The Design and Construction Management Procedures Manual applies to all projects undertaken by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory’s Projects and Construction Office (PCO), generally defined as design and construction of conventional facility projects. The processes and forms described in this manual are applied on a graded approach, with greater value and complexity projects requiring a higher level of documentation and approval than those of lesser value and complexity.
PCO carries out design and construction of new facilities and renovations and modifications, alterations and improvements, remediation, and reconstruction activities in existing facilities, in conformance with all applicable building and life safety codes. The PCO mission is to provide quality turnkey construction project services to enable world-class science programs at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
These procedures and policies provide guidance on the control of project cost, schedule, and scope; performance of the work according to standards for environmental, safety and health, safeguards and security, procurement, and financial reporting; with a goal to deliver a project fully capable of meeting mission needs.
