Construction Management

Construction doesn't have to cause stress.  When done well, construction can be exciting and fun.  Our team of credentialed construction managers bridges the gap between owners, designers, tenants, and contractors to create unity in pursuit of a singular mission.  We create value through applying project management leadership and technical expertise in collaboration with contractors and all other stakeholders. 

If all interests of the parties' involved are not aligned, construction can turn into endless battles, low moral, and ultimately a project that suffers.  As construction manager, we provide executive oversite and facilitation of design reviews, value-engineering, project budgets, schedules, contractor procurement, contract negotiations, permit expediting, construction oversight, document reviews, project controls, project accounting, quality assurance, quality control, safety, and overall alignment of the construction team with the project mission.  Our team helps our investors and clients sleep well at night. Our aim is to make them wonder how we make it look so easy (it isn't!).
