Their main responsibilities are to establish means and methods for detailing, kitting, fabrication, and installation in addition to providing support to both the Foreman and Operations throughout the duration of each project. They have extensive field knowledge and experience and work closely with the Modelers, BIM Technicians and Detailers to generate drawings and documents to be used for fabrication and field installation.\nWho we are:\nMark III is a full-service construction company comprised of three complementary business units: M3 MEP, M3 Service, and M3 Components. We support projects from initial concept through long-term maintenance, with specialized expertise in healthcare, higher education, industrial, life science, and technology markets.\nOur integrated, big-picture approach allows us to self-perform electrical, HVAC, plumbing, process piping, prefabrication, and MEP design. By consolidating these services under one organization, clients benefit from reduced profit layers, minimized scope gaps, and simplified project schedules-working with a single, accountable partner rather than multiple consultants and subcontractors.\nHeadquartered in Sacramento, California, Mark III operates throughout California and Nevada. Our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility serves as a centralized hub supporting five core trades: HVAC, mechanical piping, plumbing, electrical, and metal-stud framing. To support our continued growth, we have relocated from a combined 62,000 square feet of office and operational space to a new 340,000-square-foot headquarters at 2031 Optisolar Lane.\nMission:\nLeading the Evolution of Construction\nVision: Exposing the World to a New Way to Build\nCore Values:\nTeamwork\nExcellence\nPerseverance\nIntegrity\nContinuous Improvement\nResponsibilities:\nMaintains clear communication between VC, Manufacturing, Operations and the field teams\nSupervises a team of Modelers, BIM Technicians and Detailers and ensures that all deliverables are met on time and within budget\nIdentifies manufacturing opportunities for each project\nWorks with the VDC Manager and VC Coordinator to establish KPI’s to track VC budget, additional VC hours used outside scope, quantity of work orders to fab, and VC deliverable due dates\nCompletes “feedback loop” through periodic contact to the field to assist in ongoing coordination and QC from start to finish of the project. \nEstablish means & methods for assemblies, prefabrication, kitting & installation practices\nIdentify Mark III standard material and products based on product price, availability and means & methods to establish standard submittal library\nSupports the designer by developing and providing details, mean and methods, sizing, code compliance on design build, design assist and integrated projects for permit submittal. \nIdentifies construction requirements for projects based on estimate, scope, contract, page turn and specifications. \nIdentifies BIM scope of work for each project and works with the Operation’s team to procure all necessary design and trade partner Cad/Revit files to be used for coordination\nCreates and documents value engineering solutions, which include identifying various design solutions and quantifying specific cost elements that are affected.\nWorks with the field and Operations team to establish VDC scope of work and budgeted hours for each project and documents each deliverable by creating the VC Scope Letter.\nKeeps VDC Manager abreast of changes to original VDC scope throughout the process \nCompiles information/documentation from all internal project meetings, such as construction schedule, BIM/preconstruction schedule, work orders and kitting opportunities and works with manufacturing to get all packages created and setup within Stratus\nCreates and maintains project folders for all VC deliverables \nProvides support to field personnel before and during the construction process.
