Program + Project Management
Whether leading all aspects of a project or program, augmenting a client’s internal or outsourced team, or providing a speciality service such as controls, energy consulting, or dispute resolution, our commitment to delivering value and driving results on behalf of our clients is unwavering.
Our team’s depth of expertise is derived from their diverse backgrounds and broad experience. These strengths enable our team to easily adapt to our clients’ unique needs, and support how and where we can add the most value. No task is too small or too complex. An assignment could include recommendations on a phased approach to a multi-billion capital improvement plan, evaluating procurement options for an urban mixed-use property, or support reviewing a schedule, change order, or dispute around an ongoing project.
We offer a flexible approach that provides each client with the tailored and specialized services precisely when they are needed on each project or program. We are exceptional communicators and are never shy to speak up when we see an opportunity to help improve the outcome of a project. We rely on data to support our recommendations, and, most importantly, always put our client’s interests first.

The better the upfront planning during the early phases, the smoother construction typically goes. Changes and unforeseen circumstances are normal during construction. Creating processes and contingencies at the outset helps to mitigate the majority of issues that could arise. The dashboards and related reports created to manage our projects provide early warning signs to proactively address issues before they become big problems. Effective communication throughout the process is also critically important for managing expectations. Services include:
