SERVICES

Preconstruction Planning

Pre-construction planning is the most important investment that a client can make to ensure a successful project.  Engaging a Certified Construction Manager to work in a fiduciary role can guide a client through all of the many complicated aspects of the early phases of project prior to the start of construction.  This investment will result in cost and time savings during construction.

Design & Construction Coordination

The coordination of the design services during pre-construction will save time and money during the construction phase of a project.  A Certified Construction Manager will prepare budgets and schedules to ensure that the project will meet the client's needs prior to construction.  An experienced CCM will guide the design process and perform value engineering studies during the design process.

Banking Institution Services

As a Certified Construction Manager with experience in Commercial and Residential projects I offer services to perform Plan & Cost Reviews prior to loan commitment, Commercial Loan Advance Inspections during construction and Property Condition Assessments.  My experience in estimating, scheduling, project management, procurement, executive management and company ownership is an asset in providing these services professionally and accurately.

 

Three qualified inspectors located in Lehigh, Berks and Bucks Counties.
