Project Management Expertise

  • All Project Managers Are Experienced Engineers
    This not only enables our team to quickly spot technical hurdles before they become problems, but allows our clients to have direct access to answers for their technical questions through their Project Manager, often without having to involve other personnel.
  • Responsive and Clear Communication
    Project success hinges on excellent communication, ensuring all information and direction is shared clearly with clients, contractors, and government entities.
  • Schedule Adherence and Task Management
    We understand that delivering your project on time is important, and keeping every contributor on-task is a key component to achieving this objective. Occasionally, unforeseen obstacles can disrupt project schedules. We will both clearly communicate the status of the project with you and ensure every effort is made to overcome the problem and deliver the most optimized engineering deliverable as close to the project deadline as possible.
  • Budgetary Management
    Our Project Managers make every attempt to deliver a successful project within the budget proposed. While change orders can occur when project conditions change, our team’s goal is to work with you towards an outcome in your best interest.
  • Permitting Support and Coordination
    Permitting can involve multiple agencies for some projects in some jurisdictions, as well as multiple codes and regulations. Our Project Managers will help navigate the permitting process if defined in the proposal scope.
  • Procurement and Expediting
    Our PMs can develop RFQs, facilitate bid walks, and provide expert guidance in bid evaluations to ensure you select the best vendors for your project, as well as manage procurement of major equipment when it offers strategic cost or schedule benefits.
  • Quality Assurance/Quality Control
    Above all, our PMs ensure that every step of the process is the highest quality possible to maximize project success.
