This was in lighting fixtures, bathroom tile and misc hardware. Material costs were initially set at 9 million, that was a savings of 18%2. Also for Client A, savings of 850K in scope of work discrepancies found in the agree upon general contractor bid that was to be written for contract. Contract was to be written for 3.5 million dollars. That was a savings of 24%3. For Client B, Review and proposed revision to project schedule, that was deemed unattainable. This was found within the proposed critical path of the mechanical scope that didnt allow for the relocation of riser shut off valves and the time frame that was required. Taking into account the possibility of a snowball effect in regards to lost revenue, trade downtime, etc. Approx savings 65K to priceless. 18.
