We coordinate all project activities from initial project evaluation through closeout, and provide comprehensive oversight of every consultant on the project team. We share the owner’s objectives and manage all aspects of the project to ensure those objectives are met.
At the onset of the project we budget and schedule to establish achievable scope that is in line with the owner’s financial interests. As the project moves forward, we manage projected and anticipated costs and set milestones for the project teams to keep the project within the parameters of the agreed upon project scope.
