Our 30 years of diverse experience affords us the ability to smoothly guide a project from conception to completion.
We have directed design and construction teams in the successful development of many sophisticated and complicated projects and have met the many challenges they presented by way of restricted urban infill sites, difficult underground and foundation conditions, required site remediation and structural accomodations, varying mechanical/electrical systems, full life safety programs and OBC compliance, interesting exterior envelopes, and access management systems.
We know how to approach the Project and Construction Management process from the Developer’s perspective and are aware of the many complex issues for which precise execution is crucial to the Developer and to the Project Management process to ensure a successful and profitable project.
We are firm believers that much of the success of a project, from development, construction and operational perspectives, is derived from meticulous planning, attention to detail and coordination by the design team, as directed by the Project Manager during the all-important Pre-Construction design stage.
We are able to offer knowledgeable participation during preconstruction as well as throughout the project to completion and closeout. We are tenacious managers who thrive on details.
We are a reputable Tarion registered Builder. Additionally, we have LEED Accredited Professionals on staff and will ensure that the project design is energy efficient and minimizes environmental impact. We can also guide a project through the LEED registration and accreditation process.
Ensuring a project’s success starts at the beginning. That’s why we are passionate about meticulous planning, from the smallest details to ongoing coordination of the design team.
