CJ Infrastructure’s goal is to provide a holistic approach to the management of IT infrastructure installations.

While any of the support systems (e.g. UPS, HVAC, etc.) developed by MEP engineers can be commissioned individually, IT professionals are faced with the unique problem that their equipment cannot be commissioned if not all the parts, including support systems, are in place and working properly. It is to that end that there arises a need for an IT Project Management process that addresses the broader concerns of our client’s IT and Telecommunications Managers, including networking equipment, cabling, and support systems along with a disciplined approach to the architectural process to ensure a successful project. This approach includes:

· Initiation – Determine the nature and scope of the IT project. This will include identifiable parameters such as Stakeholders, Anticipated costs, Project Schedule, etc.

· Programming - Work directly with client Information Technology stakeholders to gain an understanding and to document the client’s needs, which may address issues such as Architectural, Power, Cooling, Fire suppression, Network equipment, Carrier Services, Service Entry rooms, Equipment Rooms, PBX, pathways, cabling, cable management, redundancy, etc.

· Design - Develop contract specifications and drawings that clearly define the infrastructure requirements already gathered during the Programming phase. Much of this information will be coordinated with MEP engineers as well as architects.

· Bid – Approved design documentation is issued to IT contractors and equipment vendors for bid. Bids are received and leveled to ensure proposals are in compliance with design documentation. Contractors are then selected.

· Peer Review – Confirm that the Architectural and MEP engineering documentation complies with IT requirements for space, power, cooling, fire suppression, security, etc.

· Timeline – Developed in cooperation with Construction PM to ensure proper coordination of all IT contractors and vendors with the work of other trades.

· Construction – Ensure contractors and equipment vendors are procuring materials, and installing in accordance with the project schedule.

· Change Management – Change order documentation is developed as client requirements change or field conditions dictate. All pricing, and approvals are secured, timeline is adjusted and newly defined work is executed.

· Project Closeout – Review and approve all contractor & vendor work, invoices, test results, and as-built documentation.
