In an ongoing effort to continually improve our Construction Contract Administration process, we are partnering with designers to minimize errors and omissions in plans that could result in change orders, and partnering with contractors in an effort to complete projects on time and within budget.

In addition, we are continually investigating new technologies and training programs that will improve our operations, such as:

Development, implementation, and administration of a total quality assurance program to ensure our customers (residents and visitors) of quality construction material and practices, and to ensure a high level of confidence in test results reported by laboratories performing materials testing on Pinellas County projects
Investigation of the possibility of using handheld computers to provide state-of-the-art equipment and training to improve record-keeping efficiency and pay requests
Continually providing the opportunity for Construction Administration personnel to obtain job-related professional and technical certification, to enhance the ability and credibility of our professional staff.
