In this role, MAC seconded senior project-management and construction-management personnel to each project. These staff members acted on the owner's behalf and coordinated the work of the many contractor and sub-contractors. In most instances, MAC Construction personnel established detailed schedules for the project and assisted the contractor in maintaining achievement levels, observing completion dates and keeping to the budgets. Additional responsibilities included gaining approvals from municipalities and local authorities at various stages throughout the project.
The Meridien Hotel in Chicago, featured here, was a good example of MAC's project management capabilities. The project management contract was for the complete turnkey design and construction of a luxury hotel located in the Gold Coast area in Chicago and consisting of 23 storeys and two basements.
