CM-at-risk and agency construction management for owners who need a construction partner — not a subcontractor middleman. Backed by self-perform trades for schedule certainty when projects hit pressure.
Most CM firms are orchestrators. They coordinate subs, track schedules, and manage budgets — then escalate when something goes wrong. We run CM the same way, except we can put our own crews on site when it matters.
Construction management is a delivery method where the contractor engages early — during preconstruction — to advise on budget, schedule, and buildability, then manages the construction phase as either a CM-at-risk (we hold subcontracts and take financial responsibility) or agency CM (we act as the owner's representative without holding trade contracts).
The value proposition is earlier visibility, better budget control, and faster response to scope changes. Design-bid-build GC contracts are fine for defined work — but complex or evolving projects benefit from the deeper engagement that CM provides.
We deliver CM across multi-family, medical, retail, industrial, hospitality, and office projects. Our portfolio includes LP-backed institutional owners, regional developers, healthcare systems, and hospitality groups. Reporting and cost accounting scales to the owner — from handshake arrangements to full open-book GMP structures with lender audit.
The real differentiator: when a trade is late or underperforms, we can deploy our own roofing, electrical, or demolition crews to recover. Most CM firms don't have that option — they can only escalate.
CM isn't just schedule tracking. It's the full construction-phase responsibility, delivered with institutional-grade reporting and self-perform backup when the schedule needs it.
Acting on the owner's behalf in all construction matters — design coordination, trade engagement, change order review, and decision-support reporting.
Prequalification, bid leveling, contract negotiation, and day-to-day trade performance management across every scope on the project.
Master schedule development, critical path analysis, look-ahead tracking, and recovery planning when unforeseen conditions hit.
Monthly cost reports, buyout tracking, contingency management, and change order logs. Reporting formats match owner reporting needs.
Daily site inspections, quality assurance checks, third-party inspection coordination, and issue remediation before it compounds.
Site safety oversight, subcontractor safety compliance, OSHA coordination, and incident reporting as required.
Review, pricing, and negotiation of change orders. Protection of owner's contingency. Documentation for lender and LP reporting.
Punch list execution, as-built documentation, warranty filing, O&M manual delivery, and post-construction support through the warranty period.
Most of our work is CM-at-risk, but we deliver agency CM for owners who want to hold trade contracts directly. The right structure depends on risk tolerance, financing structure, and the owner's internal construction capacity.
We hold subcontracts, take financial responsibility for delivery at the agreed price, and share upside on savings. Owner has one point of accountability. Trade performance risk sits with us.
Owner holds trade contracts directly. We manage the project as the owner's representative — scheduling, coordination, reporting — without holding financial risk on trade performance.
