History Although the concept of Costello Construction began in late 1992, it was on January 1, 1993 that Costello Construction purchased the assets, liabilities, and commercial construction projects of a medium-sized general contractor located in Lanham, Maryland. This acquisition included acquiring an experienced staff which had successfully managed in excess of $40 million of commercial/industrial projects in the Baltimore/Washington area. Starting with a backlog of construction contracts exceeding $17 million, Costello Construction hit the ground running with an intact staff and an excellent surety relationship. Since January 1, 1993, our collective efforts have yielded an extensive list of successful and profitable projects. The Construction Process Costello Construction views the pre-construction phase as critical and gives this phase a great deal of emphasis. A thorough analysis of the project prior to ground breaking is conducted with the input of the estimator, superintendent, project coordinator and project manager. Past experience has proven that this proactive approach to construction mitigates delays and prevents conflicts typically encountered during the construction phase. Utilizing the latest scheduling software a comprehensive project schedule is developed. The schedule is crucial in ensuring the success of a project and is used continuously to gauge the progress of construction. A very schedule conscious contractor, Costello Construction has continuously brought projects in on or before the scheduled date of completion. Costello Construction self-performs the work of various trades. Historically, all site work, concrete and carpentry work has been performed in-house. Quality control is critically important in these areas and performing this work in-house has enabled this company to tightly control the quality and timeliness of the final project. The active construction of a project is marked by progress meetings with owners, weekly coordination meetings with subcontractors and on site safety meetings. Internally, bi-weekly cost and schedule update meetings keep the field supervision and management team focused and informed. Throughout the course of a project, the information and communication stream is kept completely open. Effective field and project management coordination ensures that the closeout of a project is performed expeditiously from punchlist administration to warranty and O & M transfers to the owner. A punchlist team, coordinated and directed by the project superintendent, is assigned the task of on site management and execution of the punchlist items. The required Operation and Maintenance Manuals, Warranties, etc. are collected, organized and indexed by the project management team and transferred to the Owner with ease.
