for the site and the interior of the building. After the codes research has been completed, I continue to
determine the feasibility of the project: Ratios between parking and building s.f. and other requirements as
per the clients’ needs. After my diligence is finished: I request an approval from the client. During this, I
prpare a CSI format Divisions Division (1) (General) through Division (16) (Electrical), to determine the
“Cost Effectiveness Cost Proposal” called ,”Proforma” that includes: Municipality fees, A&E fees, (soft
and hard cost) that would determine the Preliminary budget for the project; as a result, of this format I have
determine the feasibilities for the following types of projects: Residential, Commercial, DSA and OSHPD
projects. In the same manner using the CSI format I have determine Specification and the Project Schedule
called “Critical Line Path” to determine Milestones for project and it’s dead lines, for all team members.

corrections needed, I have been able to complete and coordinate the project with consultants in a timely
manner so the permit can be issued.
