s established schedule and cost.
Coordination and management of all City of Chicago building inspections.
A Project Manager provides comprehensive project accounting and billing of the project, utilizing the project’s schedule of values to include obtaining all waivers of liens and sworn statements from sub trades to support each progress payment.
Safety Management: Safety inspections of the job site are performed daily by our onsite staff and periodically through safety professionals provided by Hygieneering, Inc. (G3’s affiliated company which is a full-service safety and environmental engineering firm), to support a safe worksite and ensure compliance with applicable EPA and OSHA standards.
Establish and execute the final punch list to deliver the project in a professional and time efficient manner.
Project submittal, clerical support, and delivery of the close out package to include as-built drawings, applicable equipment manuals and warranties.

Association Highlight

G3 was a proud sponsor of the 2021 BOMA Suburban Chicago Annual Golf Outing. The event took place on May 27th, rain or shine, and boy did it rain! What started off as a beautiful spring morning turned into a wet and cold day on the links. Luckily, heat and libations were flowing inside the clubhouse, and BOMA members and guests had a wonderful afternoon anyway. Thank you BOMA for such a great event!

BOMA/Suburban Chicago is recognized as the premier organization for commercial real estate in the Chicago suburbs because of its thorough understanding of its members’ current needs and its strategic anticipation of the industry’s future trends. They provide resources and education, as well as an environment conducive to a high level of interaction among commercial real estate professionals and the associate members who service them.
