Condominium Capital Repairs: Planning, Oversight, and Success

Capital repair projects in condominiums can be complex, stressful, and disruptive if not managed carefully. From the planning stage to execution, condo boards and property managers face many challenges: ensuring work meets engineering specifications, coordinating contractors, keeping schedules on track, and minimizing resident disruptions.

At Progetto Management, we specialize in helping condominium boards navigate this process, making projects smoother, safer, and more predictable.

Why Construction Scope Creation Adds Value to the Engineer’s Scope

When planning capital repair projects in condominiums, engineers provide detailed technical specifications to ensure the building meets safety, performance, and structural standards. While these documents are essential, they do not always address practical realities such as sequencing, trade coordination, and on-site logistics.

A construction scope translates the engineer’s technical requirements into clear, actionable steps for contractors. When both scopes are used together, contractors are pricing the same work, making it easier for condo boards and property managers to evaluate bids fairly.

Key Benefits of Having Both Scopes

• Clarity in Execution: The construction scope shows how work will be performed, ensuring no detail is overlooked.

• Simplified Contractor Evaluation: Contractors ask fewer questions, reducing confusion and streamlining the bidding process.

• Improved Scheduling: Detailed planning allows timelines to be realistic and coordinated with building operations.

• Reduced Risk of Errors: Potential conflicts or gaps are identified before construction begins, preventing delays and rework.

• Better Decision-Making: Boards can confidently award contracts knowing all bids are based on consistent information.

Using both the engineer’s scope and a construction scope together ensures that capital repair projects are easier to manage, more predictable, and less disruptive for residents.

Who Is Really Watching Your Condominium Capital Repair?

Even with well-prepared scopes, on-site oversight is essential. Once construction begins, unexpected challenges can arise:

• Residents complain about noise, dust, and blocked access

• Contractors stop returning calls

• Deadlines are missed

• Work may not be performed according to the engineer’s specifications

This is where Progetto Management adds value. We are your dedicated on-site construction management team, providing supervision, coordination, and communication throughout the project. We are not engineers, but we ensure that every part of the work is done correctly, safely, and on schedule.
