Design meeting
Kajima’s design engineers will develop a conceptual plan based on your ideas for your project. Being able to see the concept helps to visualize the project more accurately which promotes further discussion.
To bring your project one step closer to becoming reality, Kajima applies our know-how to local building codes, selects the appropriate construction method and materials and develops a plan to encourage further discussion and ideas.

Kajima will provide you with information about local construction practices and requirements, site information, and support your project by providing a site selection report which includes an evaluation of the site, availability of utilities such as electricity, gas, water and sewer, and results from soil boring tests. Will also propose an appropriate project schedule taking into account risk factors such as the weather (wet/dry seasons), long religious holidays and so forth.

After agreeing to the design contract, we begin work on the actual design.
We prepare drawings based on our previous discussions with you and show them to you to make sure your ideas and requirements are fully reflected in the design. We will also explain the process and time frame to build your project using a project schedule.

Drawings for estimating
Specification documents
Project schedule
Job site organization
We will prepare a draft contract with a quote based on the design and project schedule. The contract becomes our commitment to you. Once everything is agreed with the client and the Letter of Intent to order issued, the contract is executed. Then, work on the job site will finally begin.
The site project manager will call in professionals and subcontractors responsible for various aspects of the construction, direct work, and begin shaping your very important project. We also support on-site operations from our Japanese head office and overseas regional headquarters to make sure everything on site goes smoothly.
Once the projects start, you will receive monthly site progress site reports.

Milestones
When the project is completed, we have the appropriate local authorities conduct an inspection to confirm the project was constructed according to local applicable laws and regulations. Prior to this, however, we conduct our own inspection as well as a walk-through inspection with the project owner to identify items that need to be corrected and prepare a punch list. Once all the problem items are identified, we correct each of them on the list guaranteeing you have a high-quality building.

Final Inspection
Your project is finally completed.
In addition to handing over the keys, we provide you with all necessary documents such as manuals for MEP equipment, air conditioning, fire systems and building security systems, explaining everything as we go along.
Building completion now signals the beginning of a new phase. We follow up with you to make sure everything is working as it should, that your original expectations are being met and that there are no other problems.
Please feel free to contact us should you need any assistance from us after completion.
